The Wonderful World of Watches
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 to protect both themselves and
their clients.
Who is it for?
This webinar is for:
- Brokers and insurers who handle home contents insurance for MNW and HNW clients who may
have a single specifiable watch or a valuable collection
- 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

Establishing Insurable Gross Profit
Infinity Alliance v Heath Crawford decided in 2023 highlighted a gap in understanding, which was not exclusive to the defendant firm, that of establishing a firm’s insurable gross profit.
An increasing reliance upon standardised cover has probably reduced those skills necessary to correctly establish what an applicant firm’s gross profit happens to be and to solve some of the issues that this process reveals.
