Reference · Watch collection app

Keep track of your watch collection.

The watch you wear every day. The one you bring out for dinner. The one you noticed across the table. Keep them in Reference, with a clear distinction between watches you own and watches you have spotted.

The Index · Example collection · English interface

Know your collection at a glance.

Your Index brings studio portraits, watch names and references together. Switch between Owned and Spotted, or search for the watch you want to find. Everything in this collection stays private.

Start with the photos you already have.

Select several watch photos and review them before starting identification. Add a larger collection in batches, check progress and return to results that need a correction. You can also enter the brand, model and reference yourself.

  • Choose which photos to add.
  • Review the identification allowance before proceeding.
  • Correct a match without starting your collection again.

A portrait for the Index. Your photo for the memory.

After identification, Reference prepares a studio portrait for the gallery. The portrait can arrive later than the watch details. Your original photograph remains in Your photos, separate from the generated image.

See what gets wrist time.

Log the watch you are wearing and build a daily wear history. Wear entries belong to active Owned watches. A watch you spotted can stay in your Index without becoming part of your wearing rotation.

Keep the details with the watch.

Save references and notes where you can find them again. Pro adds purchase and service records, private values you enter yourself, monthly wear summaries and a larger identification allowance. Current prices and allowances appear in the app.

About keeping a collection in Reference

Can I use the Index without Pro?

Yes. The free Index includes manual watch entry, daily wear history and access to saved portraits and records. Introductory identifications have an allowance. Pro expands identification access and adds record-keeping features.

What if I have more than 100 watches?

Add selected photos in batches and review the results as you go. Check the available identification allowance before each batch. Manual entry is useful for watches whose details you already know.

Does adding a watch publish it?

No. Your Index and wear history are private. Sharing a watch with Community is a separate action, and you choose what to post.

Does Reference value my collection automatically?

You can record your own private watch values with Pro. These are personal records, not automatic live market prices or professional appraisals.
