Stephan Kaiser Answers on the Asia InsurTech Podcast: Can Luxury Goods Insurance Go 100 % Digital?

Hermès has always stood in a category of its own — not just as a luxury brand, but as a symbol of craftsmanship, scarcity, and lasting value. And in a year culturally associated with strength, heritage, and forward movement, it feels especially fitting to revisit what makes Hermès such a powerful collectible category.

A proud Scot with over a decade in Asia’s luxury space—from Hermès to WatchBox (now 1916 Company)—Glenn channels his deep expertise into founding The Whisky Collective, a community helping collectors access and appreciate rare vintages and new names in the world of whisky.

Watches. They’re far more than just timekeepers. They’re wearable art; crafted masterpieces that blend heritage, engineering, and elegance. But more recently, they’ve been catching the eye of a different kind of connoisseur: the savvy investor.

Jules Pastor, founder of Hera and KoverNow’s first Handbag Ambassador, created the KoverNow500—an index of 500 top collector handbags based on 18 months of resale data. This simplifies valuation and insurance for users’ luxury collections.

KoverNow is proud to announce our participation in ITC Asia 2025, the most premier event for the insurance and insurtech ecosystem in Asia Pacific.
