Situated along a corridor alongside major luxury watch brands, the store reflects Grand Seiko&#8217;s ambitions in positioning itself alongside establishment brands. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The inaugural store run by Grand Seiko&#8217;s recently-established Asian arm, it becomes the new platform for enthusiasts to experience the brand’s timepieces, including its top-of-the-line complications. It&#8217;s the</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> first milestone for Grand Seiko Asia-Pacific, the joint venture set up last year with its longtime retailer in the region, Thong Sia Watch Co. Ltd. </span></p>
<p>Akio Naito, Chairman of Grand Seiko Asia-Pacific and President of the Seiko Watch Corporation, explained the choice of the city state for its first boutique in the region: &#8220;Singapore is home to some of the most knowledgeable and passionate luxury watch enthusiasts in the world, and we are excited to provide them with a more direct interaction with the brand&#8230;”</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keeping in line with the brand’s philosophy, &#8220;The Nature of Time&#8221;, the boutique&#8217;s interior is modern while sticking to traditional materials and details. The store sports a clean, modern design with warm wood for the floor and cabinets, retaining the subtle, Japanese refinement that the brand is known for. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The boutique is also the place for clients and enthusiasts to learn more about the brand. In particular, it allows them to experience up-close some of the rare timepieces in the brand’s lineup, including the </span><a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2022/10/grand-seiko-kodo-constant-force-tourbillon-kodo-slgt003-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon SLGT003</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that was awarded the Chronometry Prize at last year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG).</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />

It was founded in 1972 as a single store but has grown into a regional giant with stores across Southeast Asia as well as outposts in Taiwan and Australia.</p>
<p>Cortina marked its 50th anniversary this year with a slew of limited editions that reflect its importance, including <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2022/03/patek-philippe-calatrava-5057g-cortina-watch-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 5057</a> made specifically for it. Though publicly listed, the company remains controlled by the founding Lim family, with the third generation having recently joined the business. A crucial member of management is<strong> Jeremy Lim</strong>, the younger son of Cortina founder Anthony Lim. Jeremy helms the business alongside his siblings Raymond and Sharon.</p>
<p>I spoke with Jeremy recently to uncover the factors behind the longevity and success of Cortina.</p>

<hr />
<p><strong>SJX:</strong> When Cortina was founded 50 years ago by your father, it was one of many watch stores in Singapore. But now Cortina is one of the few left, in fact it’s one of the biggest in the region. What is the secret to the longevity and success?</p>
<p><strong>Jeremy Lim (JL):</strong> We were lucky that we had a lot of help from the family when my dad started the business with my mom. [My brother] Raymond started early in the business, then my sister got interested in the business as well, and subsequently I was reeled in.</p>
<p>The old school method of family business was just one or two shops so the founder can keep his eye on them. But with our extended family it allowed us to grow in the region. We have an aunt that runs the business in Hong Kong and initially we also had an uncle in Malaysia. And we were able to build in places like Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia with our local partners there.</p>
<p>Then we brought in professionals to run the business after we went public [in 2002]. This transition was very, very important. If the transition did not happen, I would say we probably be stuck with a few stores.</p>
<p><strong>SJX:</strong> But it wasn’t all smooth sailing for 50 years. Many of the retailers that were once big names are no longer around.</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> Like all businesses we had our ups and downs. There&#8217;s no single secret that makes things work. We were lucky the family had a passion for the business, whereas it might have been that the next generation at other retailers lost touch with the watch business.</p>

