Year in Review: 2024

As the hands of time sweep past another year, 2024 stands as a glittering chapter of transformation. What began as a humble foray on Instagram with only 3 posts has blossomed into a celebrated venture, cementing our reputation as “The Cartierist”, an accolade that now proudly accompanies the previous “Rothfather” title. 

Our prior focus on neo-vintage broadened to vintage with the rarest of masterpieces (including some unique pocket watches and mystery clocks) from Audemars Piguet, Daniel Roth, and most notably, Cartier which were curated, sourced, sold and celebrated; many of them not even showcased on this platform but each one, a testament to the essence of horology.

HighendTime soared to new heights with a staggering revenue surge; an achievement that reflects not just passion but also perseverance. To all those who supported this, and you all know who you are, a heartfelt thank you!

Now as 2025 dawns, it holds even greater promise. The launch of this retail website marks the beginning of a new chapter, reimagining the ART OF TIME and aiming to position us as Asia’s pre-eminent vintage horology platform. With a carefully curated 250-piece strong inventory and some game-changing projects on the verge of unveiling, the path ahead is full of potential.

My deep friendships with my watch family at @the.horology.club will continue to enrich this journey, now spanning continents and including my brothers from the European chapter, while a new connection with the @cartier.collectors.club will add another layer of camaraderie. I must also acknowledge my favourite watch app @pushers.io , where i was the first Asian dealer.

As we pivot toward what’s next, stay tuned; the most exciting chapters are yet to be written. Happy and healthy 2025 to all of you and all of yours!
