Italian luxury brand Panerai will introduce an NFT "digital passport" for every watch, establishing its digital identity, ensuring authenticity, and offering extended warranties for registered owners from October 3.
Designed to establish the watch's digital identity and provide proof of authenticity, this digital passport will contain detailed information about the timepiece, ensuring its integrity and value. Panerai has partnered with Arianee, a leading Web3 solutions provider, to implement this innovative blockchain-powered feature.
Panerai's NFT passport is not just a static record. It is a portable and transferable asset that will accompany the watch throughout its journey, capturing its specifications and milestones over time.
In addition to ensuring peace of mind for owners, the digital passport offers them a compelling advantage. By registering their watch, they can benefit from an extended international limited warranty of up to eight years, incentivizing participation in this initiative.
This move showcases Panerai's commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology and elevating the customer experience. With a heritage spanning 163 years, this luxury brand recognizes the potential for additional value-added services and advantages that the digital era brings.
Earlier this year, Panerai integrated Arianee's technology for a limited edition watch, which featured an NFT artwork and marked the beginning of this digital passport journey. Now, Panerai is expanding this functionality to cover all its watches, solidifying its dedication to technology-driven innovation.
Owners can claim their digital passports either at the time of purchase from Panerai boutiques or by scanning a QR code on the warranty card. This hassle-free process ensures seamless integration into the ownership experience.
Arianee's collaboration with Panerai demonstrates its established position within the luxury watch industry. Having previously worked with renowned brands such as Breitling, L'Oreal, Moncler, Lacoste, and the Richemont Group, Arianee's expertise adds credibility to this groundbreaking move by Panerai.
Panerai's introduction of an NFT-based digital passport comes at a time when luxury brands are increasingly exploring the potential of NFTs to safeguard product authenticity and enhance customer trust.
