About the session:

Many people collect watches – a single watch can easily exceed the limits included within many home contents policies, needing them to be specified. This webinar is an introduction to the watch market, looking at how it is changing, factors influencing price, key risks, and what brokers and insurers should be considering protecting both themselves and their clients.

Who is it for?

• Claims handlers and loss adjusters who want to understand what to look for in, and risks around, valuations with which they may be presented
• Compliance teams considering how to ensure clients and policyholders get the information they need to make informed decisions, and that they are treated fairly.

Learning Objectives:

• Why people collect watches
• What are the key brands and the importance of vintage watches
• Why some brands are more valuable & collectible than others
• What drives price increases – and do they ever decrease?
• Why watches are particularly “theft attractive” – and what you & clients can do about it
• The risk of fakes – and what you & clients can do about it
• The Watch Register
• The role of a valuation
