 “Arista is a distributor and retailer of branded fashion watches and accessories, which operates three outlets and 15 concession stores in Singapore and 18 concession stores in Malaysia. When it comes to fashion watches, our customers prefer less-is-more designs, small case size, blue dials and tan or light brown leather straps. This is my second visit to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. I want to see what’s new for fashion watches, look for watch boxes and look at the possibility of creating our own brand. So far, I have identified two potential box suppliers and a few potential OEM manufacturers. I find Salon de TE very interesting and inspiring. I am particularly interested in two fashion watch brands from Australia and Hong Kong and I’ll consider bringing them to our markets. ”
Herman Osman, Managing Director, Arista Singapore Pte Ltd, Singapore
 “Concept Brands Group is the distributor of three watch brands including Still 19 and Tedlapidus from France and Patek Louis from Italy for GCC countries. My main objective of visiting the Hong Kong fair for the first time is to look for OEM manufacturers because we are also the licensed manufacturer for Still 19 and Patek Louis. I am happy to have found 10 potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland and I’ll place an order for 15,000-20,000 pieces for each brand. In GCC countries, high-end analog watches with stainless steel bands are sought after by ladies, while automatic watches with leather straps are favoured by men. The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair is a professional show because suppliers here are offering good quality, a great variety of designs and attractive prices. I can find exactly what I need here.”

 “Citizen uses metal parts to produce high-precision quartz analog watch movements and mechanical watch movements in Japan. As our major customers are watch manufacturers from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong who are also exhibitors of the annual Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, we have been participating in this fair for many years. As the largest event of its kind in the world, the fair provides a good opportunity for us to meet with many new and existing customers as well as importers and owners of watch brands from Europe and the US. It is also the ideal platform for us to showcase our new models and our latest technologies.”
Ryota Kawato, Manager, Movement Division Hong Kong Office, Citizen Watch Co., Ltd., Japan (booth: 1C-B20)
 “Dnx specialises in the design and production of IoT (Internet of Things) devices and smart watches. Earlier this year, we launched two watch brands, namely Qliq for digital smart watches and Carah for QA smart watches. Our smart watches come with functions such as SOS, GPS, fitness, SMS/email notifications, recording, selfie and phone finder. We are the first in the world to produce IoT devices which can connect with smart watches and we hope to expand into new markets. On the first day of the fair, I have talked to potential buyers from India, Russia and South America. A large company from India is likely to become our business partner.”
Steve Brown, Chief Marketing Officer, Dnx Co., Ltd., Korea (booth: 3G-C32)
