History
In 1950, the Borneo Company Ltd, an English company with their headquarters in London was selected as sole agent for Rolex for British Malaya and acted on behalf of the brand to appoint local retailers in Singapore, Malaya and Borneo to represent the Swiss brand.
A year after the appointment, Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex, made his maiden trip to the Far East to meet with his new partners.
André Heiniger visited Singapore in 1953 and eventually took over the reins of Rolex a decade later.
From the moment The Hour Glass was established in 1979, Rolex was a foundational partner at The Hour Glass’ new boutique in Lucky Plaza Shopping Centre on Orchard Road.
The Hour Glass opened Plaza Imbi in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Hour Glass opened Marina Mirage in the Gold Coast, Australia.
The Hour Glass opened Peninsula Plaza in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Hour Glass was appointed as an authorised retailer and official Rolex service centre in Auckland, New Zealand.
