Hear What Buyers Say

“We are a distributor of 20 watch brands in the US and also manufacture watches under our own brands. This is my first time visiting the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. I am here looking for new products, new brands and new suppliers. Currently, our main products are quartz watches which represent 80 per cent of our business, with automatic watches taking the rest. Traditional watches remain popular in the US market because they are fashion accessories for different occasions and wearing high-end watches is one of the best ways to show off your status. At the fair, I have found potential business partners and I am planning to buy US$100,000 worth of watches for our private labels. I am also interested in brands like Bentley and ice-watch. The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair is a big show offering a great variety of watches and it’s the place where I can get inspiration and new ideas. I’ll be back next year.”
Alfred Gleiberman, Brand Development Director, Sterling Time LLC, the US

“In business for 30 years, our company is a leading watch importer, manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer in Korea. With 50 points of sale in department stores in Korea, we import more than 30 brands including high-end brands and fashion brands. This is my first-time visit to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair to look for well-known brands and fashion brands as well as OEM manufacturers. With the help of the HKTDC’s business matching team, I have found three potential suppliers of branded watches from Denmark, Italy and Switzerland. I am particularly interested in their automatic watches and quartz watches. Further negotiations will be conducted after the fair. I’ll visit the fair again next year because it is an interesting show which is very well-organised.”
Brian Kim, Manager, International Business Division, WOORIM FMG Ltd., Korea

Hear What Exhibitors Say

“This is the second time that we have organised the Swiss Independent Watchmaking Pavilion (SIWP) in the Salon de TE at the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. The main goal of setting up the SIWP at this important fair is to promote Swiss brands which offer value-for-money limited-edition watches with excellent quality. This year the SIWP is showcasing classic, elegant and sporty watches from seven Swiss brands to target Asian buyers visiting the fair. As one of the exhibitors at the SIWP, I am very happy with the fair. At last year’s fair, I found a new distributor from Australia and just started to sell our Pilo watches in the Australian market. In addition, I met a large buyer from Japan and successfully referred him to our Japanese distributor. I hope to find more potential distributors this year.”
Amarildo Pilo, President, Pilo & Co SA, Switzerland (booth: 3E-S03, Salon de TE)

“Established 25 years ago, we launched our Geya brand in 1993. Designed for white-collar consumers, our Geya watches feature fashionable and sporty styles. Currently, 85 per cent of our watches are sold on the Chinese mainland while the remaining 15 per cent are exported to 18 countries and regions. We have been exhibiting at the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair for more than 10 years to promote our Geya brand to international buyers. This year we’ll focus on developing the markets in Europe and the US. The Hong Kong fair provides the most effective channel for us to meet with quality buyers from all over the world. All of our overseas markets were developed through the fair. We’ll definitely return to the fair next year.”
Sha Linkai, General Manager, Switzerland Tianjun Clocks & Watches Int'l Group (H.K.) Limited, Hong Kong (booth: 1C-A02, Pageant of Eternity)