<p><strong>SJX:</strong> Family is clearly central to your business. And it seems like the case for many important players across the industry. Many big retailers are family-owned and also some of the most important watch brands like Patek Philippe.</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> Exactly, Wempe, Bucherer, Seddiqi…</p>
<p><strong>SJX:</strong> In fact, Watches of Switzerland is public and owned by institutions but it is the exception rather than the norm.</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> This business is very much about personal relationships. When you have the family [that owns a watch brand] in town, they get a lot of attention from us and we can do business. They can speak for the brand without having to go through levels of management. The working relationship is easy; they keep their word when they say yes.</p>
<p>We also deal with professional managers, but over the decades as we work with certain brands or groups of brands, it seems like every three years they change the managing director and every 20 years they change the CEO. When that happens, we don&#8217;t know the next person is going to continue on certain things that we agreed upon [with his or her predecessor].</p>
<div id="attachment_146335" style="width: 1610px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-146335" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-146335 size-full" src="https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-jeremy-lim-portrait.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="1067" srcset="https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-jeremy-lim-portrait.jpg 1600w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-jeremy-lim-portrait-300x200.jpg 300w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-jeremy-lim-portrait-768x512.jpg 768w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-jeremy-lim-portrait-600x400.jpg 600w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-jeremy-lim-portrait-1536x1024.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /><p id="caption-attachment-146335" class="wp-caption-text">Jeremy Lim at the Patek Philippe boutique in ION Orchard operated by Cortina Watch. Image &#8211; Cortina Watch</p></div>
<p><strong>SJX:</strong> So you’re saying is it&#8217;s easier to build a long-term relationship with a fellow family-owned business because both of you are in for the long haul?</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> Exactly. It’s why the working relationship with, for example, Chopard or Patek Philippe is fantastic. When we have a problem, we drop each other an email or call, then we try to find the middle ground. Decisions will be made, and they&#8217;ll be on it. It is not necessarily easier, but at least we know that there is a long-term perspective in terms of what we do. And I think it&#8217;s just mutual respect [for each other as family-owned companies].</p>
<p>For example, [a major, family-owned brand] decided that they needed to reduce their retail network so they closed one of our points-of-sale. It was a big blow but there was respect in terms of how it was done. We were given a year&#8217;s advance notice.</p>
<p>And it so happened that the closure was scheduled for March 2020 and the pandemic happened &#8211; lockdown and everything ceased. So I made a call to the brand and asked for an extension so we had time to pivot. They were generous enough to say yes. That made sure our people still had their jobs in the midst of the pandemic. Not all brands do it this way.</p>
<div id="attachment_146327" style="width: 1610px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-146327" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-146327 size-full" src="https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-Karl-Friedrich-Christine-Scheufele-Anthony-Lim.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="1067" srcset="https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-Karl-Friedrich-Christine-Scheufele-Anthony-Lim.jpg 1600w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-Karl-Friedrich-Christine-Scheufele-Anthony-Lim-300x200.jpg 300w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-Karl-Friedrich-Christine-Scheufele-Anthony-Lim-768x512.jpg 768w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-Karl-Friedrich-Christine-Scheufele-Anthony-Lim-600x400.jpg 600w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/cortina-Karl-Friedrich-Christine-Scheufele-Anthony-Lim-1536x1024.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /><p id="caption-attachment-146327" class="wp-caption-text">Karl-Friedrich and Christine Scheufele of Chopard with Mr and Mrs Anthony Lim. Image &#8211; Cortina Watch</p></div>
<p><strong>SJX:</strong> How are you helping the next generation of the Lim family develop such relationships with the brands?</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> We try to be inclusive with the next generation. For example, when we had lunch recently with [Karl-Friedrich] Scheufele and dinner with [Thierry] Stern, we included them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m open to letting the next generation coming in to learn how I do things because I was given this chance when I joined. My brother gave me a lot of opportunities to prove myself. And my parents also give us a lot of chances, even when we made bad decisions.</p>
<p>[The next generation] needs to be curious about what we do, how we do it, and how we make decisions. Decisions are not always correct, but if it was a bad decision then you make sure it was a calculated risk.</p>
<p>I was given the opportunity, and I don&#8217;t see why I should not be giving that opportunity to the next generation. The more they get involved, the quicker I can I can retire. [laughs]</p>

