Shado is an Australian authentication and provenance company developing discreet technology for luxury watches and handbags, built in before first sale. Each protected watch or handbag is connected to a digital identity that can be checked in the app or through Vault Lookup. It can show ownership records, certificate status, secure transfer, and a stolen flag that blocks transfer if the owner reports it lost or stolen.

Shado has three editions: Provenance for certificate records, Sentinel (in development) for location reporting while Protection Mode is on, and Guardian (in development). Boutiques, resellers and insurers check a piece by tapping it with the Shado app or entering its Shado ID on Vault Lookup.

Shado is pre-launch and preparing pilot partnerships in the UK and EU. The company is also in early conversations with Swiss and European luxury watch contacts. Product visuals and public materials reflect the intended direction and will be updated as milestones progress.
