Red Army Watches (RAW) in Malaysia was set up by Soemantri Kusumandi and Juliana Aloresa Chai nearly two decades ago to champion unique, independent watch brands with emphasis on individuality, craftsmanship and avant-garde design.
When RAW opened its doors in 2008, it quickly became a destination for collectors and enthusiasts seeking timepieces that stood apart from mainstream offerings.
