A LIFETIME OF RETAIL EXCELLENCE

 

Ariston Yao had a dream.

 

When he first set foot in Manila, Philippines—from his lowly hutong dwellings in the middle of one of the many rice fields outside of Xiamen, China—he dreamed of one day seeing the fruits of his hard work sprawled around the town plazas and city shopping centers of Manila. He dreamed that, one day, he would wake up and see his creations worn on the wrists of all the people who stepped into his store.

We are the official distributor and retailer of over 50 exclusive watch brands in the Philippines.

Ariston Yao loved watches – he was fascinated with them. And he dreamed of one day owning the largest watch retail store in the Philippines.

And his dream became a reality.
