WISeKey, together with invited experts, addressed how the team at GDGC was able to strategically secure the asset to the blockchain and entering each item’s detailed specs, such as the crystal type, bezel, strap material as well as origin of sale. 

In addition, they debated why the WISe.Art platform was selected to perform this method of tokenization and provenance creation (which can’t be tampered with or disputed as the information will live on forever in the Metaverse).

As previously announced, WISeKey commercially launched its WISe.Art NFT platform (https://www.wise.art) for the collectible and luxury market on September 1, 2021, following a series of market test auctions, including the two world premiere NFT auctions of the digital twins of a physical watch.
