A transponder for securing a product displayed in a shop. The transponder includes two blocks each including a contact surface, the contact surfaces being positioned face to face, the blocks being connected to each other by an adjustable connection, that allows to manually adjust the moving closer together or farther apart of the blocks with respect to one another, thus allowing the transponder to be attached to a suitable element of the product, by gripping the element between the contact surfaces of the blocks, one of the blocks including wireless detection and transmission equipment, which allows the remote management of the presence of the transponder on the suitable element.

Anti-theft transponder

A display stand () for a watch, the display stand including an open or closed support loop (), and configured to support a wristwatch when the strap is closed around the loop (). The loop includes at least one electrical switch that can be actuated in one or other of two states, and wherein the state of the switch is determined according to the presence or absence of the watch around the loop (), making it possible to manage the presence of the watch on the display stand.

Protected display stand for watches

An anti-theft system that can be applied in a commercial environment such as a watch store. The products on display in-store are secured by an electronic tag () attached to the product. The tag is provided with a chip () which emits a first signal which can only be received within a defined perimeter around the chip. An electronic transmitting device () is located within this perimeter, which sends the data transmitted within the first signal in the form of a second signal which further contains a value relative to the distance between the tag and the transmitting device. The second signal is managed by one or more computers, preferably of the portable type (), which are equipped with a digital application configured to analyse the second signal to check for the presence of the tags () within a defined security zone () around the transmitting device ().
