Definitions

  • the invention relates to watches, in particular wristwatches, and jewelery, in particular jewelery, as well as a system for testing for authenticity.
  • the object of the invention is to show a way, such as the security against counterfeiting of watches in particular wristwatches, and jewelery, in particular of jewelery, can be increased. There is a need for high quality watches and jewelery.
  • clocks in particular wristwatches, and by jewelery, in particular by pieces of jewelry, which are captively provided with an electronic memory in which data of a certificate are stored, and which have an interface through which the data can be queried ,
  • Jewelery is understood to mean in particular jewelery, but also other decorative objects made of or using precious materials such as precious metals, gemstones, semi-precious stones and real pearls, eg. B. Fabergé eggs or vessels.
  • the amount of data stored in the electronic memory of a timepiece according to the invention or jewelery according to the invention is not critical to the invention, as far as the data permit some kind of authenticity check of the timepiece or jewelery, e.g. B. by an identification of each clock or the individual jewelery. In this sense they are understood as data of a certificate.
  • the stored data of the certificate can in addition to a serial number and the manufacturer's specification in particular z. Including the date of manufacture, an indication of the supplier to whom the watch or jewelery was delivered, the date of delivery and specifications of the watch or jewelery, specifications of any precious metals and precious metal used, a trademark and / or a responsibility mark.
  • the data stored in the electronic memory data of the certificate can in this way supplement or even replace the usual in watch cases and jewelry made of precious metal hallmark.
  • the electronic memory is preferably a read-only memory, for example a flash memory, in particular a flash EEPROM.
  • a read-only memory for example a flash memory, in particular a flash EEPROM.
  • a writable memory especially in combination with a read-only memory. This has the advantage that the data of the certificate written by the manufacturer in the read-only memory z. For example, when buying the watch or the jewelery to the name of the dealer, at the time of sale and / or the name of the buyer can be added and that at later inspections, complaints or repairs this can be logged by type, extent and time.
  • At least part of the data stored in the electronic memory is encrypted.
  • the security against counterfeiting of a wristwatch according to the invention or a jewelery article according to the invention can be further increased. It is possible to encrypt all data of the certificate or to leave part of the data, such as the manufacturer's information, unencrypted.
  • the interface via which the stored data of the certificate can be queried is preferably designed for a contactless data query. But it is also possible that the interface has one or more electrical connection contacts on the clock or on the jewelery, which can be contacted for reading the electronic memory, such as the memory chip of a bank card.
  • a contactless data query has the advantage that the retrieval of the data from the electronic memory is easier and more convenient, since an attachment of the wristwatch or jewelery to an interrogator is not required.
  • a contactless data query can be done, for example, via an interface for infrared light or by radio (with low-frequency (LF) or high-frequency (HF) or ultra-high-frequency (UHF) interrogation signals, in particular by means of microwaves).
  • the data transmission preferably takes place via the interface by radio. Radio transmitted signals are not as easily shielded as infrared radiation and are therefore easier to receive. It is particularly preferred to provide the watch or jewelery with a transponder to which the electronic memory belongs, in which data of a certificate are stored, and to form the interface as a transponder interface.
  • the transponder is preferably a passive transponder. A passive transponder does not have its own power source but derives the electrical energy required for its operation from an interrogation signal transmitted to it.
  • active transponder in a clock, however, active transponder can be used, which are powered by an electrical power source, for example by a battery or by an electric accumulator, with electricity.
  • an electrical power source for example by a battery or by an electric accumulator, with electricity.
  • the active transponder and the electrically operated movement can use a common power source.
  • the interface has at all an antenna or an antenna which takes up more space than an electronic transponder chip, since an interrogation device already has a very poor transmission power over the Near field, can communicate with a transponder.
  • Such coupling via the near field wherein a minimum distance between the transponder chip and the interrogator, for example at antenna-less RFID systems used (RFID, R adio F requency I dentification).
  • RFID RFID, R adio F requency I dentification
  • the interface of a wristwatch according to the invention or a jewelery article according to the invention preferably comprises an antenna, so that contactless data interrogation over a greater distance, which may be for example a few meters, is possible. In this way, watches and jewelery according to the invention z. B. are checked by customs in their transport packaging by reading the data of their certificate, so that counterfeits can be detected and intercepted with little effort already at import.
  • an interface with an antenna for contactless data interrogation can be provided.

  • an antenna can be integrated in a chain, in a cord or in a cord, z. B. are woven as a metallic wire or a metallic thread in a cord or in a string or in a chain.
  • a transponder can also be advantageously mounted in or on a clasp, wherein at least after opening the clasp can be used as an antenna adjacent to the clasp part of the piece of jewelry.
  • a further advantageous possibility is to arrange the transponder under a non-metallic decorative element, for. B. under a gemstone, a semi-precious stone or a mineral, eg. B. in the lower part of the socket of a stone in a ring.
  • a carrier with an antenna Through the non-metallic jewelry element radio waves can be transmitted.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the transponder and / or its antenna are located on a designed as a jewelry carrier, for. B. on an enamel surface on which the transponder and its antenna whose structure can serve as a design element, are isolated from the metallic carrier.
  • the electronic memory is preferably part of an electronic circuit which is supplied with power by an electric battery provided in the watch or in the jewelery or by an electric accumulator provided in the watch or in the jewelery.
