SPRING SPRANG SPRUNG (SPRG), the first watch fair of its kind — one which focuses on independent watch brands, is back this year in a fresh location, at the National Library Singapore.

Conceived and debuted back in October 2022 by Yong Keong Lim, owner of Feynman Timekeepers, and Sugiharto Kusumadi, founder of Red Army Watches, SPRG aspires to be fun, casual, welcoming and inclusive.

The main aim is for the fair to be a platform where brand owners and enthusiasts alike get together on an annual basis to share their passions, ideas, suggestions and more.

Last year, SPRG brought together over 30 local, regional and international independent watch brands to an estimated 1,500 visitors over the span of three days.

This year, The Good Time Movement returns and runs from October 18-20 2024.

Yong Keong Lim & Sugiharto Kusumadi

Yong Keong Lim, or YK, started out as a watch collector in 2010. Most people probably know him as Mr. Greenhorology in the Singapore watch community. In 2018, YK founded Feynman Timekeepers as a legacy to be passed on to his elder son Feynman Lin in future. YK became the Director of BIG Time Singapore in 2021 and has taken over the role of business development in charge of developing awareness for brands like Orient and Orient Star. Apart from watches, YK enjoys spending time with his family for a good meal or in the arcade with his kids. He also enjoys having a shot of whisky alone during his personal time pondering about the next watch design for Feynman Timekeepers.

Sugiharto Kusumadi is, first and foremost, passionate (mad?) about watches. Kusumadi is perhaps best known as the founder of Red Army Watches aka RAW – a retailer of independent watch brands in Singapore since 2004 with a regional presence in Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia. Conceptualised to be different from your usual watch retailers, RAW aims to offer a fun and welcoming environment for new and seasoned watch enthusiasts alike to learn and share about watches. When Kusumadi is not admiring the sexy sleek curves of the latest timepieces that have caught his eye, he is an avid cyclist and also enjoys shooting with his camera (phone or otherwise).
