Horological Meandering

I see a totally different H now ! Thoughts ? Best, Mahesh ...  

but I like the insurance initiative! Sounds like a classic case of good old entrepreneurship (granted they really do a good job providing good insurance that isn't complicated to buy).

If you can't trust them, not sure who you can trust...😉

If it is so, Chubb would need H ?!

And they may already insure jewelry and watch stores. Hodinkee will merely be a "broker" of sorts that just brings them more business.

My issue is not with them identifying what appears to be one of the preferred insurers, it’s more why would I give them (Hodinkee) this time of information about me. It’s a great play by H, it will I assume allow them to use this information for other pur... 

Rather than just handing over the customer to Chubb and getting a cut from that. I know it's quite possible, but...?

esp. after the 8 day travel desk timepiece - i'm unable to trust their credibility / ethics !

until the first customers file claims.

It's easy to sign-up, it's easy to give them your money.... but how easy is it to get money from them should you need to file a claim?

It is through Chubb, so filing a claim and receiving your money should be relatively painless... but who knows...

And most companys have no idea what they are talking about actually.

Now I’ve no doubt it might be a great initiative, the legality in proving loss isn’t going to be simple I suppose.

Think it is a smart way to enter a ,,new,, market now our hobby is getting more and more attention from criminals .

IMO : This needs to be dealt by an established renown insurance company.

Now it took a different direction altogether...I didn’t see it coming !

In the Mid 2000 I worked on a semilar project. This approach here is in my opinion unadapted and limited. To present it under H is also very wrong unless H as certified funds guaranteed to the level of assets covered. Again to me this looks like at best a... 

How many people are you willing to provide with your personal, data, location and photos of your watches?

Silicon Valley companies get hacked all the time. And they're the best. What hopes do we have for Hodinkee?

These guys are really smart to make money...I meant it’s a company that needs revenue and income to pay for their employees and contents. If you are the parent of the owners, you’ll be proud how quick witted your kid is. If you like this idea, go give it ... 

The post ask for thoughts....so I gave mine

I could be a customer if the service was available in France too. Hodinkee is gonna have a huge data base about you and your collection.

meaning...i need to trust H will my info + their ethics it was tested when they write reviews to brands that they sell *esp. when the review miss neutrality !! with the 8 day travel desk timepiece my doubt is much confirmed... again...as a business person... 

No message body

Chubb is a well-known insurer, so Hodinkee is certainly working with an established carrier. What Hodinkee appears to be doing here is no different than what hundreds of professional associations do routinely -- namely, offering their membership insurance... 

I like the idea of adding and/or removing watches from a policy via an app. Very easy, very convenient. But at what cost? I just did a quick check on the math based on their example and their average is about $18 per $1,000 per year. My agent gave me quot... 

Yes, Chubb is the place to go, but coverage “passed through” Middleman H in NYC, no way. Cazalea

Will be be able to pay with a Credit thanks to Hodinbank? Will your watch be revised by Hodinex? Will we eat at Hodinald and travel with Hodinair? Hmmm....

Are you changing sides ? you are aiming for the taller seat on the platform ;-) Of course this is to be dealt much differently.

Hodinkee is never impartial.
