Watch and Check was born from a passion for fine watchmaking and a professional path built over several decades in the watch industry. The idea, conceived more than ten years ago by our founder Daniele Vita, has grown into a concrete project thanks to constant dedication to studying and researching the most iconic models in watchmaking history. The result is a unique presence in the industry: a trusted consulting platform designed for collectors, buyers, and enthusiasts who want to rely on luxury watch experts for Rolex component verification and the authentication of their timepieces.
“A project born from love for precision, passion for details and over a decade of research dedicated to the world of haute horology.”
Watch And Check's mission is clear and ambitious: to provide all enthusiasts with a digital encyclopaedia that offers immediate access to all essential information to accurately assess the chronological accuracy of the next timepiece to add to their collection. The platform aims to be a reliable companion for watch enthusiasts, providing accurate and in-depth details on the most prestigious models.
All information collected in Watch And Check derives from years of in-depth studies and entirely personal comparisons. It is therefore important to emphasise that the information contained in the application has no connection or official confirmation from Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe or Rolex. Our publications may therefore not be shared by all and must be considered the result of personal analysis.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the vibrant community of enthusiasts with whom we have had the privilege to interact. In particular, I would like to warmly thank "Maestro" Gianni Paglione, who has given us the opportunity to grow in the field of high watchmaking and beyond, providing significant support in understanding the "Quantiem Perpetual" of Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe. Furthermore, we extend our thanks to our esteemed friends Carlo Pergola and Antonello Niceta for their valuable contributions in terms of advice and documentation, which have greatly enriched the content of our application. A heartfelt thank you also goes to "lo zio", known as "GSmarine", Giuliano Schiano, who, in addition to being a friend and admirer, has proven to be extremely helpful in providing valuable advice, materials, and technical support during our long and fruitful conversations. We are equally grateful to "TOM", Tommaso Migale, for his generous support and for the high-quality material provided regarding the Rolex "Submariner".
Last but certainly not least, I would like to express my deep gratitude to "MSTANGA", a pioneer in the study of the Audemars Piguet "Jumbo" and the Patek Philippe "Nautilus", without whom we would not have been able to develop a dedicated section for these two prestigious brands. Finally, our dear friend Davide Vernocchi, a passionate enthusiast and scholar of the field, whose in-depth studies have allowed us to discover new insights, and who is also the author of several articles published on our blog. A special thanks also goes to our expert in modern watches, Alberto Alessio – Top5, for his great support on our blog. Collaboration with individuals of such high caliber is a crucial element for the success and growth of Watch And Check. We are excited to share this experience with the wide and passionate audience of watch enthusiasts who continue to support us. Furthermore, for consultancy related to the brand "Rolex", we rely on the expertise of Dr. Carlo Pergola and Dr. Antonello Niceta, who are an integral part of our team. In addition to their valuable contribution to this forward-looking project, we are able to offer a specialized "Consulting" service to answer all your questions regarding originality and correctness of components, and more. Moreover, an "Expertise" service is available, provided by Dr. Daniele Vita, Dr. Pergola and Dr. Niceta. All of this can be found in the Ask The Expert section.
