New Hong Kong showroom for pre-owned Richard Mille watches
Richard Mille, working in collaboration with Value of Time (VOT) which is the only exclusive mono-brand boutique and official retailer for pre-owned Richard Mille watches in Asia, has launched its second pre-owned boutique.
Located at Five Pacific Place in Hong Kong's bustling Wan Chai district, this new showroom follows the success of VOT's first boutique in Singapore, which opened in August 2020 at Ngee Ann City, Orchard Road.
Under the pre-owned programme, customers can purchase pre-owned Richard Mille watches with complete confidence across nearly every continent, thanks to certified partners, including NX One in Japan, Westime in the United States, Ninety in Britain and Switzerland, and VOT in Singapore and in Hong Kong.
Spanning 123.5sq m (1,330sq ft), the new Hong Kong showroom has been designed by local architects to create a welcoming, modern environment.
Featuring curated art pieces and designer furniture, the space encourages meaningful conversations and the cultivation of lasting relationships.
The opening of VOT Hong Kong also provides the opportunity to inaugurate new 'Tourbillon Room', which offers clients an enhanced service in addition to the existing in-house service centre.
This mirrors the high level of quality and excellence that can be compared with the Richard Mille Manufacture in Les Breuleux, Switzerland.
Since its inception in 2001, Richard Mille has anticipated the growing demand for pre-owned luxury watches.
Through dedicated service centres, the brand has built a reputation for trust and quality, ensuring that every pre-owned watch meets the highest standards of authenticity, performance and aesthetics.
Each watch purchased from VOT undergoes rigorous evaluation, authentication and restoration by in-house watchmakers trained at the Richard Mille Manufacture.
These experts perform comprehensive servicing, repairs and refurbishments to deliver watches in impeccable condition.
Purchasing a pre-owned watch in one of the certified outlets means walking away with a 24-month International warranty, service booklet, brand-new strap and presentation box.

Singapore to sell gold bars seized from launderers
Non-cash assets: An illustration of gold bars and coins is seen in this file picture. Items seized in the S$3bil money-laundering scandal in SIngapore include 58 pieces of gold bars and 460 pieces of luxury goods. SINGAPORE: Singapore is set to sell an eye-watering variety of luxury items confiscated from money launderers who were convicted in the country's biggest laundering case. The local unit of consulting firm Deloitte has been appointed to manage the process of selling the non-cash assets, according to a statement by the police, who added they handed over more than 460 pieces of luxury goods and 58 pieces of gold bars to the firm this week. The items are among a broader haul of assets, including upscale real estate, cars and cash, seized in connection with the S$3bil scandal that broke two years ago. Deloitte will submit proposals for the sale of the assets in due course, the police said in response to a query from Bloomberg. These could include auctions and direct-selling, and will start when the government approves the proposals, it added. The gold bars, jade necklaces and over 10 luxury watches from brands like Richard Mille and Patek Philippe were displayed in a publicised handover. The event also featured dozens of luxury handbags including Hermes handbags and a limited-edition yellow pumpkin shaped Louis Vuitton bag created in collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Since the scandal, Singapore has moved to stem the fallout with authorities imposing financial penalties on several of the world's biggest banks for lapses related to the headlines-hogging case. Private bankers have also been charged for their alleged involvement in the scandal. The government has proposed to strip money launderers of directorships and probed law firms embroiled in the case. Authorities previously kickstarted the process to sell the seized assets – which amounted to about S$2.79bil at the end of 2024. While the bulk of it was in the form of cash and financial assets, numerous properties, vehicles and country club memberships have been sold. The proceeds are put in a de-facto bank account of the Singapore government. — Bloomberg

Singapore to sell Patek, Hermès and gold from launderers
SINGAPORE: Singapore is preparing to sell off a staggering haul of luxury items seized from convicted money launderers in the country's largest ever financial crime case, including Patek Philippe watches, Hermès handbags and gold bars. Deloitte's Singapore office has been tasked with overseeing the sale of the seized non-cash assets, CNA reported. Luxury handbags, watches and gold bars seized in the S$3 billion (RM9.9 billion) money laundering case were handed over to Deloitte by police for liquidation on Tuesday. The money laundering scandal, uncovered after sweeping police raids across Singapore in August 2023, traced back to millions of dollars funnelled from an illegal gambling syndicate operating in Southeast Asia. The offenders — nine men and one woman, all Chinese nationals with criminal records — have since been convicted, jailed, and deported. On Tuesday, the media were invited to witness the police handing over seized assets from the money laundering case to Deloitte at the Police Cantonment Complex. Over two days, officers from the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) transferred 466 luxury items and 58 gold bars. The gold bars weigh between 999g and 1kg each. The haul included around 50 designer handbags from Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Dior and Chanel — among them a Hermès Birkin 25 Togo bag valued at S$30,000 and a Kelly Alligator model worth up to S$120,000. At least 14 luxury watches were also handed over, including timepieces by Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Rolex and Audemars Piguet. A Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph was among them, estimated at S$120,000. A Richard Mille RM 67 was also seen — a watch valued at over S$400,000. Gold bars, jewellery cases containing earrings, bracelets and jade necklaces, a gold display plate, and a luxury belt were also on display. Police confirmed that Deloitte & Touche Financial Advisory Services has been appointed to manage and realise the non-cash assets. Remaining items will be handed over progressively. CNA observed Deloitte staff disassembling the handbags for cataloguing. Each part was photographed and packed into brown bags. Watches were inspected, logged, and stored in transparent bags, while the gold bars — valued at around S$139,000 each — were carefully bagged after inspection.
