Adding physical proof to digital identity.Swiss DNA-based technology for traceability and authentication.
Independently confirm the authenticity of your products.
ProofDNA™ embeds an invisible DNA marker in the product itself, giving watches, jewellery and handbags forensic proof of authenticity. The marker is highly secure and cannot be removed.
Protect brand equity and customer trust
Preserve resale value and provenance across generations
We use DNA marking to make supply chains traceable and products verifiable. Applied with a simple spray process, the DNA marker sits inside fibres, raw materials and finished goods, and forensic testing confirms their origin and authenticity.
“What convinced me about Haelixa is its simplicity: the proof lives in the material itself, with nothing extra to install or maintain. I’d like to see a swab test become as ordinary a part of authentication as a hallmark once was. Why is that important? The reliable and easy to execute validation of origin will increase consumer trust in the luxury industry’s offerings”
Dr Frank Müller
Former CEO of Glashütte Original
“As Group Advisor to KDDL and Delegate of the Board at Estima, I think about precision and quality at the component level. At Meister 1881, that same standard has to hold up in front of the client, years later. Haelixa’s DNA marker is one of the few technologies I’ve encountered that speaks to both of those worlds at once. I’m glad to bring that dual perspective to the team as they bring ProofDNA™ to manufacturers and retailers alike”
Hanspeter Pieth
Board Member, Estima AG and Delegate of the Board of Directors, Meister 1881

Raphael Gübelin
CEO, Gübelin
