TH March, but its more expensive than adding it to a home owners policy. I like having my watches on a separate policy.
Be aware of some of the ridiculous restrictions when shopping around. Read the fine print. The UK insurance companies are notorious for exclusions ... has to be in a safe or on your wrist or no cover is a big one. Also, any people you let into your house and there is a loss no cover (maids, builders, nanny etc).

As above also be aware some policy are void if you have watches over there limit, so you can’t have your house contents insured with them and have separate insurance for your watch with the like is TH March.
Hiscox seem popular for contents plus watch’s but I prefer Lark over them. https://www.larkinsurance.co.uk/products/household To add like Tyler has stated most of the mass Uk insurance companies have loads of stipulations but with the like of Lark and to a degree Hiscox you can tailor your cover. Such as I could of had one or two watches insured out of the safe at anyone time, and I could have the cover as ‘on my wirst or in the safe’ or ‘one out of the safe and rest in the safe’ ‘two out of the safe and rest in the safe’ etc |

When you look at Hiscox "warranties" or restrictions, then their cover doesn't look so good. I wanted to be able to wear my PP's anywhere at anytime and if I got drunk one night and didn't put them immediately into a safe I wanted to make sure that I was still covered.
ZurichPC do an expensive but full-coverage home contents policy which means you really don't need to worry. I hate paying them every year but I don't worry about wearing my watch in literally any circumstances. |

Definitely go with adding to your household.
You should pay less than 1% of insured value per annum. Clause that insurance is only valid whilst on wrist or in safe will apply to high value items (over £100k). Finally consider insuring for market replacement value - for example a 5711/1A won’t be readily available at new price but if getting a replacement in a reasonable time frame is important you can insure for BNIB grey market price. |

I guess that’s where a broker earns their margin. Less than 1% of value from the US company?

I like having a separate policy from my homeowner’s coverage. I insure mine through Lloyd’s of London.

I was with Hiscox, but when I got my 5980 they cancelled my cover. Currently with Direct Line. Getting decent cover at a reasonable cost is a bit of a barrier to building a Patek collection in my experience.
