These include an auctioneer with expertise in horology, a watchmaker from the relevant brand, or an expert whose profession and working hours are entirely devoted to this task. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When assessing value, several factors must be taken into consideration: the history of the brand or the watch itself, its technical specifications, the reputation of the watchmaker, or the desirability of the model\u2026<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the key elements of a certificate of expertise?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the aforementioned factors pertaining to &#8216;market value&#8217; require a general understanding of the market and the world of watchmaking. However, other, far more complex factors will make the difference. These factors can also influence a watch&#8217;s value.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, it is the authenticity of the watch \u2013 and therefore of every single component it comprises \u2013 that must be certified. As such, many watches may be only partially authentic. A single counterfeit or non-genuine part can cause its value to plummet.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a thorough understanding of the world of watchmaking, combined with experience in handling timepieces on a daily basis, that will enable us to provide the most accurate valuation of your watch. Consequently, consulting a certified expert will lend greater credibility to the valuation. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A certificate for the insurance or sale of a watch<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When passing on an heirloom, a watch collection, a rare piece or a particularly cherished item, the process of authentication and valuation is important. The expert&#8217;s report is therefore an essential reference document that will help to ensure the continued protection of your rights.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our dedicated service will guide you through the insurance valuation process to ensure that every piece in your watch collection is valued accurately and to its full potential.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"&lt;!--[CDATA[\/contact]]--&gt;\">Request a certificate of expert assessment<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The valuation report, prepared by a certified valuer, will enable you to assert all your rights regarding your watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1717,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[70,68,69],"class_list":["post-1777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guerin-expertises","tag-counterfeit-watch","tag-watch-appraisal","tag-watch-insurance"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1777"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1778,"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1777\/revisions\/1778"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/guerin-expertise.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
