Singapore native Dominic Khoo built a name for himself as a celebrity photographer capturing portraits of notable figures such as Cate Blanchett and the Dalai Lama.
Throughout this career he cycled through luxury cars and hobnobbed with celebrities, including Dennis Rodman. But in 2013, at 35, he walked away from photography to launch The WatchFund.
The move wasn't entirely surprising. According to The Times, Khoo had long had a passion for watches, having worked as a watch journalist and as a valuation expert for two auction houses, Antiquorum and Spink & Son.
