Watch Appraisals

Jewellery Appraisals for Insurance
Not just a watch—an heirloom !
High-end Swiss watches are far more than exceptional timepieces; they are highly coveted assets.
Thanks to intense collector demand, limited production runs and discontinued models routinely command substantial premiums on the secondary market.Icons from leading houses— Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Rolex, and Richard Mille—frequently hold or appreciate in value.
The Supply Shift: While pandemic-era factory halts sent secondary market prices to unprecedented heights well above MRRP, values remain highly elevated today.
The Current Market: Even as global production normalises, only a select few models have returned to catalogue pricing.
Because the luxury watch market moves so rapidly, we recommend having your timepieces professionally valued every 12 months to ensure your assets are fully protected.

Do you want to take your valuables to a shop?
You can go to:
- Some high-street jewellers
- Auction houses (for antiques/high-value pieces).
Common risks can happen before you even reach the jeweller:
- Jewellery can be dropped or lost in transit.
- Pickpocketing in crowded transport or shopping areas.
- Opportunistic theft if items are visible or known about.
- Risk increases if someone knows you’re carrying valuables.
- Some home insurance policies only cover theft from the home
- “Away from home” coverage may be limited or capped.
What if your jeweller is not a valuer and has to send it away?
- It may pass through multiple handlers or couriers/
- There is a small risk of loss, misdelivery, or damage.
*Reputable jewellers usually use insured, tracked specialist couriers, but risk is never zero.
- Valuations taking weeks instead of days or hours.
- Limited updates while the item is away.
- Difficulty retrieving the item quickly if plans change.
- You may be told about damage you weren’t aware of.
- Disagreements can arise over condition changes during handling.
The real risk is loss, inadequate insurance cover, and reduced control once the item leaves the premises. For high-value or sentimental jewellery, it’s reasonable to be cautious and insist on clear documentation and insurance terms before handing anything over.
