The Wonderful World of Watches

Webinar

Industry Expert: Rachel Doerr, Doer Dallas Valuations

When: Friday 3rd October 2025

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 in order to protect both themselves and their clients.

• 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.