<p><strong>SJX:</strong> Earlier you mentioned the ups and downs of the business. A recession seems to be on the cards after many good years. Maybe because of the goods years, brands have been closing retailers and opening more of their own stores. What are your thoughts about these happenings that seem to happen with every economic cycle?</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> We always try to work with as many brands as possible. Because one day, we know some brands will close us and run their own boutiques &#8211; we have gone through that before. Or even now there are some plans by some groups that want to do their multi-brand boutiques.</p>
<p>We are ready for the challenge, because we have embraced a lot of brands. Sometimes our partners say we have too many brands in the store. But it&#8217;s a defence mechanism because it only means that we are not reliant on a group of brands or one or two brands. If a brand decides to go it alone, we can replace them. And that is also <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2020/11/singapore-cortina-watch-sincere.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">what we are doing with Sincere</a>; it’s a platform to embrace the independent brands.</p>
<p><strong>SJX:</strong> This is basically diversification…</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> Yes, diversify, but not outside of the watch industry. We are still very much into watches, but we don&#8217;t want to be reliant on one single or group.</p>
<p><strong>SJX:</strong> Next year might not be good for industries outside of watchmaking either&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> We have had a good run. I think some in our business have forgotten what a recession is. But we should be fine because the demand I see demand [on the primary market] is still strong and it&#8217;s not just going to be gone overnight. As long as the industry doesn’t increase production like crazy, the industry should hold up quite well.</p>

<p><strong>SJX:</strong> Last question. The big European retailers like Watches of Switzerland and Bucherer, have been expanding out of their traditional markets in the last few years.  Do you have plans to continue expanding, even outside of your traditional markets?</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> The question is, what is our traditional market? Southeast Asia? We are already in Taiwan and Australia. So we are already a bit out of our comfort zone.</p>
<p>We go where we see opportunity. Vietnam is important. The emergence of Cambodia gives it potential as well. And there&#8217;s still a lot of room to move in Indonesia, where we are already present. And then of course with Franck Muller, Australia is something we can grow.</p>
<p>And what about China? Is there a dominant player in watch retail? Not really. A lot of the important locations are operated by the brands themselves. So China may be a possibility but it’s not something we are thinking about yet.</p>
<p>Expansion is also about control. Are we able to run a company, say, in the United States? I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;d probably say no at this point. For one, the time zone difference is huge.</p>
<p><strong>SJX:</strong> Is this something you&#8217;ll send the next generation to establish?</p>
<p><strong>JL:</strong> Maybe it’s too early for them to venture out because it&#8217;s been tough for them to gain international experience with the pandemic. They&#8217;ve been with the company for three or four years, but two years were wasted because nobody could travel. Hopefully they’ll do that in the next few years. The quicker they take over from me, the more I can play golf. [laughs]</p>

Happening at XM Studio, a workshop best known for its hand-made comic figurines, the exhibition encompasses 21 watch brands and a leather goods maker.</p>
<p>The exhibition was the brainchild of local retailer Red Army Watches (RAW) and Singapore-based micro brand Feynman Timekeepers. Exhibiting brands include Havaan Tuvali, Vario, and Atelier Wen.</p>

<p>A city state that boasts a high density of high-end watch collectors, Singapore also has a thriving community of enthusiasts who cherish fun and inexpensive timepieces. In fact, several micro brands have emerged from Singapore, such as Feynman and Zelos.</p>
<p>The appreciation of micro brands has been developed in large part by RAW, long a proponent of affordable watchmaking. With stores in Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei, RAW carries a range of micro brands, including several that are showing at<em> Spring Sprang Sprung</em>. It was RAW founder Sugiharto Kusumadi and Yong Keong Lim, the founder of Feymann, who provided the impetus for the exhibition.</p>

<h3 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Initial thoughts</strong></h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The PAM01501 is a metallic olive green &#8211; certainly a familiar colour. But keep in mind Panerai was one of the first brand to <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2017/09/introducing-the-panerai-green-dial-luminor-and-radiomir-boutique-editions.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">utilise green as a dial colour</a>, most famously for the <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2011/10/the-story-behind-the-panerai-bronzo.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Submersible Bronzo</a> a decade ago.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This happened well before the current fad for green dials, so Panerai is sticking to historical precedent rather than jumping on the bandwagon. In fact, the green dial and rose gold case brings to mind the original Bronzo, which had a similar palette (before it developed a patina).</p>
<p>But the crucial point is that the PAM01501 distinguishes itself by being a unique piece, and one for a good cause no less.</p>

