Guide

What Is a Digital Product Passport for Watches?

In short: a Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record you reach through a QR code or NFC chip on the product. It carries the item's identity, origin and traceability. The EU is making it mandatory for many product categories under the ESPR, phased in per sector. CBNO watches are already built on exactly this kind of infrastructure, with authenticity verification added on top.

What is a Digital Product Passport?

A DPP gives a physical product a permanent digital identity. You scan a QR code or tap an NFC chip and see structured information about the item: what it is, where and how it was made, and its history. Think of it as a passport that travels with the product for its whole life, instead of a paper card that gets lost.

Why is it coming?

Under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the Digital Product Passport is becoming mandatory, rolled out category by category over the coming years. The goal is transparency and traceability across the whole lifecycle of a product. For brands it means one thing: a compliant digital identity on each item will move from "nice to have" to "required".

What it means for watches and luxury goods

Luxury and watches are a natural fit. A digital passport lets an owner prove provenance, supports resale and repair, and fights counterfeiting. Even before it becomes legally required for every category, forward-looking brands are adopting it, because customers increasingly expect to verify what they buy.

How CBNO is already DPP-ready

  • A built-in data carrier. Every CBNO piece has an NFC chip you tap with your phone. No app needed.
  • A unique product identity. Each watch has its own secure identity and a living history of verified scans.
  • Authenticity on top. Beyond what a passport requires, the chip cryptographically proves the piece is genuine and cannot be cloned.
  • Ownership and resale. Register the piece, transfer it, or flag it if it is ever stolen.

The takeaway

The digital passport is the future of how products prove what they are. CBNO built that infrastructure into its watches from day one, and added something a passport alone does not give you: unforgeable proof of authenticity.
