 “We create distinctive timepieces 100% in Germany, specialising in watches for motor sports and car racing. Our brand has more than 50 years of history and we come here to get in touch with more distributors in the Asian region and increase our brand exposure. It is a good time to talk to potential buyers directly and allow them time to have a quiet look at our unique watches. We are very excited with the results of the fair as we got visitors from morning to evening giving us really good feedback and I am even having dinner tonight with one of the buyers from Korea! I think this fair is even better than the one in Basel with a very good management and organisation. The guided buyer tours, parades, press contacts and breakfast arrangements are all incredible.”
Mr Julian Seume, Management, Elysee Uhren GmbH, Germany
 “We are the sole remaining company in Singapore and Malaysia that is assembling our watches locally in Singapore to ensure the quality of our production. Our watches are with high quality as we manage our production team directly and hire our team of in-house designers and monitor the whole process. The materials of our watches include the sapphire glass and Swiss and Japan movement and we are offering our watches in affordable prices. The business matching service by the HKTDC is an amazing feature that I would highly recommend since it brings the potential buyers to our booth directly and we are also able to build our brand awareness with this practice. Thank you HKTDC and we will come back again next year.”
Ms Tan Chew Ling, Marketing Manager, Aries Gold, Singapore |
| Key Buyers Are Here. Hear What They Say |
 “We have been in the watch industry for more than 30 years promoting our own brand name Bilyfer. We travel around the world to look for watch suppliers and manufacturers and rebrand the products and put them to market. Of the big number of watch fairs I have visited around the world, I would say the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Fair is one of the best among all, when compared to the ones in Italy, Swiss etc. The Premium Card feature is very impressive because I can use this to make my access to different fairs I am attending including the Jewellery Fair and Packaging Fair. The value pre-installed in the card also makes me feel the sincerity and consideration of the organiser.”
Ms Angeles Fernandez, Bilyfer, Spain
 “We specialise in wholesaling and distributing luxurious watches and jewellery in Romania and we come here targeting to broaden our product portfolio and trying to increase the diversity of our business. Apart from looking for top to middle class watches for our coming up retailing business in Romania, we are also seeking luxurious watch bands and packaging boxes. I am very satisfied with the arrangements of the HKTDC because every question I asked was answered and we got very clear directions and support. I will utilize my five days of staying here and talk to the extensive range of suppliers here from all around the globe.”
Mr Bogdan Chiriloiu, Brand Manager, D’Arte Swiss Watches, Jewellery, Romania
