Why I'm building this

The app I wish existed.

I'm a collector, and I started Reveliers because the watch communities I spent time in had begun to feel narrow. The same hype pieces every week. The same resale chatter. Meanwhile, so much of what makes collecting interesting stayed off-screen: vintage references, microbrand experiments, odd details, quiet pieces, and the watches people actually wear.

There was also the practical side. Every time I needed a serial number, a service date, a measurement, or a receipt, I was digging through boxes, emails, notes, and photos trying to piece the record back together.

So I started building the app I wanted to use.

Reveliers is a private collection vault first. Snap a watch, and the app helps identify the likely reference and starter details. Add the things that matter to you: photos, wear history, service records, purchase price, notes, documents, and the story behind the piece. Your private vault records are encrypted on your device before they are stored, and only what you choose to share becomes visible.

The community side is meant to feel different too. More collector stories, personal context, and watches you might never have searched for on your own. Share one watch, share a curated collection view, or share nothing at all. Your choice, never the default.

I don't have this figured out. I know what a calmer, broader place for collectors looks like to me, but I don't know what it should look like to you. If you join early, tell me what's missing, what feels off, and what would make this the app you actually keep open.

The features that ship next will be shaped by the collectors who use it.

If you've ever wanted a quieter, more curious place for watch collectors, I'd love to build it with you.

Reveliers is not anti-community or anti-market.
It is anti-noise, and collector-first.

How it stays private

Private vault records, encrypted before they leave your phone.

Wear logs, prices, stories, service records, insurance details, and saved collection photos are encrypted on your device with a key that lives in your iCloud Keychain. The server stores opaque ciphertext for those records, and the vault key never reaches Reveliers. If you use photo identification, that image is processed separately to suggest likely references; it is not added to your vault unless you choose to save it. Shared watches, public profile fields, and community posts are handled separately, with their own controls.

Your key, on your devices

The encryption key is generated on your iPhone and syncs to your other Apple devices through iCloud Keychain. It never reaches the Reveliers server.

AES-256-GCM, per record

Every wear log, price, story, service record, insurance detail, and saved collection photo is sealed individually on your phone before it leaves, with a fresh nonce per record.

Server-side ciphertext

Your vault records are stored as opaque bytes. There is no decryption key on the server. A breach of the vault rows would not expose readable collection contents without the vault key.

What's inside

Made for how collectors actually spend their time.

Vault

A private record for each watch.

Each watch gets a private record for the details that matter: photos, reference information, measurements, purchase history, service dates, documents, wear notes, and the story behind the piece. Private vault records are encrypted on your device before storage. Share one watch, share a curated collection view, or share nothing at all. What you share is up to you.

Stories

A calmer way to discover watches.

Follow collector stories, personal notes, vintage references, microbrand experiments, and the watches people actually wear. Built around stories and context, not hype cycles or resale chatter. A small circle of collectors whose taste you trust, and the references you might never have searched for on your own.

Identify

A starting point, not a final answer.

Snap a watch and Reveliers helps suggest likely matches and starter details, so you are not beginning from a blank form. Then add, correct, or expand the record with your own notes, photos, documents, and history. Built to help you build a better record, not to pretend every watch can be perfectly identified from one image.

History

The practical history, with the watch.

Keep service dates, warranty details, receipts, seller notes, measurements, and documents on the watch they belong to. Useful for service, appraisal, insurance, or resale. Whether you are remembering the story or handing the record to someone who needs it, the practical history is there when you need it.

Records when you need them

The practical record, ready when it matters.

When a watch is due for service, appraisal, insurance review, or resale, the details are often scattered across emails, receipts, warranty cards, photos, and memory. Reveliers helps you structure the record while you have time, so the important proof stays attached to the watch.

Each record can include identity, ownership, value, condition, service history, documents, and photos, encrypted as part of your private vault.

What each watch can have on file

Identity: Brand, model, reference, serial number, materials, and year
Ownership: Purchase date, dealer, price, receipts, warranty card, box, and papers
Value: Insured value, replacement value, and market comps with capture date
History: Service records, condition notes, original vs modified parts, and photos

Export when needed

Send a structured record to an insurer, appraiser, buyer, or watchmaker.

Per-watch packet: Identity, ownership, value, photos, and proof
Collection summary: Watches, values, and totals
CSV and photo sheet: Organized for handoff, appraisal, or review

Reveliers helps you keep the record. Coverage, claims, and appraised value are handled by your insurer, appraiser, or service provider.

Already use something else?

Reveliers sits in a different lane.

Most of the apps collectors already use are good at one thing. Reveliers is the private record of your collection itself.

If you use

Chrono24

Reveliers is collector-first, not marketplace-first. You get notes, service history, timegrapher logs, and exports, not just resale valuations and listings.

If you use

WatchCrunch

Reveliers starts private. Community sharing is optional, smaller, and more controlled.

If you use

WatchCharts

Reveliers carries ownership records and service context, not just price tracking. The story of each watch (who wore it, when it was serviced, what it cost you) stays attached.

If you use

A spreadsheet or Notion

Reveliers does photos, photo-to-reference identification, timegrapher capture, and one-tap exports the spreadsheet won't. The structure follows how watches actually live.

There's always one more watch worth knowing about.

Community

A quieter circle, starting small.

Reveliers isn't trying to be Reddit, WatchCrunch, or another resale-driven feed. Most of the app is your own private vault. The community part is small on purpose. A place to follow a handful of collectors whose taste you trust, see what they collect, what they wear, and how they think.

I'd rather it stay quiet and useful than grow fast and noisy. If you join early, your feedback shapes what gets built next. I'm not promising every idea makes it in, but I am promising to listen.
