Founder's story
My story with watches began in 2019.
That year, my mother gave me a Tudor 1926. It may not be the most expensive watch I have ever owned, but it has always been the one I treasure most.
Whenever I see it, what comes to mind is not the price, but the intention behind my mother’s gift. From that moment, I understood that what makes a watch truly captivating is not only the movement, craftsmanship and brand, but its ability to hold emotion, memory, and a meaningful moment in life.
At first, like many people, I was drawn to the appearance of watches.
But the more I encountered them, the more I wanted to understand the stories behind them: how brands moved through different eras, why designs were born, how movements work, and why a watch can still fascinate after years have passed.
Gradually, a watch was no longer just an object to me, but a culture — and a discipline worth studying over a long time.
In 2023, I began formal watch courses, learning to assemble watches and working with movements and parts by hand.
Afterwards, I studied at the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie Academy, and completed the Christie's Education watch course, the Angelic second-hand luxury authentication course, and further watch and luxury authentication training.
In 2025, I obtained the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie Academy’s highest-level Expert qualification, then a nationally certified luxury watch appraiser credential, becoming the first watch dealer in Hong Kong to hold both professional qualifications at the same time.
In 2023, I founded the YouTube Channel “Take Your Time”, sharing brand stories, collecting notes, market observations, authenticity checks, and real buying experiences with fellow watch lovers.
To date, I have filmed more than three hundred episodes, handled more than five hundred watches, and worked with collector-level pieces including F.P. Journe, Cartier Crash and De Bethune.
Over the years, I have gradually built a worldwide watch network. What I value most has never been how much stock I can reach, but whether the source is reliable, the information is transparent, and whether clients truly understand the watch they choose.
I hope to be more than a watch dealer — a trusted watch advisor.
The most expensive or most popular watch is not necessarily the one that suits you best. What truly matters is finding a watch that can accompany you, represent you, and years later still remind you why you chose it.
“Take Your Time” is not only a brand name — it is also an attitude.
Get to know watches slowly. Get to know yourself slowly.
Because I have always believed that what is most precious in a watch is never time itself, but the stories time leaves behind.
