Which watch is your favorite from his collection?
Swiss Watch Gang My favorite has to be the Hublot that he designed, that you’re wearing. The day you posted a photo of it on your channel I was immediately enthralled. Now knowing his thought process in the concept and design of the watch makes me admire it all the more.
@@Steven_M. I can't agree more! Many great watches but the Hublot LAB Fusion also holds a special place in my heart and collection. :)
The UN with the black enamel
@@jaygee6606 👌👌
Steven Morales it’s a watch that means a lot to me, really. I’m glad you like it. Hublot was really supportive and bold to make this radical design a reality. Always a special feeling every time i strap this one on the wrist.
This dude collects at a level 100x mine in term of US dollars, but you can feel the enthusiasm coming out. A true collector, not like the social media hype collectors.
100%
He is what i call a real watch enthusiast. The Rectangular AP is stunning
100%! With his heart and soul👍😊
thank you! can't hide the passion! haha.
Thank you so much for taking your time to discuss watches with me! What an enjoyable afternoon that was.
Thank you brotha!! Anytime again
Hello SWC, tried to use the Contact Us page on your website but I wasn't able to submit my message. I'd like to enquire about membership, so is there another way to contact you? Thanks.
David B SG pls drop me a dm on Instagram!
@@singaporewatchclub Hi, not to be difficult or sound paranoid, but I don't like to install any apps related to Facebook. I'll see if I can set up a temp account, contact you to give you my email address and then delete it. Standby whilst I figure this out 😏
Your collection is beautiful. You made me appreciate vintage watches much more. It's great seeing a humble guy with a collection like that and the excitement you have discussing them.
This is the direction Talking Watches should have taken. Hit and miss nowadays, but this is bang on. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for saying that.🙏
damn, that's a real high praise to be compared to Talking Watches. Thank you for stopping by, you made my day. :)
@@SwissWatchGang such a heartwarming comment.
@@singaporewatchclub ☺️
What a amazing collection he has, those vintage AP’s are absolutely stunning.
absolutely, a very refined taste and focus :)
Cool guy, he's really knowledgable!
Yes, very much so!
Thank you! I try. ✌🏼
He’s a watch enthusiast.. how can he become one if he doesn’t know anything about watches.. especially the ones he collect...
One of the most exciting collections I've seen in a long long time. Compliments on that!!
Wow thank you. Im humbled. Enjoying the positivity!
:)
Great interview/talk, fabulous guy. Our group Glycine watch collectors just broke the 1000 member milestone today. Great group of friendly people.
Thank you for watching and congrats on your group!
This is the most incredible collection I have ever seen, wow!
Glad you liked it! If all goes well we might do a part 2 this year 😊
@@SwissWatchGang will this come?
Seems like the SWC is the coolest watch club; and Major Tom a super pres! - Cheers from Germany
😁
Great collectors interview , amazing and very special collection too . That AP Star Wheel is so cool imho . Allready looking forward to the next video 🤗
Watchonthewrist I’m so glad you liked it. Never thought people would like them as much as I did, as it’s quite off the usual path. I’m looking forward to the next one too! Really love this interview series and am so honoured to be part of it.
Thank you for your continuous support brotha!! :)
@@singaporewatchclub
I want the rectangular AP. That was a very nice surprise, beautiful watch. Fantastic collection. Love the stories behind his watches and the fact the he said it’s ok to have Seiko and Timex watches.
its called watch collecting, not wealth flaunting! buy whatever speaks to you, and puts a smile on your face. Thank you!
Word!
One of the best interviews ever. Well done guys!
Glad to hear and thank you!
Fantastic video and collection!
Congratulations for all!
So nice to see quality wristwatch content on CZcams just for a change.
Best,
Amintas
Hello Amintas. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Definitely something you can expect weekly on this channel :) (not interviews but quality content :)
My favourite interview till date!
Thank you brotha!
thanks for the love!
What a great collection and guest. A lot of pieces I've never seen before.
🙏
Thoroughly enjoyed this amazing episode. Helps me understand why I'm now part of this community and realize there are so many others who share the same passion.
You are so right about the emotional connections we have with our watches and how much more important these connections are towards the true enjoyment. I know this is an old video but keep up your great work and thank you for making them. Regards, Edward
this is something else! legend.
Lovely guy, amazing to hear him throughout this video
Yea, a great person! 😊
What a beautiful video, I love the unique collection and fascinating stories, but more importantly the passion you both have! I wish I lived in Singapore just to be part of the Singapore Watch Club. Hopefully, I will be able to visit and attend an event someday :)
Thank you for watching and your kind words! 🙏
Amazing video ! I could spend a whole day just watching you two talk. I’m a huge fan of AP - as it’s my favorite brand and seeing some unique and not everyday pieces truly made my day.
