Use case
Collectors & collections
Document watch, jewelry, coin, art and precious-metal collections — for insurance, value tracking, and heirs.
Collecting is a lifetime project — and without clean documentation, an insurance liability. The app is built for inventorying large collections: fast to capture, easy to search, credible as proof.
What good collector documentation contains
- Multiple photos per item (front, detail, serial/hallmark, receipt)
- Provenance (previous owner, source) in the notes field
- Current value plus receipts/appraisals
- Location: home safe, deposit box, vitrine, attorney
- Status: active, on loan, in service
Common collector use cases
Watch collection
Multiple brands? Per-watch entry: brand, reference, caliber, serial number, year, service history. After a loss, every spec is immediately to hand — critical for police reports and insurance.
Jewelry
Karat, stone weight, hallmark, atelier — into the notes field, hallmark photo attached. For high-value pieces: appraisal as PDF on the item.
Art
Provenance is central. Photos front/back/side, catalogue raisonné number, gallery receipt, restoration reports. For loans: set status to “on loan.”
Coins
Catalogue references (Krause, Numista) in notes. Photos per coin — obverse and reverse — as the visual anchor.
Frequently asked questions
Can the app handle a sizeable watch collection?
Yes. There is no hard item count limit. Each watch gets photos (multiple angles, caliber, serial number), receipts, purchase date and current value. Categories let you filter by brand or complication.
Can I track value changes over time?
You can update the value of any item at any time — the app logs the change as a 'modification' activity entry, so the timeline is transparent.
