From Armin Strom to Greubel Forsey, these are the collectibles commemorating the recent opening of the SHH boutique in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur
The city of Kuala Lumpur now has a space dedicated to celebrating the best in independent watchmaking—Sincere Fine Watches' SHH in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Officially opened in November, the SHH (short for Sincere Haute Horlogerie) even boasts a private kitchen, an omakase bar, and a dining room, which exist to better immerse in the exquisite craftsmanship of these fine timepieces.

To celebrate this exciting opening, four independent watchmakers have created special editions for the boutique, each a unique representation of what creativity can deliver when there are no boundaries or limitations.
Armin Strom
A limited series of 12 pieces, the Armin Strom Tribute 1 SHH Edition reinterprets the classic dress watch with a stainless steel dial embellished with an off-centre dial with three hands and a tremblage finish in salmon, the latter a design choice that recalls the chronometers of the 1800s. The markers are deliberately left out to maximise the minimalist look.
Below it is the motor barrel, held by a bridge. This innovative mechanism delivers 100 hours of power reserve, thanks to an arbor that turns around the mainspring within the barrel itself. Also, note that the crown is unusually positioned at ‘2’.