<h3>For the kids</h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Founded in 2004, Kidz Horizon Appeal (KHA) is a Singapore charity that supports children with chronic diseases but whose families lack the means to pay for treatment. The funds raised by KHA go to a fund maintained by the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, a medical institution that focuses on treating mothers and children.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">KHA has raised 14 million Singapore dollars (or about US$9.85 million) to date, with a good portion of the money coming from unique watches sold at its annual gala dinners. The watches have included a <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2013/07/news-vacheron-constantin-chronometre-royal-1907-kidz-horizon-unique-piece-with-blue-grand-feu-enamel-dial-for-charity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">unique Vacheron Constantin Chronometre Royal with a blue enamel dial</a> and a one-off <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2012/08/hands-on-with-the-one-of-a-kind-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-skeleton-for-the-kidz-horizon-charity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton in titanium with a Cermet bezel</a>.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s Panerai comes courtesy of a Singapore businessman who is an avid Panerai collector. He commissioned a one-off Panerai and then donated it to KHA for its charity auction. In fact, the Panerai is merely the latest watch he has contributed to the charity. In years past he has donated watches by Roger Dubuis, Franck Muller, and Hublot.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The PAM01501 is based on the standard 44 mm Luminor Marina Automatic, but made unique by its combination of case material and dial colour.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The dial is a metallic olive green with a radially-brushed finish that&#8217;s similar to that found in the <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2021/02/panerai-platinumtech-luminor-marina-pam01116.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">limited-edition platinum versio</a>n of the Luminor Marina Automatic. While the case is made of Goldtech, the brand’s proprietary 18k red gold alloy with a higher-than-average copper content to give it a redder hue, while also incorporating a dash of platinum to render it resistant to fading.</p>

<h3>Initial thoughts</h3>
<p>The base-model Carrera powered by the in-house Heuer 02 calibre is an appealing watch to begin with, especially in steel where it&#8217;s an affordable proposition with a historical design. But it is primarily a practical, everyday watch, which is arguably what it should be given its history as a <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2022/10/tag-heuer-carrera-porsche-911-rs-27-chronograph.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">motorsports chronograph</a>. The Cortina edition, however, is the opposite. It is pricey, very much so in fact, but it is special.</p>
<p>Green is the fashionable colour in watchmaking now, so you might be forgiven for feeling weary when faced with yet another dial in the colour. But green dials certainly capture the zeitgeist of today, and perhaps personify the &#8220;hype&#8221; watch culture exemplified by the <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2021/04/patek-philippe-nautilus-5711-green.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">famous olive-dial sports watch</a>. The new Carrera, in contrast, runs counter to that. It is definitely green, but the natural stone dial means it is a intrinsically valuable shade of green with a tangible quality.</p>
<div id="attachment_143228" style="width: 1610px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-143228" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-143228 size-full" src="https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Tag-Heuer-Carrera-Chronograph-Maw-Sit-Sit-Cortina-3.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="1068" srcset="https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Tag-Heuer-Carrera-Chronograph-Maw-Sit-Sit-Cortina-3.jpg 1600w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Tag-Heuer-Carrera-Chronograph-Maw-Sit-Sit-Cortina-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Tag-Heuer-Carrera-Chronograph-Maw-Sit-Sit-Cortina-3-768x513.jpg 768w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Tag-Heuer-Carrera-Chronograph-Maw-Sit-Sit-Cortina-3-600x401.jpg 600w, https://watchesbysjx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Tag-Heuer-Carrera-Chronograph-Maw-Sit-Sit-Cortina-3-1536x1025.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /><p id="caption-attachment-143228" class="wp-caption-text">The integrated, vertical-clutch chronograph movement with column wheel that was developed in house</p></div>
<p>The execution combining yellow gold and the green gemstone is spot on, instantly setting it apart from the typical TAG Heuer chronograph and most other sports chronographs in fact. Granted, all that comes at a price of several multiples of the steel version, which will limit its appeal to a tiny number of enthusiasts.</p>
<p>But the cost is arguably justified by the gold case and more importantly, the dial material. The rarity of the material, as well as the watch itself – only 10 will be made – will speak to a niche of TAG Heuer collectors who want something different.</p>
<h3>Maw sit sit</h3>
<p>The dial is made of maw sit sit, a stone made up of several minerals, including jadeite with high chromium content, which gives it the characteristic dark green colour. And its black veining gives the material a richly textured appearance.</p>
<p>Often confused with jade, maw sit sit is in fact an entirely different species. Though more muted in colour than the greenest of jade, maw sit sit  is actually more rare. It&#8217;s a found only in northern Myanmar and gets its name from the village where it was first discovered, Maw Sit Sit near the base of the Himalayas.</p>

