What is Watch Insurance?

Why do you need watch insurance?

According to the world’s largest watch database, the number of watches recorded as lost or stolen has tripled over the last year.

A watch is considered ‘valuable’ in a standard home insurance policy wording. A typical home policy will cover a watch for up to £10,000 inside the home but may not automatically cover an item away from the house. You will need to add personal possessions cover for this, for an additional premium.

Our watch policies can include*:

Watch Insurance FAQs

Do you insure watch collections?

Yes, at Stanhope we can provide you with insurance for a watch collection. Stand alone watch policies are a little difficult to come by due the current hard market. Speak to an advisor for more information.

Are there any restrictions on my watch insurance policy?

Most worst-case scenarios, such as (accidental) loss, damage and theft, can be covered anywhere in the world. However, there are some exclusions within the policy wording that you need to know. For example, you cannot make a claim if there is cosmetic damage (scratches and dents) or general wear and tear. If you leave your watch in an unattended bag, then it will not be covered. If your watch mysteriously disappears, this may not be covered either. We always recommend to check your policy for full terms, conditions and restrictions. 

Is watch insurance worth it?

Yes! Thieves often target watches in burglaries and muggings, as they are easy to steal and resell. If you have a valuable watch, you probably want to wear it most days of the week. If you dropped your watch and it stopped working, the accidental damage section of the policy could provide you with the cover you need to repair or replace the watch.
