CHS SA GENEVE CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION
The CHS SA GENEVE certificate registers the information provided by the customer about the watch; brand, serial number, model reference number and movement number. The information on this document is then entered into the International Archives of CHS SA GENEVE (with full customer privacy). This process records the data of a new watch, as well as being a secure identification document for antique and vintage timepieces. These watches have been in the marketplace for years and their traceability needs to be safeguarded, as it can increase their commercial value.
Every CHS SA GENEVE Certificate of Registration is issued with a CHS card showing the following information:
- Security Code(a personal identification code required for the transfer of a Certificate of Registration.)
- Certificate number
- Date of issue
- Date of expiry
- Name and address of the person or company, that has applied for the Certificate of Registration. With regard to customer privacy, there are three options as to what is written on the card:
- Private or Company (name and address)
- Private or Company (name only)
COSTS
The certificate costs 75 CHF (Swiss Francs) for 12 months, 89 CHF for 24 months, and 105 CHF for 36 months. The service is activated within 30 days from the date of payment. This can be done in Swiss francs, by credit card or credit transfer.
CERTIFICATE TRANSFER
In the event that the customer decides to sell or transfer the watch to another person, the registered name in the database for that watch can be changed without charge. This process does not affect the validity of the certificate, providing that the alterations are supplied with the Security code (found on the CHS card). To make this modification, the customer must go to the CHS SA GENEVE webpage, click on "transfer a certificate", and enter the Security code. CHS SA GENEVE will then send the previous customer an email, and, if after 15 days no objection is made to this request, the transfer will take place automatically.
LOSS
If the certificate document is lost, it can be reissued by paying the cost of replacing the document.
VALIDITY
The Certificate of Registration created by CHS SA GENEVE has a validity of 12, 24, or 36 months. When this time has expired, the customer will be sent notification via email allowing 30 days for renewal. If no renewal takes place during this period, the registered information for the watch will be removed from the database.
ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES
On becoming part of the International Archives, CHS SA GENEVE will notify the customer by email in the following circumstances:
- for security, if an attempt is made to register details of the same watch on the database
- when a certificate has expired
- to inform the customer of exclusive promotional offers
