What does watch insurance cover?
Loss
You left your watch somewhere—on a beach towel or in a public bathroom. It’s out there somewhere and you just can’t find it. Stay calm. It’s covered.
Theft
While it’s upsetting to think about, watch theft is a real and frightening threat. We protect you from financial loss in the event your watch is stolen, so you can replace your cherished timepiece and get back to your life.
Damage
From shattered crystals, crowns, bracelets, and stems to movement issues, you can’t always shield your watch from everyday life. Accidents will happen. We’ll cover that.
Disappearance
Watches can disappear in mysterious ways. But even during the times you can’t explain what happened to your piece, you’re still covered.
Natural Disasters
We understand natural disasters can strike at any moment, that’s why our coverage is made for real life. If a flood, tornado, hurricane or earthquake causes your jewelry to be lost or ruined, you're still covered.
Worldwide Travel
Wherever you go in the world, your watch insurance goes with you while traveling. Jet set with confidence, knowing that your watch is protected.
Inflation Protection**
Follow the market. We automatically adjust your coverage limit to try to help compensate for inflation and market fluctuations.
*Subject to availability. Coverage may not be available on all policies.
**Applied at policy renewal ONLY if the item’s appraisal is older than two years. Adjustment may not fully cover inflation and market fluctuations. Maintain a current appraisal from your jeweler for optimal protection.
What's Not Covered
We like to be upfront about what's covered, so you're not surprised. Our policies cover most common risks but don’t include war and military action, rodent and pest infestation, intentional actions or voluntary parting, deterioration, cleaning and inspections.

The importance of biannual watch appraisals
Watch prices and values can fluctuate greatly. Often, a watch's appraised value exceeds its MSRP. For instance, your $10,000 retail watch may be valued at $30,000 due to its rarity and availability. This emphasizes the importance of regularly appraising your watch every two years and insuring it for its current appraised value.

What kinds of watches should you insure?
Dedicated watch insurance is best for high-value timepieces and valuable watch collections to help minimize financial loss in case of theft, loss or damage.
Warranties typically don’t cover loss or damage
Watch insurance is not the same as a warranty. Your warranty normally gives you protection against manufacturing flaws or defects. A Jewelers Mutual watch insurance policy protects you against loss, theft, accidental damage and more.
Your homeowners policy may not be enough
Limited Coverage
Homeowners insurance typically only covers you up to $2,500 without a rider and may not cover mysterious loss or disappearance.
Rate Increases
Your watch claim could raise your homeowners policy rate and even lead to policy cancelations. Avoid these costs with Jewelers Mutual.
Is it worth it to insure my watch?
Watch insurance is worth it if...
✔ You wear your watch often or worry about wearing it
✔ You’d be devastated by its sentimental loss
✔ Your watch is valued at $1,500 or more
✔ You're unable to cover the cost to replace it
✔ Your watch has a design that could be easily damaged
✔ Your watch’s value increases over time
✔ You travel often or are planning to go on a trip
✔ You don't want to settle for a replacement of lesser quality than the original
More ways to protect your watch
Invest in a high-quality safe or watch box
Protect your watches with a robust watch box or secure safe. Store in a location shielded from sunlight, temperature, and humidity to prevent damage.
Maintain a consistent care and cleaning schedule
Clean your watches regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Refer to your manual or seek professional advice for a more comprehensive cleaning.
Give it a break
Rotate your watches to minimize wear and tear and extend their life, beauty, and precision.
Remove during high-impact activities
Avoid exposing your watch to unnecessary impacts or exposure to harsh elements.
Reappraise your watch at least once every 2 years
The value of watches can change over time due to factors like market trends, demand, and rarity. Update your appraisal to ensure you have an accurate assessment of its current worth.
