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.
