One of the biggest threats facing the watch industry is the proliferation of fakes and replicas. Truth be told, some very good fakes and replicas can be found these days. However, watch brands are stepping up to the challenge and are looking at ways to incorporate technologies to make their watches difficult or impossible to copy. One such brand is Carl F. Bucherer and we will be finding out the technologies it employs to make its watches harder to copy. Speaking of fake watches, we also interview The FakeWatchBuster, a vigilante on Instagram who busts users and their fake watches.
