Mainplate dashboard: collection value €31,080 across 8 watches, with the watch in the box, register totals and the Daily Picker
01 — Collection

Your whole collection
on one quiet page.

Brand, model, reference and year. What you paid, and what it’s worth today. Box and papers, service notes and your own remarks — every watch reads like a catalogue plate, because Mainplate cuts each photo out for you automatically. Keep a wishlist of the ones you’re still chasing, and a record of the ones you’ve sold.

Collection list: each watch with brand, model, reference, year and current value, with box and papers badges
Watch detail: Rolex Submariner No-Date with total invested, purchase price, service cost, acquired date and wear count
Flips register: total invested, margin and return, with each watch and its lifecycle status
Flip detail: a sold Seiko showing realised profit, bought, costs, sold, labour and a full cost log
02 — Flips

See the profit
in every flip.

Follow a watch from bought, to in progress, to sold. Add up every cost along the way — parts, service, shipping, even your own hours at the bench — and read your profit and return at a glance, for a single deal or your whole register.

03 — Accuracy

Know how well
it really runs.

Take a reading, wait a few days, and take another. Mainplate works out how many seconds a day your watch gains or loses and shows it on a clean dial — measured against the very standards used to certify a chronometer. Keep the full history for every piece.

Deviation gauge reading +0.1 seconds per day, inside the chronometer accuracy zone, with average, best and worst readings
Daily Picker landing on a Grand Seiko SBGA211 Snowflake, with Pick Again and Worn Today, added to the Home Screen widget
04 — Daily Pick

What to wear
today?

Can’t decide? Let Mainplate choose a watch from your collection, mark it as worn, and keep today’s pick on your Home Screen with the widget. It syncs to every device — because every piece deserves its day on the wrist.

05 — Time Sync

Set your watches
to the second.

A precise reference clock with a sweeping seconds hand, the date, your timezone and a live moonphase. Follow the simple steps to set the time exactly — and to set a moonphase complication the right way, without harming the movement.

Time Sync reference clock at 18:17:19 with a moonphase subdial, the date, timezone and step-by-step sync guidance
Inventory grouped into categories — crystal, movement, parts, service, straps and equipment — built from your service logs
06 — Inventory

Every spare part,
accounted for.

Crystals, movements, straps, tools — your parts inventory builds itself from the costs you log on each flip, sorted into tidy categories. So you always know what’s on the bench and what’s in the drawer.

Also in Mainplate

Everything a collection
asks of you.

Wear & cost-per-wear

Log the days you actually wear each watch. Mainplate turns its price into a cost-per-wear and shows what you really reach for — and what’s been sitting in the box.

Service reminders

Set a service interval and Mainplate keeps watch, so no movement quietly runs years past its due date.

Document vault

Keep warranty cards, receipts and service papers with the watch they belong to — and export them, neatly set, as a single PDF.

Share your collection

Turn your collection — or a single watch — into a clean, gallery-style image, sized for Instagram, TikTok, X and more, ready to post in a tap.

Effortless photos

Snap your watch and Mainplate lifts it cleanly off the background, so your collection looks like a catalogue, not a camera roll.

A calm instrument design

Gallery-black surfaces, fine hairlines and a single champagne accent — in light and dark, following your device. Built to feel at home beside your best watches.

Everywhere you are

iPhone. iPad. Mac.
Always in step.

Open Mainplate on any device and find the same collection, the same flips, the same history. iCloud keeps everything in sync automatically — nothing to set up, nothing to back up.
