Accidental Loss

How easy is it to lose a watch ?

It's surprisingly easy to lose a watch, even the best quality watches can have straps that fail unexpectedly and the watch can fall off the wrist, if busy it may be a while before you notice the item is missing.

We can arrange insurance to protect you against loss, However you will be expected to take reasonable care of your watch as you would with any valuable item. Your insurers will also require you to assist them with it's recovery by retracing steps and places you visited before the loss was noticed.

When travelling away from home you must be wearing the watch or it must be left in a safe (a normal hotel room safe is adequate) All watch losses must be reported to the police including local police if you are abroad.

Theft

Unfortunately watches get stolen, we make sure you are covered if the worst happens.

Theft

Thieves are on the lookout for valuable watches.

A valuable watch such as a Rolex, Omega, or Tag Heuer proudly displayed on your wrist is a beacon to thieves, they know the expensive brands and often will have a detailed knowledge of the model as well. Thieves are well aware of the value of second hand watches and in the case of some Rolex models for example, replacement second hand, can costs more than acquiring the model brand new. This is often the situation with particularly desirable models, as there can be a waiting list to obtain one.

Many thieves are quite adept at removing watches from your wrist, they’ll know how the clasps and straps work and often will operate in teams employing diversionary tactics to steal your item without you realising it.

Other thieves take a more brutal approach threatening violence against you personally or using it to break in to your home or a gym locker where the watch has been left.

A policy arranged by Assetsure, will cover you against Theft including when it has been left at home or in a gym locker or a safe whilst you are away from you home.

Watches over £10,000 left at home will also need to be kept in a safe. All Thefts must be reported to the police including reporting it to the police locally if you are abroad.

Accidental Damage

Accidents happen, and your policy will ensure that your item can be repaired or replaced.

Accidental Damage

Accidental Damage can mean an expensive repair bill.

Wear and tear, scratching and cosmetic changes, which happen normally as an item ages ,we all have to live with, and are not insurable by any policy we can arrange, but what about more serious damage, say you drop your watch or fell over and cracked the crystal or a fall damaged the mechanism of the watch.

These type of damages can mean expensive repair bills, some manufactures also insist on performing a full service when carrying out any repairs and that alone can mean hundreds of pounds in costs.

A policy arranged covers accidental damage and as there is no excess, repairs will be paid for in full.
