Insurance

[whoami]

Having purchased a few additional watches recently my insurance company is getting funny about storing everything in a safe.

I do have a safe but, to be honest, I'd rather store the watches in a nice winder than locked away out of sight.

Anyone had a similar problem or any suggestions as to which insurers might not insist on this?

Cheers

Who are you insured with? My insurance company insisted that we had an alarm but not a safe. We are with Hiscox.

Which watches have you recently acquired?

[whoami]

I'm with Hiscox too. They weren't happy with just an alarm. They will only insure the watches if they are in the safe, being worn, or carried by me.

In all other circumstances they are not covered.

Watches are Breguet Type XXI Transatlantic, Vacheron Constantin Malte Tonneau Chronograph and a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duetto for Mrs Whoami.

Anyone??

Surely someone else has some input?

I'm with More Than and no requirement for a safe.

tbh, whilst I have a nice winder I don't have it on display. Asking to have stuff nicked easily if I do get burgled.

Giving them a try now.

I'm with Budget.

My Breitling is insured for £2000 at no extra charge. My Chanel J12 is insured for £3000 at an extra premium of £45/year!!

No mention of safes even though I have one.

Thanks for all the suggestions. The broker ended up getting a great deal with Sterling Insurance. All risk, worldwide cover and all my watches covered with no requirement to use the safe.

Recommended.
