Just decided to hop in to look at watches, and Mr Raymond Ang is such a delight to chat with. Not pushy, very knowledgeable, very engaging.
It was such a joy to chit chat with him as well. Very friendly SA, small talks about your hobbies, life, passion, about watches (he’s very enthu about it as well). Definitely fun talking to him.
Although, there isn’t any watches on sale atm, I really hope this can be a stepping stone to building a relationship together! If you are looking at watches or need a friendly SA, Mr Raymond is the one to go to.

It was our first visit to The Hour Glass at Takashimaya, and Ivan made both my husband and me felt like longtime customers. He was welcoming, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about watches — sharing fascinating insights about the history and movements of different timepieces.
I had the chance to try on the Land-Dweller 36 in Oystersteel and managed to register my interest in other models.
Ivan’s professionalism and genuine passion for horology made our visit truly enjoyable. Highly recommend speaking to him (Ivan Stepanov) if you’re visiting THG at Takashimaya!
Just a little more on Ivan, he is Russian, looks Chinese and speaks like an Indonesian….drop by if you’re nearby The Hour Glass at Takashimaya and witness him together with the beautiful timepieces.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great watch-buying experience.

I had a great experience at The Hour Glass while trying to understand more about a Rolex timepiece.
My watch specialist, Woody Hu, was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping me make an informed decision. He took the time to explain the details clearly and made the whole visit enjoyable.
Highly recommend speaking with Woody if you’re exploring boutique watches!
