WHO ARE WE
PASSIONS AUCTION HOUSE
BACKGROUND
The history of Passions begun from 1991 in Singapore as an antique shop with vintage watches. By the millennium, Passions evolved into an independent watch dealer catering to the vintage and pre-loved branded watches and was the market leader with media coverage by major news agencies. The founder was frequently interviewed and featured in several television programs on collecting and investing. In 2008, we opened our first overseas branch in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 2018, we established an office in Hong Kong. In 2021, we opened another vintage store and in 2024, Passions underwent a rebranding to enter the auction business. We have three sales galleries, a warehouse and an office in three countries as of 2024 and we intend to expand farther.
OUR CATEGORIES
Luxury watches, jewellery, antiques, paintings, porcelain and collector’s items that people value. We are open to hosting thematic auctions for you to sell your entire collection or businesses with heritage value.
THE MISSION
Our mission is to make the buying and selling of your collection as transparent, secure and efficient as possible. By rehoming collections, we extend the legacies of the creators to collectors and reduce the carbon footprint from new manufacture.
PLEDGE
As a global business, we recognise that these goals come with responsibilities and we channel a part of our resources and profit towards building the community for preserving heritage, art, education and reducing the environmental impact.
On top of that, Passions and our partners will put aside our time by contributing to and volunteering on services that benefit humanity.
“We rise by lifting others”,
Jonathan Tee, founder and CEO
