Hip-hop producer Timbaland is suing American Home Assurance Co. after the insurer reportedly denied reimbursement for a $1.8 million watch he believes was lost by his toddler.
Timbaland — aka Timothy Mosley — says he purchased an insurance policy from American Home Assurance in May 2010 to cover nearly $5 million in jewelry, according to a complaint last month in Florida's 11th Circuit Court. One of the items included a "limited edition (baguette) rainbow tourbillion watch," which was made by Jacob & Co. and included 294 special cut diamonds.
Mr. Mosley’s watch vanished in August 2010 after he set it on a nightstand at his home following a late-night recording session, according to his complaint. He and his wife testified that their daughter, who was 2 years old at the time, may have played with the watch while her father was sleeping and later discarded it.
The lawsuit does not say why Mr. Mosley’s insurance claim was allegedly denied by American Home Assurance, which is a unit of American International Group Inc.
Mr. Mosley is seeking $1.8 million in damages, interest dating back to the watch’s 2010 disappearance, and attorney fees.
It’s bad enough when two people riding together in a car can’t agree on the right volume for the radio, but what can be done when the car itself seems to have an opinion on the matter?