<p>While the highlight of the Carrera is the gemstone dial, the rest of the dial is equally fancy. All the hands as well as the hour markers are in 18k yellow gold, while all of the markings on the dial are in gold-powder print. And the two registers for the chronograph are in black, making this a &#8220;panda&#8221; dial of sorts.</p>

<p>The centrepiece of the exhibition is the all-ceramic line of Pilot&#8217;s Watches named after the US Navy&#8217;s fight jet academy, Top Gun. Historically available only in black, the Top Gun collection has more recently become a platform for IWC to roll out a range of coloured ceramics.</p>

<p>Naturally the show includes the year&#8217;s new launches, namely the Top Gun chronographs in <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2022/04/iwc-pilots-chronograph-top-gun-green-white-ceramic.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">forest green or white ceramic</a>. Earlier models such as the Miramar with its sand-coloured ceramic case are also on show, along with the quintessential all-black version.</p>

<p>Notably, the exhibition also includes 15 military-issue watches, each bearing a unit insignia on the dial, in perhaps its most intriguing section. Rarely seen since they are only available to members of the individual air force and navy units, such watches reflect the fact that the Schaffhausen watchmaker is the sole official supplier of watches to the US Navy and Marine Corps. As a result, IWC has created watches for some 350 squadrons, including the Navy Strike Fighter Squadrons VFA-102 &#8220;Diamondbacks&#8221; and VFA-27 &#8220;Royal Maces&#8221;.</p>

<p>Open to the public with free admission, the exhibition is an all-encompassing showcase of the brand&#8217;s watchmaking split into three sections, starting with its historical timepieces and culminating in its modern-day grand complications like the Tour de l’lle.</p>
<p>The first section, <em>Our Heritage: A Legacy as Precious as Time</em>, presents a selection of the brand&#8217;s notable timepieces from its earliest years &#8211; the oldest watch on show is exactly 200 years old &#8211; continuing into the present day with the landmark Tour de l’lle launched in 2005 to mark the brand&#8217;s 250th anniversary, an impressive double-faced watch with 16 complications.</p>

<p>Following that comes <em>The Anatomy of Beauty</em> dedicated to the brand&#8217;s traditional and artisanal decorative techniques. Amongst the highlights is the <a href="https://watchesbysjx.com/2022/05/vacheron-constantin-metiers-dart-tribute-great-civilisations.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Métiers d&#8217;Art &#8220;Great Civilisations&#8221;</a>, a quartet of watches unveiled just earlier this year at the Louvre.</p>

<p>Finally <em>Science and Complications</em> explores the five most important complications for VC, namely the tourbillon, split-seconds chronograph, retrograde display, perpetual calendar, and minute repeater. The key exhibits in this section include an elegant split-seconds chronograph pocket watch from 1939 as well as the Mercator double-retrograde from the 1990s.</p>

<p>Amongst the watches on show are a few of the most important watches that will be sold this year, a few of which will undoubtedly set records when they go under the hammer.</p>

<p>But the exhibition is also about nostalgia and includes a &#8220;Watchmaker&#8217;s Studio&#8221; with soft lighting that showcases photos from the founders&#8217; childhood, which played a major role in shaping their avant-garde approach to watchmaking.</p>
