THE HOUR GLASS LIMITED is a registered legal entity registered in Singapore under 197901972D, and its current status with Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) is active. The company was incorporated on 7 December 1978 and lists its registered address as SINGAPORE, Singapore. 5 shareholders are on record for THE HOUR GLASS LIMITED, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Group Structure

Group structure of THE HOUR GLASS LIMITED

THE HOUR GLASS LIMITED sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, TYC INVESTMENT PTE LTD, registered in Singapore. 8 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 6 jurisdictions. The full chain up to TYC INVESTMENT PTE LTD is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by THE HOUR GLASS LIMITED's own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 8 subsidiaries span Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, New Zealand jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear.
