Formal Introductions

Sophisticated gent’s watches that, like you, exude character and gravitas.

- Alvin Wong

WATCHMAKERS WHO HAVE been toiling long enough at their craft will tell you that the simplest watches are hardest to make. And you’d believe them. After all, how much more can one do with a ‘standard’ round-cased watch designed to conform to the standards and rigours of corporate workwear? Well, quite a lot, say the same watchmakers. Brimming with stateliness, finesse and technical refinement, these superlative dress watches are a testament to Leonardo da Vinci’s observation that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.
