## What is Watch Keeper?

For Collectors Who Take Their Watches Seriously

Every watch tells a story. Watch Keeper helps you discover, document, and preserve it.

Designed for enthusiasts who care about more than telling time, Watch Keeper combines the most detailed watch catalogue on iOS with a powerful private collection manager. Search 100,000+ references across 490+ brands. Browse 1,330+ calibres organized by manufacturer and family — Sellita SW200, ETA 2824, Valjoux 7750, and every variant. Then bring the watches you own into a private, encrypted catalogue of your own — dial finish, lug width, purchase price, service history, the works.

Explore the Watch World

A reference catalogue built for serious enthusiasts:
• 100,000+ watch references with photos, specs, and provenance
• 550+ brands with parent organizations, heritage links, and acquisition history
• 1,600+ calibres grouped by manufacturer, with family lineage and base-calibre relationships
• Browse by manufacturer, calibre family, complication, or any combination
• Advanced search with filters on brand, calibre, calibre family, complications, dial, hands, materials, and more
• AI image recognition — upload a photo and find matches in the catalogue
• AI text search — describe a watch and find candidates
• Bookmark references you're curious about for later

Your Private Collection

Add watches by searching the catalogue or enter details manually. Record everything from dial finish and lug width to purchase price and full service history. Attach photos, receipts, certificates, and insurance documents.

Privacy That Matches the Value of Your Collection

Your data is encrypted on your device before it ever leaves your phone. Watch Keeper uses client-side encryption with a key only you control — we never see your collection data. Back up securely to iCloud with confidence.

Track What Matters

Wrist Time Monitoring — Log wear sessions, track frequency, and see which watches get the time they deserve.

Service History — Document providers, costs, parts replaced, and warranties. Build a complete maintenance timeline.

Timing Sessions — Record timegrapher readings across positions. Track rate, amplitude, beat error, and regulation over time.

Sell Smarter

When it's time to let a piece go, the Sale Post Generator creates formatted, platform-ready listings using your existing watch data. Set price, describe condition, choose auction or fixed price, and share directly. Track listings from draft to sold.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-06-30

Browse calibre families
The Explore section now organises calibres by family — find every Sellita SW200, ETA 2824, or Valjoux 7750 variant in one place. Family detail pages show the base calibre, inspired-by relationships across manufacturers, and the full member list.

Unified Explore search
One search box across the catalogue. Families, calibres, brands, and references appear together in your results, ranked by relevance. The redesigned Explore section makes it easier to discover watches by lineage, complication, or maker.

Smarter Advanced Search
New Calibre Family filter narrows references by family — see every reference using a Sellita SW200 base regardless of brand. Existing filters across brand, calibre, complications, dial, hands, and materials combine cleanly.

A refreshed interface
A UI overhaul touches the whole app — clearer typography, more consistent spacing, and improved navigation across My Watches, Explore, and detail pages. The reference image carousel now renders smoothly with full-screen zoom. Light and dark themes follow your system setting, with a manual override if you prefer one over the other.

Smoother collection flow
My Watches toolbar fits cleanly on smaller phones with priority-aware controls. First-time login on a new device retries decryption automatically when you enter your encryption key — no more "no watches" message before your collection loads. Search inputs now follow the iOS-native pattern with a Cancel button when focused.

Privacy and reliability
Various bug fixes across brand heritage rendering, parent-organisation names, search relevance, and ref indexing. Several edge cases around encryption key handling have been tightened.
