Indonesian businessman Tony Trisno has filed a civil lawsuit against the operator of the official Richard Mille boutique in Jakarta after two fully paid-for luxury timepieces—valued at over SGD 7.15 million (approximately USD 5.3 million or IDR 80 billion)—were never delivered.
The lawsuit, filed on December 11, 2024, is currently being heard at the North Jakarta District Court under case number 844/Pdt.G/2024/PN Jkt.Utr. Trisno is represented by **Catra Indhira Law Firm**, a Jakarta-based firm specializing in commercial litigation and cross-border legal disputes.
A long-time Richard Mille Jakarta client, Trisno had previously completed several high-value transactions without issue. However, in this instance, despite full payment in 2021 for two rare timepieces, the watches were never delivered. Instead, the boutique directed him to retrieve them from Singapore—a departure from past dealings and what Trisno claims was never part of the original purchase agreement.
> “This case is about upholding fundamental consumer rights,” said **Heroe Waskito, S.H.**, lead counsel at Catra Indhira Law Firm.
> “Our client honored his part of the agreement. It is now the seller’s obligation to deliver what was paid for.”
On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Catra Indhira Law Firm issued official notices to the following parties in a move to ensure international awareness and administrative transparency:
* **Horométrie S.A.**, Richard Mille’s operational headquarters in Switzerland
* **R.D.M.M. Concepts SAS**, part of the brand’s global administration based in France
* **The Embassy of Switzerland in Jakarta**, to formally acknowledge receipt of the communication
The lawsuit targets the Jakarta boutique’s operator specifically. However, the international notices aim to prompt engagement from Richard Mille’s global leadership, urging them to intervene and address the issue fairly.
> “Consumers everywhere deserve fair treatment, especially after fulfilling all obligations,” said **Eko Prastowo, S.H.**, counsel at the firm.
> “Every transaction must be honored in full, including delivery of purchased goods. That’s how justice and legal certainty are preserved.”
The lawsuit seeks a court ruling affirming the buyer’s right to the undelivered items and additional remedies under Indonesian civil law. Proceedings remain ongoing.
