We are the Lost and Stolen Watch Register, a dedicated register helping to protect and recover lost and stolen watches. Our team has been dealing in luxury watches and fine jewellery for over 25 years, and the register company, Lost and Stolen Watch and Jewellery Register Ltd, was formed in 2020. Our correspondence address is 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ.
Lost & Stolen
The Lost and Stolen Watch Register’s goal is to eliminate the sale of stolen watches.
The Lost and Stolen Watch Register hopes this can be achieved by members of the public and the watch industry reporting watches that have been lost and stolen to the Lost and Stolen Watch Register database.
The Lost and Stolen Watch Register will then bring any information regarding lost and stolen watches to the attention of watch dealers, jewellery businesses, pawnbrokers, buying centres, scrap gold dealers and the general public.
The Lost and Stolen Watch Register provides police forces and insurance companies with free access to our database worldwide.
Private Individuals
Private Individuals can do their due diligence checks when buying a watch by having it checked against the Lost and Stolen Watch Register database. They can also enquire as to whether the seller has verified that the watch they are advertising for sale has been checked against a watch database.
An individual looking to buy a watch can have confidence that checking the serial number of a pre-owned watch can reduce the risk of purchasing a lost or stolen watch.
In the event that a search of our database flags a lost or stolen watch, we will contact you immediately and request that you retain the watch. This is only relevant if you are in the watch & jewellery trade. You must not put yourself or staff members at any risk. The Lost and Stolen Watch Register will contact the police immediately and provide them with all relevant information.
If you have lost or had a watch stolen, registering it with the Lost and Stolen Watch Register will increase your chances of recovery.
If your company lends money against watches, by checking our database, you are reducing the risk of lending money on lost and stolen watches by doing your due diligence.
If you have experienced a theft, registering with the Lost and Stolen Watch Register gives you a chance that it may be flagged on the register in the future when it is bought or sold, providing you with an opportunity to recover it. The Lost and Stolen Watch Register can not guarantee that all lost or stolen watches have been reported to our company.
You can register your watch on our Lost and Stolen Watch Register for a fee.
The Lost and Stolen Watch Register cannot be held responsible for any loss caused by a watch that has been stolen or lost and has not been reported to us.
If we do not hold information about a searched watch at the time of the search, we are not liable for any financial loss.
Lost and Stolen Watch Register is registered with the ICO.