Keep it up !
-HorologicalMarvel
Thank you brate!
Would love to talk watches with you some day too!
I really enjoyed this video! A wonderful collection and entertaining conversation! There were so many timepieces that I saw for the first time. Looking forward to more collector interviews :)
Glad you liked it Henry! More to come for sure, have already a few planned 💪😁
Awesome watches, knowledgeable collector, nice production.
Also; all that SUPREME décor is going to look SO good in 15 years.
100% agree with everything and thank you for the kinds words! Supreme is another of his passions, very cool decor!
Man thank you! Appreciate it.
Swiss Watch Gang you’re my other passion bro.
This video is much better than any Talking Watches, well done, hope we can see more of this!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the kind words, definitely more to come in the future. 🙏
Mouth open and drouling omg omg this tom has such a nice collection of a.p. lucky you your are looking & touches those fantastic pieces woooow .😛. Good vlog top notch👍
I really am lucky, Tom is a great soul and his collection reflects that 100% :)
Thank you for taking the time to watch it! I share what I can, and I hope the passion comes through. Appreciate the kind words!
Swiss Watch Gang 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tom from Singapore Watch Club is my spirit animal.
hahaha what a comment!
thank you for this amazing video. by far the most underrated watch channel out there!
Thank you for watching 🙏👍
100% agree. Honoured to be part of this channel. It really shows when his passion drives his work. A true inspiration.
The passion this guy have is amazing his collection is too :)
Agree! 😊👍
I learned a lot from this and nice to see SWC has grown to do more collabs. I love that the red dial Royal Oak on the wrist!
Amazing collection Tom is a super cool guy had the pleasure of meeting him
while I was in Singapore.
Holy shit! I'm not big on comments, but I have to say that these are some of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen! This collection is very much to my taste. That skeletonized Audemars, the perpetual calendars... I mean... I understand now why some people go vintage so hard. That guilloché on some of those dials... incredible...
Great Video!
Glad you liked it Eric! 👍
Superb video. Great to see how excited you guys get about watches. Know that feeling 😁
shaHorology hahaha I know! It can get really geeky sometimes (obviously it did in this video) but hey we don’t get to choose what makes us tick right? 😉
@@singaporewatchclub definitely makes me tick. On a recent trip to Dubai mall, the wife had to drag me out. Otherwise I would have been in the watch area for days 😅
haha yeah, u know the special feeling 😁
@@shahorology3275
Thank so much for what you doing, amazing collection and great interview. Keep doing videos 👍👍

What a cool guy, thank you Marko for these great vids.
Thanks to you I am following loads of people in Instagram.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! :)
Great interview!!!
Thank you for watching Cole!
amazing interview with a brilliant guy!!!
Glad you liked it chief! :)
Simply amazing, love the entire collection particularly the rectangular AP, I’ve been searching for one myself!
I was hoping at the end you would show case the Royal Oak on your wrist, such an interesting dial colour.
Cheers guys, Jimmy.
Same here, want a SS AP rectangular, hard to find though
Thank you! That one was really tough to hunt down. I literally had to travel on short notice to secure it. No regrets!
Bravo, nice collection. Now I have to visit Singapore so I can one day join this club.
🤣😁👍
I appreciate the kind words! Yes please, if you ever find yourself on this side of the world please do not hesitate to drop me a DM on IG. :)
What a kind, authentic, and special human.
Absolutely, one of the best ones I met in my years of watch collecting. :)
Another great guy with a very interesting collection. Thanks again for these great interviews
Appreciate you watching it. More to come in the future!
And he didn't even show that AMAZING royal oak with red Ferrari dial on his wrist, only 2 pieces ever made! 🤯
😊 You can see more on his Instagram @singaporewatchclub. There are a few new additions to the collection. 😁
Stunning his watch collection excitement ❤
Great interview. Thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you for watching 🙏
Thank you for watching, Barry. Appreciated.
Wow, first time I've seen a Hublot design with good taste 😄
The UN is a cool design, and the first real luxury watch I fell in love with was a UN Classico Dual Time in white enamel 🤩
Leave it to Tom to create a nice Hublot ;) :)
I like your taste in watches!
@@SwissWatchGang wish i could claim all the credit! couldn't have done it without the support from the members, brand, and artist!
@@singaporewatchclub Thanks. Did you see my DM with my contact details?
I like the red accent on your jacket matching with the red dial of the Royal Oak.
It's all in the details. 😊 Good catch👍
wasnt intentional haha but yes they do go very well together.
Mr. Tom Chng Knows his watch stuff. Great interview.
