Established in 1979, The Hour Glass Limited has grown over the years to emerge as Asia’s leading specialist luxury watch retailer. The company’s success is based on its astute business strategy comprising strategic brand partnerships, marketing and merchandising management, efficient inventory processing and an executive management team with best practices.
The Hour Glass prides itself for its proven merchandising strategy. Its ability to identify and invest in the right mix of brands and products has paid off handsomely. In particular, the company’s move into the high grade technical segment has proven to be very successful.
Representing a stable of over 60 brands across 25 boutiques in nine cities throughout Asia Pacific, The Hour Glass is the most geographically diverse specialist luxury watch retailer in Asia.
The Hour Glass is Asia’s leading cultural retail enterprise, having pioneered the development and promotion of contemporary horological culture in this region. Through the launch of TEMPUS – The Great Watchscapade in 2004 and TEMPUS – The Temple of Time in 2007, The Hour Glass has succeeded in enhancing horological awareness in Asia, as well as raising the level of understanding and appreciation of specialist luxury timepieces.
The Hour Glass was named one of Singapore’s premier brands by International Enterprise Singapore at the Singapore Brand Awards in 2002. In 2006, The Hour Glass won the “Most Transparent Company Award” at the Securities Investors’ Associations Investors’ Choice Award, a prestigious award endorsed by the Singapore Stock Exchange, Standard & Poor’s, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Business Times and the Asian Corporate Governance Association.
