Heirloom
Gallery (HG) is a humble watch corner founded
and managed by a watch lover, Shawn TAN for fellow
collectors. We operate from
SINGAPORE and like
Singapore, HG is a
modest yet promising watch corner with so much to offer.
A qualified Accountant and
Tax Consultant by training, Shawn is a Fellow of the Association
of Chartered Certified Accountants (FCCA / ACCA), United Kingdom and the Institute of
Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS).
Deep down, we are
collectors with undying passion for vintage watches and collectibles. It all
started as a hobby which evolved into a significant Alternative Investment and
eventually a "business in time". The main
reason for setting up HG is to bring special items to fellow
collectors/dealers alike and at the same time keep our hobby going. Some of
the watches you see in our website originated from our private collection whilst
others have been sourced and selected with much effort and care.
As collectors at heart, each item in our showcase has been handpicked,
examined
and acquired as if it was for our own collection. You will notice that all our watches are of fine
condition that every watch collector
would ask for. Call us
perfectionists if you like but
we take pride in bringing the great smile onto
your face
when you receive our items.
Our experience & professionalism will ensure that your shopping experience with us is a pleasant
one.
Buy from us
with confidence as HG is a legally
registered
business entity
and a licensed vintage watch dealer registered with the Singapore
authorities. We are also an ebay POWERSELLER
with strong positive
feedback. Our
experience in worldwide shipments ensures that you receive the items you ordered safely and cost effectively.
