Meet the expert

Fabrice Gueroux is an International authority on horological counterfeiting and the author of two books about the subject, Vraies et fausses montres (real and fake watches).

He advises, among others, the French customs service in lectures and workshops on how to detect horological fakes. Every year he holds master classes at the Geneva High School of Management with the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry. Many watch companies call on him for teaching or advice relating to counterfeiting.

Backed by more than a decade of experience in identifying fake timepieces, his training courses and the awareness campaigns conducted through his Truetime association make an important contribution to the struggle against horological counterfeiting around the world.

Fabrice Guéroux took part in the Capital program on the M6 TV channel investigat- ing fake Rolex watch distribution networks and published articles in specialized me- dia, including La Revue des Montres, Heures, and Night & Day. The French press — Le Parisien, Le Nouvel Economiste, Montres Magazine, Ouest France — has covered his activities extensively.

“My books and Masterclass will help you learn to appreciate the care taken in finishing the tiniest details of a properly manufactured watch. By examining and comparing the level of finish, you can tell the difference between a fake and a genuine watch. In all modesty I hereby make available to you the fruit of several years of observation.” – Fabrice Gueroux
