Swiss luxury watch brand RICHARD MILLE has partnered with Asia’s official authorized pre-owned watch retailer, Value of Time (VOT), to open its first pre-owned boutique in China and the second in Asia.
Located in Tower 5 of Pacific Place in the bustling Wan Chai district of Hong Kong, the new store builds on the success of VOT’s first Asian boutique, which opened in August 2020 at Ngee Ann City on Orchard Road, Singapore.
The RICHARD MILLE pre-owned watch program operates through a global network of certified partners, including NX One in Japan, Westime in the United States, Ninety in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and VOT (the Singapore flagship and the newly launched Hong Kong store). This network ensures comprehensive global coverage, allowing customers to confidently purchase officially certified RICHARD MILLE pre-owned timepieces.
The new Hong Kong boutique spans 1,330 square feet and was designed by a team of young local architects. The immersive space seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with a humanistic ambiance, featuring curated artworks and designer furniture that foster in-depth engagement and long-term relationships. To mark the opening, the brand unveiled the new “Tourbillon Room,” an elevated experience area built upon the existing in-house service center. Its level of craftsmanship is on par with the RICHARD MILLE manufacture in Les Breuleux, Switzerland.
Since its founding in 2001, RICHARD MILLE has demonstrated forward-thinking insight into the rising demand for high-end pre-owned timepieces. Through the strategic development of exclusive service centers, the brand has built a reputation for “reliability” and “quality,” ensuring that each pre-owned watch meets the highest standards of authenticity, performance, and aesthetics.
Every timepiece sold by VOT undergoes rigorous evaluation, certification, and restoration by experienced watchmakers trained at the RICHARD MILLE manufacture. These expert technicians carry out comprehensive inspection, servicing, and refurbishment procedures to ensure each watch is presented in impeccable condition.
Customers who purchase a pre-owned watch from an officially certified boutique receive a two-year international warranty, an exclusive maintenance booklet, and a brand-new strap, as well as a presentation box.
