About

Thank you for visiting us. Passions is a home-grown company from Singapore and was established in 1991 by a then 16yrs old Jonathan Tee who laid down the foundation of this company. It began as a little antique shop, taking a small corner in his mother’s furniture outlet then bootstrapped with SGD1500 dollars and a matching fund from his mother. An antique teak wood glass cabinet was sourced from an old watch shop in the quaint Changi Village on the eastern end of Singapore for a mere S$30.00, and with that, it heralded our beginning.

Today, after more than thirty years, that cabinet has been restored and is with us. Passions has reached out to clients from over 80 countries and we are an internationally recognized company dealing in luxury branded watches from the latest models to pre-owned and antique pieces dating to 18^th century when England was ruled by George III and Qianlong was the emperor of China.

We also offer horology books, magazines, watch tools, straps, winders and accessories. Our galleries are a one-stop shopping experience for watch collectors and we have two outlets in Singapore and one in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We have a warehouse and also an office in Hong Kong.

Passions has been featured prominently in major international media outlets, including Asian Wallstreet Journal, Straits Times, Business Times, Today, The New Paper, Wanbao, Lianhe Zaobao, Sinchew, The Star and most horology magazines including, FHM and several trade publications.

Our founder, Jonathan Tee was also invited as a speaker on numerous television programmes in Singapore on watch appraisals, collecting and as an investment. A testament of his experience and our reputation. His collection of watches was also featured in a Martell campaign that was broadcasted over Asia. Our company has also sponsored location and provided watches for local television dramas.

We provide battery changes, general servicing to complete restoration of older watches.

For those who enjoy shopping online, we also conduct professional Authentication Service for a fee to ease your mind on your next purchase from a stranger. Please contact us to fix a prior appointment for this.

A visit to our main gallery in Singapore is always an experience.

“The name Passions was selected because it symbolises our passion in this business.”
