Rotorfolio Watch Collection

Every watch app starts the moment you own it. Rotorfolio starts earlier — at the boutique visit, the allocation list, the years between wanting a watch and wearing it. That part of collecting has never had anywhere to live. THE WAIT • Allocation lists with the boutique, the salesperson and the day you joined • A clock that counts the wait in years, months and days • A reminder when it has been too long since you last spoke to them • Milestones as the wait passes a month, three, six, a year and on THE CALL • Mark it acquired and the wait becomes part of the watch's record, not something you half-remember • What you paid, in the currency you actually paid, and the serial number • Photographs with the place, the date and a caption: the boutique shot, the wrist shot, the paperwork WORTH TELLING SOMEONE • A share card for any watch: your own photograph, the model, and what the wait took • Never what you paid, never the serial number • Watch of the day — a piece of horological history each morning, with a photograph, to send on with a line of your own LIVING WITH IT • An insurance schedule as a PDF, with per-currency subtotals — nothing converted, nothing guessed at • Set to time: a haptic countdown to the exact minute against a reference clock, logged as a fresh start • Accuracy: note how many seconds your watch is off and it works out the daily rate between readings • A service log with the watchmaker, the cost and the warranty, and a reminder before the next service is due • A timeline for each watch, from the first time you tried it to today WHEN IT GOES • Sold, traded or returned — kept in Gone, without erasing the years that led there ADDING A WATCH TAKES SECONDS • Type the reference, or browse fifteen brands and more than five thousand references by collection • Point the camera at the warranty card or caseback and the reference is read off it • Paste a link from the manufacturer's site and the watch arrives with its specifications • Anything not in the catalogue can still be entered by hand — nothing depends on it ON YOUR PHONE • Home and lock screen widgets: one watch, or the next thing to do • Meetup mode hides prices and serial numbers while you show the app to someone • Lock the app behind Face ID • Your collection syncs through your own iCloud, private to you PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account.