Excellent excellent interview!! Thanks guys :)
Glad you like it!
Great interview with very interesting and well rounded collection.
Glad you like it! Yes, Tom really precisely chooses what to buy and each watch has its own cool story.
thank you!
That first AP is unbelievable. It is too bad the brand doesn’t make watches like this anymore.
Agree
Video started with my favorite watch of his collection 😉👍🏻
Thanks for watching! :)
this guy knows his stuff! great video
100% and thank you! 🙏
thank you!!
Very cool ,,,,when I get too Singapore again I hope I can get a time to visit and chat with you
Contact @singaporewatchclub on Instagram if you are in Singapore :)
@@SwissWatchGang thanx I will do that
Tom Soo elequent .
the way he talk about watches are Soo passionate.
I have never heard anybody that a watch is "extremely romantic and charming"
damnnn
Love this one!
thank you luca!
Glad you do. Cheers my friend.
The First Black Dial AP is so good..............Thank you for excellent video.......
:) Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel!
@@SwissWatchGang You are welcome, Love from India 👍
Such an unusual collection in the best way. Beautiful pieces
Truly is, I've never seen anything like it either
Thank you James. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers.
@@SwissWatchGang aww. haha
@@singaporewatchclub 😁😁
I learn so much from these interviews. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great interview as always! Love to see the channel growing bigger every day💪
The AP at 5:45 is magnificent!🔥
Thank you! :) Absolutely, that AP is killer
thank you!
Either you hate the brand Hublot or you LOVE it. Hublot stays for art, innovation and stunning designs... just love the brand.
I agree. Most people hate it because it's "cool to hate" and have mostly no logical explanation behind their hate.
Amazing collection! Those vintage APs are insane
Right? Tom is ur man when it comes to rare vintage APs. His Instagram is insane!
Thank you for the high praise my friend. Many more experienced collectors out there than myself, but I appreciate your kind words.
Swiss Watch Gang you flatter me bro... lol
Underrated channel! Keep it up!
Thank you Manuel! Step by step we're growing :)
i 100% agree. So proud to be part of it!
@@SwissWatchGang keep it up!
@@singaporewatchclub 100%! New video every week, 🙌
Gosh that Hublot look really awesome! Personally I feel is the nicest one from Hublot.
Thank you for the kind words Alvin and thank you for dropping by! 🙏
couldn't have done it without the helpful members, talented artist, and adventurous brand.
@@singaporewatchclub I'm a Singporean too :) I'm totally taken aback with the design details that u guys come out with. Seriously is the best looking Hublot! The dial especially is something u dont get to see or infact Never get to see it from others. Wow is crazy..... is a beauty.
@@@SwissWatchGang
Is my first time checking out your video & I blown away with this timepiece,,, I get myself subscribed to your channel!
@@FirestormAA thank you Alvin! Glad you like it and welcome to the gang🙌😁 hublot credits go to @singaporewatchclub
Stunning pieces. Beautiful.
Thanks for watching 🙏
really enjoyed this - see you at the F1
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Great interview and display of AP’s history and capabilities. Excellent.
Absolutely agree, they made many complications and case shapes in the past, hope to see more of that in the future.
LOVE THIS UNIVERSAL COMPASSION INCLUSIVENESS…………..the acknowledgement of all economic backgrounds
:)
Great collection there. But that Hublot with Chinese calligraphy numbers.....fantastic.
the most stunning collections iv ever seen
cool video, great guy. And it's a 3/4 bridge (plate), not a main plate. That would be the one on the dial side, with everything fixed too ;)
Thank you, yes he is great. And u are correct 👍😁
Stunning collection.
Glad you like it and thank you for watching! 🙏
OMG!!!! What a Watch colection !!!!!
saw you at MBS bro, enjoy your stay in singapore.
Hehe nice! Thank you
The man with true love passion for watch ❤️
100%
this is amazing,
Glad you liked it!
What a legend collector !
Yes, he is awesome :)
The very first AP is my favorite 👌
Yea, that dial is gorgeous!
Ah the Tuscan! Very good taste.
Swiss Watch Gang it’s a very contemporary piece, compared to the other 2. Amazing how they all age very differently.
His AP'S are much more interesting than the usual Offshores. The quartz ''RO'' is beautiful
Absolutely agree. Check his Instagram, you won’t believe what he buys 😍
Real interesting. I have some similar likes. Wish I had the pocket book
the only disappointing thing about this video is missing out the 15202 Royal Oak Red Dial on Tom's wrist !!! :(
hahaha I got u man! I guess I have to fly back to Singapore! haha
You’re gonna have to bug Swiss watch gang for a part 2 then, I’m afraid. 😜
Cant wait for a part 2!! However, nonetheless Good Job Guys 🙌🏻
@@spiner555777 Appreciate it man!
