Our Heritage

Pioneering Beginnings

The Grand Voyage

At 19, Balage Porolis de Silva embarked on an odyssey from Galle, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), traveling across Asia, Australia, and the Americas with a collection of gemstones. His travels laid the foundation for a legacy dedicated to artistry, enterprise, and fine craftsmanship.

The Founding of B.P. de Silva Jewellers

Inspired by his global travels, B.P. de Silva established his eponymous jewellery brand in Singapore, introducing the region to exceptional natural and rare Sri Lankan gemstones and European-style craftsmanship. This marked the beginning of a family legacy that would endure for generations.

Expanding Excellence

A Vision for Timepieces

Recognising the growing fascination with horology, B.P. de Silva became the first agent of Omega watches in Singapore. This milestone signified the brand’s expansion beyond jewellery, ushering in a new era in the fine horological world.

The Establishment of RISIS

With a passion for blending nature and artistry, RISIS was founded, introducing the world’s first gold-plated orchid. This innovation transformed an ephemeral bloom into an enduring symbol of Singaporean design and craftsmanship.

A Meeting of Legacies

B.P. de Silva became an official agent for Audemars Piguet, forging a partnership with another family-led house dedicated to haute horology. Both Maisons shared a commitment to time-honoured skills, artistry, and innovation, laying the groundwork for a new chapter in horological excellence.

Joint Venture with Swatch Group

Strengthening its presence in luxury timepieces, B.P. de Silva entered a joint venture with Swatch Group, one of the world’s most influential watchmakers. This partnership reinforced its expertise in fine horology and expanded its role in shaping the Swiss watch industry within the region.

The Founding of Senso Group

Expanding beyond jewellery and horology, Senso Group was established, a joint venture rooted in personal ties that was built on trust as much as vision. This joint venture marked a bold step beyond the Group’s heritage in jewellery and horology into the realms of F&B, hospitality and lifestyle.
