New Chubb Collectors Newsletter.

The new Chubb Collectors newsletter was just sent out, see info and links in the blockquote below.  This edition covers timepieces and the Chinese, the collector car market and planning for disaster, which follows along the same lines as my post on disaster appraising and the article by Bob Goldberg, ASA which was on the P4A.com site (click HERE to read the post with links).

From the email notification for the Chubb Collector:

Horology and Diplomacy: How Time Pieces Helped Shape History
Timepieces have long been symbols of power and knowledge, messengers of culture, tokens of friendship and gages of peace.  This article explores the Chinese fascination with clocks and watch-making and the way the Chinese market influenced the early days of the European horological industry.

Reflections on the Collector Car Market
The used cars of the 1990s¯Datsuns, Alfa Romeo GTVs, early Porsche 911s and 914s¯have become collector cars, whereas the collector cars of earlier times¯‘50s Testarossas, Type 35 Bugattis, ’53 Eldorados¯have become treasured cultural artifacts.  Which cars will be tomorrow’s classics?  This article takes a look at the recent past and the near future in the collector car market.

When Disaster Strikes: Planning Ahead for Natural, Economic and Other Catastrophes
With the earthquake and tsunami that recently hit Japan still fresh in our minds, there is no better time to humbly consider how to prepare for disaster.  This article offers practical, common sense precautions on how to safeguard valuable possessions and, in the face of truly cataclysmic events, how to at least avoid severe impact to one’s economic situation.
