However, the unsatisfactory experience when trying to buy Gucci watches in Indonesia motivated Irwan Mussry to start his own business. In 1984, Time International managed to gain the status of the official distributor of Gucci watches. His negotiating skills and vision to provide high-quality service to customers made him win the hearts of renowned watch manufacturers such as Gucci.

“It should be luxury watch distributors serve prospective buyers with a sense of compassion. Shop assistants must be able to make prospective buyers like family who must be accompanied and talked to buy products according to their character,” said Irwan Mussry in a written statement received Liputan6.com, recently.
