In addition to safely storing your watch and its documentation, insurance is another important part of safeguarding your collection, and, of course, Hodinkee Insurance is always here to help with this layer of protection. However, you don’t have to wait to make an insurance claim before you report your lost or stolen watch to The Watch Register. “The best chance of recovery happens in the first few days, before the watch can change hands, move locations, or be modified in any way,” Hills clarifies. “Our quickest recovery case was in a matter of hours,” she continues, “but if you’re just learning about The Watch Register, you can still submit your stolen watch—I think our oldest recovery case was 25 years old.”
For more information on The Watch Register, you can visit their website for additional details and to register your timepieces. Of course, for all your insurance needs, you can send us an email at [email protected]. In the meantime, stay tuned for part two exploring the Richemont group’s watch and jewelry database, Enquirus.
