  • The plot revolves around the infamous Lai Bao Hang, a watch store in Hong Kong on the surface, but in fact the heart of the notorious criminal syndicate in the watch resale market. Countless expensive stolen watches are found by Lai Bao Hang for its wealthy clientele in the underground black market. 50 years ago, when Picasso died, his three favorite watches disappeared, but now they mysteriously reappeared in Japan. Lai Shu (played by Keung To), the boss of Lai Bao Hang, assembled a powerful crime team including the master thief (played by Louis Cheung), the demolition expert King Qu (played by Michael Ning), the lock-picking prodigy Ah You (played by Anson Lo), and pre-owned watch expert Ma Wen-shun (played by Edan Lui), heading to the Time Story Watch Store in Tokyo to steal those three watches.
    Reluctantly, they accidentally found an even more precious watch, the "Moonwatch", the first watch worn on the moon. One team member took the Moonwatch without permission, angering the Japanese wealthy owner of the watch, who sent gangsters to hunt down the crime team. Facing increasing pressure, they had to return to Hong Kong and use the Moonwatch to threaten Lai Shu, hoping to escape safely. How they get out of the desperate situation and return home safely becomes the major suspense in this film.
