| Located in Halls 3F-G, Salon de TE is delicately organised into 5 thematic zones. Here are some of the highlighted brands of the Chic & Trendy zone. |

Boundless Creativity
World Kraft-M has dual time-zone function. Its simple look matches with an empty case design, making it more lightweight when wearing. The crowns slant on the two sides of the dial, rendering a more prominent appearance. In addition, there are three embossed letters “H”, “A” and “S” on the dial, representing “Home,” “Away” and “Second” respectively, showcasing a low-profile yet thoughtful design. This embossed kraft paper design adds a bit of extraordinariness to this watch. Together with the interesting icons and “FRAGILE” marking, a simple design is perfectly made. |
 |

 |
Winning Ways
The best way to strive for victory is to boldly go forward, just as you are in a car race. Combining superior engineering and exquisite aesthetics, it delivers a triumphant sports style. Its 44mm casing echoes with the sapphire glass, perfectly complemented by velvety smooth satin brush strokes. Throw in a butterfly buckle specifically designed to reduce leather wear. This fashionable timepiece puts you in full control, from start to finish. |
 |
 |

Over the Rainbow
The rainbow that appears after rain is similar to the brightness and happiness returning after pain. It revives your life and is a symbol of happiness and romance. It reminds you of the innocent and light-hearted childhood, encouraging you to overcome all difficulties.
The Rainbow collection incorporates the seven rainbow colours in its watch design, bringing happiness and hopes to your life. The round case, with the crown set at the two o’clock position, features day and night function with Roman hour markers on the dial. The small round Swarovski crystals, set around the day indicator, are coordinated with the baguette stones set on the cases. |

 “My company provides after-sales service to 20 watch retailers in the US. I also offer technical advice on watch production to my clients. I have been to the Basel Fair for 19 times, but it’s my first time attending the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. Now, I realise that the Hong Kong fair is also an important event for the watch and clock industry because here I can see a lot of people whom I met at the Basel Fair. At this fair, I have found nicely designed watch winders and a potential OEM partner for the production of sporty watches. The fair has a good mix of local and international exhibitors. It’s a fantastic experience. I’ll bring my friends to the Hong Kong fair next year.”
Moritz Elsaesser, President & Owner, Mainly Watches, Inc., the US
 “We distribute Japanese and Swiss watch brands to 275 dealers in Thailand and also provide after-sales service. In addition, we have two shops and 31 counters at various department stores in Thailand. It’s our fourth time visiting the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. This year we are particularly interested in smart watches, packaging boxes and straps. So far, we have found four potential suppliers of packaging boxes and straps. We are planning to place orders after the fair. Apart from sourcing new products, the fair provides a good opportunity for us to see the latest watch trends.”
Toon Mahadumrongkul, Chief Executive Marketing – Japanese Brands, Trocadero Group, Thailand

 “Founded in Paris, our company entered the watch business in 2010. It is our second time exhibiting at the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. Specialising in sports and lifestyle watches, we are promoting our two brands, namely openwatch and Paris Saint-Germain at this year’s fair. We are happy to be here because we appreciate the organisation of this fair and the professionalism of HKTDC staff. The Hong Kong fair is a gateway to the Asian market. We have met with a few interested buyers from Hangzhou and Shanghai on the Chinese mainland and the Middle East. We are confident that we’ll be able to open up some new markets after the fair. In order to get closer to our customers in this region, we’ll open an office in Hong Kong early next year.”
Philippe Sfez, CEO, Saint Martin Multimedia, France
 “Headquartered in Hong Kong, we have offices in France and the US which focus on product design and R&D respectively. We are participating in the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair for the first time to introduce our Cogito smart watches. Buyers like our smart watches because they come with good design and smart features including incoming call/email/text notifications, calendar event reminders, low phone battery alert and remote control functions like muting incoming calls, locating your phone, playing music and triggering your camera, but they are sold at affordable prices. We have met with potential distributors from the Chinese mainland, Europe, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the US. The Wearable Tech Zone under Salon de TE provides a good platform for us to promote our brand and creates a lot of business opportunities.”
