Contrary to popular belief, Levy
Hermanos, as the business was
known as in Hong Kong and
South East Asia, was a
partnership between three
bothers, Adolphe, Rafael and
!
Charles Levy.!

The Levy brothers were one of the
first Jewish families to settle in
Manila in the Philippines; their
business started life as dealers of
watches and this quickly grew to
them being the exclusive agents
in the Philippines for Omega and
Patek Philippe.!
