Robert de Haer is never far from the jewellery

Robert de Haer has an eye for the extraordinary. The Dutch gemmologist and avid sailor began his career as a jeweller at some of the Netherlands’ most distinguished jewellery houses. Now regional commercial director of diamonds and jewellery for G4S, he is tasked with the security of high-value gemstones across Asia. He’s usually on the move – whether flying to Dubai, Bangkok or Singapore, or sailing one of his yachts from the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club.
