DNA authentication for bags and watches with ProofDNA™

Independently confirm the authenticity of your products.

ProofDNA™ embeds an invisible DNA marker in the product itself, giving watches, jewellery and handbags forensic proof of authenticity. The marker is highly secure and cannot be removed.

  • Protect brand equity and customer trust
  • Preserve resale value and provenance across generations
  • Reduce return fraud
  • Highly efficient batch marking, on-site verification
“What convinced me about Haelixa is its simplicity: the proof lives in the material itself, with nothing extra to install or maintain. I’d like to see a swab test become as ordinary a part of authentication as a hallmark once was. Why is that important? The reliable and easy to execute validation of origin will increase consumer trust in the luxury industry’s offerings”

“As Group Advisor to KDDL and Delegate of the Board at Estima, I think about precision and quality at the component level. At Meister 1881, that same standard has to hold up in front of the client, years later. Haelixa’s DNA marker is one of the few technologies I’ve encountered that speaks to both of those worlds at once. I’m glad to bring that dual perspective to the team as they bring ProofDNA™ to manufacturers and retailers alike”
