Introduction

Insurance is a great way to protect your investments. Whether it’s a classic watch or an antique, insurance can ensure that you get what you paid for back after theft or damage occurs. We'll be looking at which types of insurance are available and how they differ from each other. Then we'll discuss what kind of coverage will work best for your luxury watch collection. 

Types of Insurance: 

There are two main types of insurance to consider when insuring a luxury watch: 

• Agreed Value Coverage: This is usually the best option for people who want to be able to claim the full value of their watch if it gets damaged or stolen. With this type of policy, you will only have access to any money that is left over after you have paid off your entire debt with the insurance company. You will also need to pay an annual fee for this type of policy.
• Replacement Cost Coverage: This is similar in nature to the above option but has different rules surrounding how you can use your policy’s benefits. In this case, you can get 100% reimbursement for whatever was originally paid for the item (i.e., if your Rolex cost $10,000 and was stolen then replaced with another one at full retail price). The catch? Replacement cost coverage doesn't cover theft; only physical damage like fire or water damage would be covered under such a plan.

Agreed value maintains the worth of your watch irrespective of depreciation or theft. When you make a claim, you will receive the amount it was insured for, generally the purchase price. One point to note when filing a claim is that it must be agreed upon by the insurer and you before payment is made. This is a safe choice for luxury watches because they retain their value over time.

If you want to keep your luxury watch in good condition and want it insured, there are two types of insurance you can choose from. The first is replacement coverage, which will cover the cost of replacing your watch with a new one. You can also opt for agreed value insurance, where the insurer pays for the same amount that was paid for when purchased.

Agreed value maintains the worth of your watch irrespective of depreciation or theft. When you make a claim, you will receive the amount it was insured for, generally the purchase price. One point to note when filing a claim is that it must be agreed upon by the insurer and you before payment is made. This is a safe choice for luxury watches because they retain their value over time (unlike cars which depreciate rapidly).

The replacement coverage plan just replaces the watch with another of equal specifications and value.

If your watch loses value over time, the replacement coverage plan just replaces the watch with another of equal specifications and value. This plan makes sense if your watch loses value over time as you can get an equivalent model regardless of depreciation. However, this plan may not be suitable if parts of your watch are obsolete or difficult to find.
