What is a Momme? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The momme (3.75 g) is the traditional Japanese unit of mass, best known for pearls but also used for precious metals. Locally it is written 匁. One momme equals 3.75 grams, or 0.12057 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — HKD.
Where it is used. Japanese jewellers and pearl dealers quote per momme, and it is the unit behind many antique Japanese silver weights. The unit is the trading standard in Japan.
Pricing conventions. Japanese bullion dealers publish tax-inclusive yen prices per gram, so a momme quote is usually a conversion rather than the headline rate. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. One momme equals one tenth of a Taiwanese tael and matches the Korean don exactly.

Buying Platinum in Hong Kong: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per momme, the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Hong Kong Dollar. Physical buyers in Hong Kong pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Hong Kong's Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society. Buyers there generally watch the CGSE loco London and loco Hong Kong tael quotes as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium are equally untaxed, which keeps retail premiums among the lowest in Asia. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in HKD can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same momme of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Hong Kong are CGSE member dealers, Chow Sang Sang and other jewellers, bank paper gold accounts and vault storage providers. The products most often quoted locally include tael bars (37.429 g), 999.9 gold bars, Kilobars, 999 gold jewellery.
Local conventions. The Hong Kong tael of 37.429 g is the classic local trading weight, and 99.99 'chuk kam' gold jewellery is bought largely by weight. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per momme with the live platinum price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline HKD quote.
