A former boutique manager at a luxury watch shop has gone missing, after allegedly receiving at least $109,000 as payment for Panerai watches but failing to deliver them.

Police reports have been lodged against Mr Terence Quek by both the distributor for the Italian brand here - Richemont Luxury (Singapore) - and at least three fine watch enthusiasts, who claim to have been cheated.

Mr Quek, believed to be in his 30s, is understood to have been sacked from Richemont last month, and has been uncontactable since last Saturday.

One customer, Indonesian vintage and fine watch dealer Amin Ko, said he gave Mr Quek $60,000 for three Panerai timepieces on Jan 2, while they were having lunch at Lucky Plaza.
