Stanhope works with clients who need cover for high-value possessions, including watches, jewellery, art and collections. We work with a range of insurers, which means we can help clients compare options rather than relying on one route.

Different owners need different cover. We know that standard cover is rarely expansive enough for owners of luxury items, but even within the realm of specialist cover there are a lot of variations. For example, if you own a single Saxonia, you’ll need a different policy to someone who has a timepiece collection containing Audemars Piguet, Rolex and Omega.

Stanhope can support you with:

  • Access to multiple insurance products
  • Instant quote options (where available)
  • Flexible underwriting for higher values
  • Specialist advisors who understand valuable watches
  • Tailored recommendations based on how you use your watch
  • Support if you need to make a claim

For some clients, standalone cover for valuable watches is the right option. For others, particularly if you have many high-value items worth protection, a high-value home insurance policy may be a better fit.


Protect your A. Lange & Söhne watches with confidence

At Stanhope, we arrange tailored insurance for owners who need more than standard cover for high-value timepieces.

Whether it’s insurance for a single Saxonia watch, a growing collection, or multiple valuable possessions, we help arrange specialist cover to support a range of ownership needs, including:

  • Options to include watches alongside other high-value possessions
  • Multiple watches under one policy
  • Worldwide cover as standard
  • Protection against theft, accidental damage and loss
  • Flexibility to cover individual items or collections
  • Cover for watches worn daily or stored securely

Why choose specialist insurance for A. Lange & Söhne watches?

If you regularly wear your watch or take it abroad, it’s important to know that standard home insurance likely won’t fully cover it, because they may place limits on valuable items or restrict cover outside the home.

Particularly when it comes to high-value watches, how your watch is used is important. Stanhope can help you to arrange cover that reflects how you wear your A. Lange & Söhne watch or whether it forms part of a growing collection.

When it comes to models like the Saxonia Thin, Saxonia Moon Phase and limited-edition pieces, you also have to factor in that they tend to attract attention – particularly when worn regularly or travelling.

A standard home insurance policy simply doesn’t offer the protection your watch requires, and may:

  • Have single-item limits
  • Only cover watches inside the home
  • Require personal possessions cover for use away from home
  • Restrict cover while travelling
  • Require high-value watches to be specified separately

That’s why, when it comes to A. Lange & Söhne watches, specialist watch insurance isn’t just useful – it’s essential. Plus, we can help shape the cover around the value of your watch and how often you wear it, and whether it’s part of a collection.

You may also have other high-value assets that need protecting, like jewellery or art. At Stanhope, we can take a holistic approach to cover, combining your watch insurance with high-value home insurance to help protect what matters under one joined-up arrangement.

Insure your A. Lange & Söhne watch with Stanhope

Whether you wear your A. Lange & Söhne every day or regularly take it abroad, your policy should fit your needs and your lifestyle.

Stanhope can help you compare the options and arrange cover with confidence, either for a single watch or a collection.

Watch insurance FAQs

  • Do you insure A. Lange & Söhne watch collections?

    We can certainly help to arrange insurance for A. Lange & Söhne watches, whether it’s a modern, limited or mixed luxury watch collection.

    Standalone collection cover can sometimes be more limited in the market, particularly for ultra-high-value collections. If you own several watches, it’s worth speaking with an advisor.

    At Stanhope, we can talk you through the available options and whether standalone watch cover or a high-value home insurance solution is more suitable.

  • Are there any restrictions on cover for A. Lange & Söhne watches?

    Yes, restrictions and exclusions can apply. Loss, theft and accidental damage may be covered worldwide, depending on the policy and insurer terms.

    Common exclusions can include:

    • Cosmetic damage
    • Wear and tear
    • Watches left in unattended bags
    • Mysterious disappearance

    You should always check the full policy wording before arranging cover.

  • Is insurance for A. Lange & Söhne watches worth it?

    If you own a A. Lange & Söhne watch, you know they can be expensive to repair or replace. Some owners also regularly wear theirs, which increases the chance of accidental damage, loss or theft.

    Particularly if you own an Saxonia Thin, Saxonia Automatic or Saxonia Moon Phase, specialist cover can give you the reassurance you need that your watch is protected, whether you’re at home or overseas.

  • What are the benefits of Stanhope offering multiple insurance solutions?

    Stanhope can help you compare different insurance solutions for your watch or wider collection, meaning you won’t have to approach each insurer separately.

    Other benefits you’d get from working with us include:

     

    • Compare multiple solutions quickly
    • Review different levels of cover
    • Explore pricing options from different insurers
    • Access flexible underwriting where available
    • Get support if you need to make a claim

    Stanhope can explain the options available and help you find cover that suits how you own, wear and store your watch.

I started working in the insurance industry in 2004. Four years later, I left to focus on theological studies, working as a youth worker and then as a ministry director in Seattle, USA. When returning to the UK, I had an opportunity to work for the late Andrew Marchington. I joined his firm as a sales advisor when it had around ten staff members. Within three years, I was Head of Ops with a staff team of over 30 people. After a chance encounter in 2019 with Rachel Living and Will Cooper, I co-started Stanhope to build a high-value home, luxury watch, and jewellery broker synonymous with trust. I love being with Donna, my wife, and four kids when not working, cramming in the odd row, or run when I can. I am fortunate to love what I do and consider it a blessing to grow the Stanhope brand.
