INDEPENDENT WATCH AUTHENTICATION · INDIA
Know exactly what's on your wrist.
Hourmark authenticates pre-owned luxury watches: physically, by named experts, with a certificate anyone can verify. For buyers, sellers, collectors, and dealers across India.
By the operators of the Dialroom marketplace. Every Dialroom watch of ₹20,000+ passes through this same process.

Brand, model, and roughly what it's worth. Two minutes on the request form.

- 5Your Hourmark certificate
A tamper-evident record with a public verification page anyone can check, forever.
PRICING
Authentication is priced on the value of the watch: from ₹5,000 per ₹1 lakh of value, with the rate stepping down progressively as value rises.
Dealer and bulk lots are quoted per lot. Your exact quote is confirmed on the callback, before any work begins and before your watch moves anywhere.
VERIFY A CERTIFICATE
Enter the certificate number printed on the Hourmark card, or scan its QR code. Format is HM-YYYY-XXXXXX. Every certificate we have ever issued resolves here; revoked certificates say so, prominently.

WHAT A HOURMARK CERTIFICATE MEANS
- The watch was physically inspected by a named authenticator.
- The serial number was cross-checked and documented.
- Movement, case, dial, bracelet, crown, lume, crystal and weight were all documented.
- The verdict is pinned to the certificate number and publicly verifiable, by anyone, at any time.
- A certificate can be revoked if new evidence emerges; the verify page surfaces revocation prominently.
