My Story

Hi there, 

I’m Andrew. In 2023, I left my steady corporate job and started Hour & Lume with one mission: to connect people with my biggest passion, mechanical watches. Watches are intricate mechanical wonders with complex and beautiful movements, complications, and dials. More so, watches tell stories, whether it be the piece you wore when you started your career, when your child was born, or when your grandfather escaped a war-torn country. Since mechanical watches will last the test of time, they have so many stories to tell. It’s up to you to write it. 

The beauty of watch collecting and curating the perfect collection is it’s a testament of your personality and taste. You can truly make it your own. You also don’t need a lot of cash to get started in the hobby, although once you start, you may not stop! 

I keep a small amount of inventory on hand. However, I believe it’s best to handpick your next piece as every small detail has a meaning. I source my pieces from a large dealer network, and ensure that every piece is fully authentic before it reaches your hand. We can typically have your luxury timepieces to you within 5-7 business days of your initial reach out. 

Whether it’d be your 1st timepiece or your 1000th, I’d be thrilled to help you find it! Reach out to andrew@hourandlume.com to schedule some time to discuss what you’re looking for! I’m also happy to just discuss watches as a hobby.

Cheers!

Andrew Cheng