If AP decides to do a collaboration with Supreme some day; this man will be first in line.
Hahahaha 100%, you should have seen his place, this is maybe 10% of the Supreme items he has :D
@@SwissWatchGang The man certainly knows what he likes. Congratulations on your recent purchase, I'm loving the Hublot on your wrist. Found your channel recently, loving the content thus far. Congratulations and Good luck! Kind Regards.
@@barfymann362 100% very focused collector in every category. Thank you, appreciate your time. 2020 is going to be wild :)
Wowwwww AP quartz makes my jaw dropped twice once he showed how to set the time
His collection is everything 🖤🔥🔥🔥👈
And it's even better now! Check his insta @singaporewatchclub
17:43 the movement looks very similar to JLC 899 caliber, my guess is that JLC produced the movement for AP.
Just spoke to Tom, yes it is. The same caliber. :)
@@SwissWatchGang Thanks for the update.
class collection
😊
thank you! i hope you enjoyed the video. cheers!
could you do a review of a watch sometime. The Jaeger-L master control "sector"? I can't find any online and saw an article on the Hodinkee website. It is the prettiest/classiest watch these tired old eyes have ever seen.
THE GREY IS THE MOST BEATIFUL HUBLOT/AND IN GENERAL WATCH I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Awesome!
I do not own any expensive watches but I am very much interested in the art of watches; how they look, and how they work. Also all the watches I own are five watches so I think I have found my taste, but thank you for saying that you can be an enthusiast and have cheaper watches.
Absolutely, watch collecting isn´t about the value of the watches, it´s about your connection and love for them.
@@SwissWatchGang thanks for the reply!
@@yianniro7033 thanks for watching 👌😁
TRUE COLLECTOR
100% with his soul and heart!
I try. ✌🏼🙏🏼 thank you!
Swiss Watch Gang 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@singaporewatchclub I LOVED YOUR TASTE FOR THE UNIQUE , WHICH I BELIVE HOLDS MORE VALUE LATER.
Wandering hours is brilliant
👍👍
I love mechanical watches, don’t own a quartz and never will. Started with pocket watches because I love the movements, I love watching them run, they’re mechanical art. I moved to wristwatches because you have such a greater appreciation and bond with your pieces when you wear them, rather then pocket watches that sit on a shelf or display.
couldn´t have said it better mike!
Guys! This raises the question; What has happened to A.P, their product line up is absolutely poor at the moment. They have abandoned a large portion of what they are good at.
They are no longer in the holy trinity for me, Lange should and do deserve to take their spot
Joey Fadel I think AP has been transitioning for the past few years, getting ready for their next phase or evolution and maturity. The recent success from the huge sales for offshores and then the ROs have brought the company’s brand value to historical highs.
You’re right to observe that AP’s product line up is sparse, but I believe exciting things are coming. Judging by the lack of product lines right now, it makes sense to expect new families in the near future. CODE 1159 is step in the right direction and the collection will get more robust and varied in the years to come I’m certain.
Firstly the holy trinity is a Swiss watchmaking concept, so Lange wouldn’t fit in that. Secondly, I think Lange has many more things to figure out before they would be in the same category as the Swiss Holy Trinity. Off the top of my head: ergonomics and case design.
I personally think that history will repeat itself and they'll go back and review some models. That's at least what I hope. That being said, there is great opportunity to purchase vintage models still relatively affordable compared to the modern watch prices.
The quartz AP is so bloody HOT.
100%😁
he really knows his stuff! impressed that he managed to amass an impressive collection at such a young age!
Yup, and if you check his Instagram page you'll be even more surprised, a lot has changed since.
Is that a red AP he’s wearing? Does that even exist? Looks amazing.🔥
Yes it is a red Royal Oak and it does exist just VERY rare :)
@@SwissWatchGang Wow! Cool!
@@ericfan9149 check out his Instagram @singaporewatchclub and get ready for some unique watches 😅.
Ginault has a black enamel dial as well
Good for them! The SingaporeWatchClub Ulysse Nardin model was the first black enamel Classico model for the Ulysse Nardin brand, there are of course other watch brands doing it.
WHATS FUNNY IS HE JUST MENTIONED “THE 1 PLATINUM ROYAL OAK PIECE UNIQUE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND” AND NICO LEONARD HAS THAT WATCH IN BELFAST IRELAND 🇮🇪 HE PROBABLY WOULDNT ACCEPT $1.5 MILLION FOR THAT PIECE
Vintage AP’s 👌👌 along with trash Hublot 🙏🙏🙏
