Lao Tzu - (5th century BC) Ancient Chinese Philosopher
We are the best in the SAV business because we continuously invest in our people, know-how & cutting-edge modern top of the line flagship Swiss / German made tools & equipment, testing & diagnostic instruments. Our set-up has always been in-line with major Swiss watch manufacturers' and sometimes even surpassing them.
Today, in our new purpose-built 5000 sq ft HUMIDITY, TEMPERATURE & DUST-controlled clean room standard workshop with secure waiting area, we have evolved into a fully capable workshop where every step of the watch service & repair process remains in-house. And we are building our high jewellery department in the same direction where every step & process will remain in-house. The investment in the current workshop stands at S$3 million and is expected to increase to more than S$4 million when all integrations are completed.
All Swiss manufacturers' After-sales Service Directors who have visited us agree and approve our service centre for their After-sales Service or SAV (SERVICE APRÈS-VENTE), as it is officially known in Switzerland.
Like our Singapore's airport, seaport & airline, we believe in being the best, and we achieved this by investing only in the best, & we will continue to do so, to stay on top.
Visit us personally to experience the best, world class SAV.
Visit us, we have a mini museum showcasing antique watchmaking tools, equipment and ancient testing instruments.
