Police received a report from a female employee of the Hankow Road watch shop at about 5.30pm that two men had entered the premises and snatched three high-end timepieces.
The men reportedly grabbed two Audemars Piguet watches and a Patek Philippe timepiece before fleeing the scene.
One suspect had posed as a customer inside the store, police said.
As the employee retrieved the watches for viewing, the other accomplice reportedly stormed in and grabbed the pieces before fleeing on foot.
