This investment was completed via SPV in conjunction with CMIA Capital Partners in July 2018.

Bintang’s investment is premised upon driving circular economy considerations which includes extending the life of pre-owned luxury watches, thereby mitigating the demand for new watches and the resources required to manufacture them. Given the inventory of pre-owned watches accounts for between US$20-30bn, Bintang believes that the recirculation of second hand luxury watches can play a material role in reducing environmental degradation.
