In Malaysia, women have been the victims of thieves on motorbikes. In the UK, there has been a case of luxury watches being stolen by thieves on scooters, resulting in a six-figure loss. Businessman Sébastien Buonomo almost became a victim when his Rolex GMT-Master II watch was almost stolen by thieves. The watch was very valuable because it was given to him by his late brother.
This traumatic incident led Buonomo to create a Watchlock specifically for luxury Rolex watches. It is a stainless steel watch strap with a locking clasp that makes it not easily removed when stolen like a regular watch clasp. Each owner will receive three mini keys with each purchase.
At this time, Watchlock only supports Rolex watches from the Airking, DateJust, and Daytona series. Each Watchlock is sold for €680 (~RM 3174) each. It is a high price but is a worthwhile investment to prevent a watch worth over RM500,000 from being stolen by thieves.
