Fung Leung Kee Watch (馮良記表行)

 

Fung Leung Kee Watch (馮良記表行) was a legendary family-run watch retailer in 

Wan Chai that stood for over 80 years. It officially closed its doors on March 30, 2026.

The History of Fung Leung Kee

• Wartime Origins: Founded by Mr. Fung Leung in 1943 during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the shop became a cornerstone of the Wan Chai community.
• Rolex Pioneer: In the 1960s, Fung Leung Kee became one of the first authorized dealers for Rolex and Tudor in Hong Kong. For decades, it was the "go-to" spot for many locals buying their first luxury timepiece to celebrate life milestones.
• Location: Originally located in a tenement building on Johnston Road, it later moved to Tai Yau Plaza due to urban redevelopment. The family also owns the Fung Leung Kee Center nearby.

Why Did It Close?

• Brand Strategy Shifts: The primary reason cited by industry analysts was the global trend of luxury brands (like Rolex) tightening their distribution networks and moving toward direct-to-consumer flagship stores rather than traditional family-owned dealers.
• Market Evolution: The rise of smartwatches and changes in the secondary luxury watch market made the traditional retail model more challenging.
• Graceful Retirement: With the family owning significant real estate in Wan Chai, the closure was seen more as a "glorious retirement" rather than a financial failure, ending on their own terms after 83 years of service.

This is after The Tai Hing in Tsuen Wan, the second old Rolex AD come to an end.

We believe more to come to close as Rolex wants to handle by themselves as much as they can.

Designa Individual (DiW) is a Germany-based, high-end customization company founded by two Belgian artists, specializing in modifying luxury watches into bespoke, lightweight masterpieces using carbon fiber and precious materials.

• Carbon GMT/Submariner: Customizing iconic GMT-Master II or Submariner models with distinctive carbon fiber elements. 

Note: DiW watches are aftermarket modifications and not authorized by original brands like Rolex.

In my opinion, true watch lover won't have great reluctance to see someone id wearing the same watch as you are.. so Uniqueness is very important as that may be one of the few watches i the world. beside I believe they have also original Rolex watches in his collection. sometime a light weight, durable, accurate, stylish, unique rare Daytona is great fun to wear!

Besides Watches, pen collection and Calligraphy is my other hobbies

 Calligraphy is my meditation, where the vanilla-infused aroma of Paris coffee meets the bold, verdant flow of my vintage Waterman Patrician turning a simple Sunday into a curated escape ❤️

Remarks

That is a Waterman Patrician fountain pen 1929. The nib had to go through 32 steps to make!

In 1929 the pen was sold with USD$10.00 that time a miner month wages was $118.00.

Audemars Piguet 5402BA A series on sale

 A piece of history, the most iconic Royal Oak watch that saved the company in 1972. A Legendary watch design from Gerald Genta 

This watch had been authenticated in Le Brassus Audemars Piguet in 2024, but when I asked about the final cost for overhaul, the Audemars Piguet reply from Switzerland was HK$198,000 that is out of my budget and I took it back.

this is open for sell, I know it is not the good time to sell, but if the offer is OK, I can turn the money for other investment.

Message me if you can give an offer. 

Five HK dealers fell into a trap buying Frankenwatch losing 5 Millions HKD within day

 

Scammer used authentic Audemars Piguet watch with paper and box Ref 15450 with HK$218,000 ,

replaced with a Chinese made super A clone openwork movement and sold 5 sets to HK dealers each at $1,020,000 in One day. The nett profit is about 5 M HKD, they have to sell them via different channels to five dealers in one day, as we have dealer Whatsapp group that they can communicate if that is not done in one day. the chance to get caught is very high on the next day!

This is new way to scam money with considerable higher cost!

Cartier Tank rare blue dial with gold dust manual winding for men (for sale)

 Men are increasingly wearing Cartier watches traditionally labeled for "ladies," favoring smaller, more elegant silhouettes over oversized sport models

. This trend is driven by a move toward androgynous fashion and a "subtler flex" that prioritizes design over case size. 

Why This Trend?

• Androgyny: The breakdown of gender labels in jewelry and fashion has made smaller watches a statement of style rather than "femininity".
• Historical Accuracy: Vintage men's watches from the early 20th century were often the same size as today's ladies' models.
• Comfort: Smaller watches are lighter and fit more easily under shirt cuffs. 

Attached is my personal collection in blue rare with gold dust, this is not Lapis Azuli dial but gold dust lacquer dial made by Cartier in 1985-1988.

Beautiful dress watch that possible catch more eye contact than your Rolex Submariner for sure.

HK$30,000 for local HK trade only

Celebrities Wearing Small or "Lady" Cartier Watches

 

Timothée Chalamet

Iconic Models Seen on Men

• Cartier Baignoire

: Originally an oval-shaped women's design, its mini versions are now popular among "dandies" like Chalamet and 

Mescal

 for their jewelry-like appearance.

• Panthère de Cartier

: Once a flagship ladies' model, its elegant, thin profile (approx. 6mm thick) is now a staple for men looking for a minimalist aesthetic.

• Small Tank Must/Louis

: The "Small" model (approx. 29.5mm x 22mm) is often chosen by men who prefer the historical proportions worn by icons like 

Muhammad Ali

and 

Gary Cooper

, who both wore smaller Tanks by modern standards. 

This is one of my collections for sale in Hong Kong locally at HKD$22,000
