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
