About

I’ve spent the last two decades pursuing some of the world’s rarest and most important timepieces. As the CEO of FutureGrail, I work with collectors across the globe to discover, authenticate and bring exceptional watches to market. Along the way, we’ve broken auction records, built a world-class watch museum in Singapore and created an accessible platform dedicated to transparency, expertise and trust. I believe sharing knowledge is a fundamental part of being a true collector, which is why I freely share my own perspectives with the watch community and surround myself with other specialist experts, in the continuous pursuit of learning. For my own collection, I value connection with a timepiece and ensure that I have a deep appreciation for its quality before acquisition. On this page, I share insights from the world of horology, stories behind remarkable timepieces for auction at FutureGrail, collecting advice and a behind-the-scenes look at my life in watches.
