The Hour Glass was established in 1979 with an aspiration to enrich lives with passion by endeavouring to advance the awareness, appreciation and culture of watch collecting.
Nearly five decades later, we’ve grown to over 70 boutiques in 15 cities, earning recognition as a leading specialist watch retailer globally. As we evolve, we remain committed to championing innovation and craftsmanship, delivering memorable experiences for enthusiasts and collectors.
Our journey has included strategic partnerships and acquisitions, notably acquiring Watches of Switzerland* in 2014, further refining our philosophy. This milestone enriched our retail approach, strengthening connections with brand partners and deepening our mission across the region.
“Advancing Watch Culture” is more than a slogan; it represents our dedication to upholding the aesthetic, technical and emotive aspects of watchmaking. Every watch tells a unique story of human innovation and conquest. Our mission here at The Hour Glass is to be the watch world’s leading cultural retail enterprise, relentlessly pursuing the advancement of watch culture.
