If you're lucky, you grew up with a father who didn’t need many words.
He didn’t write long texts. He didn’t show up with flowers or gifts.
But he gave you something far more precious—his time.
His presence. His rhythm. His quiet pride.
And when he was proud of you?
He made sure the whole world knew it.
👏 “LIMBEH CLAP FOR YOU AH!” — THE UNSCRIPTED APPLAUSE THAT STUCK FOR LIFE
I’ll never forget the day I scored 7 out of 10 on a spelling test.
I thought it was no big deal. I’d probably forget it by dinner.
But when I walked through the door and handed him the paper,
he put down his kopi, looked at me straight in the eye, and said:
“Wah! LIMBEH CLAP FOR YOU!”
Clap clap clap — three loud claps that echoed louder than any medal I’d ever earn.
It wasn’t about the score. It was about the effort.
He saw it, and he made sure I saw him seeing it.
That’s who he was — the kind of father who didn’t need a crowd to cheer you on.
He was the crowd. And he was proud.
“TOK GONG AH!” — A SYMPHONY FROM THE DINNER TABLE
My dad was never musically trained.
But somehow, he managed to turn every dinner table into a stage.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tok… Gong… Tok Gong ah!
He had his own beat, and no one could tell him otherwise.
Using a chopstick, a spoon, sometimes just his knuckles on the table —
he’d perform his evening “concert” after every meal,
looking pleased with himself like he just played the drums for Coldplay.
We used to laugh at him. “Dad, not again!”
But now? I’d give anything to hear that silly rhythm one more time.
Because those sounds weren’t just noise —
they were his way of saying, “I’m happy. We’re safe. Life is good.”
TIME, HONOURED: WHAT THIS WATCH REALLY MEANS
The My Father Series is not just a collection of timepieces.
It’s a living memory — designed to carry all those priceless moments.
When we built this collection, we didn’t want another generic “dad watch.”
We wanted something real. Personal. Local.
A timepiece that feels like your old man is right there with you,
even if he’s far away… or no longer here.
That’s why each design element holds meaning:
Watch Feature | What It Represents |
---|---|
Bold, clean dial | His strength, his clarity, his way of always knowing what mattered most |
Warm, grounded tones | His calm presence through every storm |
Polished steel casing | His resilience — even when times were hard, he never cracked |
Hidden engraving options | A place for that “Limbeh Clap for You” message, or whatever memory keeps him close |
NOT JUST A GIFT — A LEGACY ON YOUR WRIST
You don’t need a reason to say thank you.
Not to the man who taught you how to ride a bike, save money, or survive heartbreak.
The man who stood outside school gates, arms crossed, acting like he wasn’t worried.
But he was.
He always was.
So maybe this year, skip the mug.
Skip the generic “World’s Best Dad” t-shirt.
Give him something that actually tells your story — your inside joke,
your unsaid appreciation, your heartbeat in his rhythm.
Or wear it yourself.
Because sometimes, the best way to honour him... is to carry his time forward.
OUR FAVOURITE MESSAGES FROM YOU
“My dad still does the ‘Tok Gong’ beat at 70. Now my kids copy him at the dinner table.”
— Chloe T.
“The moment I wore the watch, I felt like I was 12 again, walking beside my father.

REMEMBER THIS…
Fathers don’t ask for credit.
They give. And give. And give.
The My Father Series is our way of giving something back.
Not just to the man who clapped the loudest —
But to the one who stood silently at the back, arms folded, proud beyond words.
