In just 17 days, three watch stores were robbed, raising questions in an otherwise sluggish economic market—could watches have become a form of "hard currency"?
**Yesterday (March 17)**, a masked man armed with a toy gun robbed a Cartier store located in the heart of Beijing’s Wangfujing Crown Plaza. He tied up a female staff member and stole 11 high-end watches valued at approximately 3 million yuan before being captured within 20 minutes.
**On March 12**, a robbery occurred at a watch shop on Peking Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. A man armed with a real gun seized nine Patek Philippe watches worth around HK$5.5 million. During the incident, he shot a clerk, who was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment. The case is still under investigation.
**On March 1**, at 7:30 PM, masked men robbed a Vacheron Constantin store in Shenzhen's Vientiane City. Fortunately, the staff quickly recognized the threat and immediately alerted the police, causing the thieves to flee in panic. The police are now investigating the incident.
**On November 3, 2008**, a middle-aged man used a fake gun to rob a Meihua Watch Shop on Xinhua North Road in Urumqi, stealing several valuable timepieces.
**On September 15, 2002**, three men with a northeastern accent robbed a "Hengdeli" store in Linyi City, Shandong Province. They managed to snatch 107 branded watches from Rolex, Longines, and Omega, with a total value exceeding 500,000 yuan.
**On August 7, 2008**, two masked individuals robbed a Chow Sang Sang Bank branch in Pok Pau, taking gold chains and watches worth 240,000 yuan.
**On July 26, 1997**, on the eve of Hong Kong's handover, a masked gunman robbed a Chow Sang Sang Bank in Chung On Street, Tsuen Wan, looting about 600,000 Hong Kong dollars.
**In November 1996**, four gunmen robbed a gold shop on Temple Street, stealing over 800,000 Hong Kong dollars worth of watches. During the escape, four police officers were injured, and one robber was killed.
**From 1991 to 1992**, a notorious Hong Kong underworld thief named Yeh Huan was responsible for stealing millions in gold and watches. The police issued a reward of 1 million yuan for his capture.
**On October 4, 2013**, the Vacheron Constantin store in the heart of Paris was robbed by 15 masked individuals wielding iron axes. In a matter of minutes, they stole over 20 expensive watches. Although two suspects were arrested, more than 20 watches worth millions of euros were still stolen.
**On December 5, 2013**, a jewelry store in Paris was robbed, with a single watch valued at RMB 6,644,500 taken. The perpetrators remain at large.
**Also on December 5, 2013**, a watch shop near the Cannes Film Festival in France was robbed. Two masked criminals used a pistol and hand grenades to steal over 40 high-end watches. This marked the second time the store had been targeted; it was previously robbed on February 21, 2013, when dozens of watches were stolen.
It’s important to note that buying stolen goods can be risky. Watches often come with unique serial numbers that are recorded globally or regionally. If the origin of a watch is unknown, it may be difficult to verify its authenticity. Additionally, stolen items typically lack proper documentation, making it hard to claim warranty or support. Purchasing stolen goods not only jeopardizes your consumer rights but could also lead to legal consequences. Under Article 312 of the Chinese Criminal Law, knowingly purchasing or selling stolen property can result in imprisonment of up to three years, detention, or surveillance, along with fines. If you are unaware of the source, you must prove your innocence. Always buy through official channels to protect yourself and avoid potential legal issues.
