Hear What Buyers Say


“24TIME.CZ is an e-tailer of designer watches and fashion watches in the Czech Republic. A total of 30 watch brands from Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and the US are sold through our online store. I am planning to launch my own brand for design watches. At the fair, I am looking for new brands and OEM manufacturers who can produce designer watches under my own brand. So far, I have found two interesting brands from Germany and Hong Kong and also identified six to seven potential OEM manufacturers. I see a lot of potential for analog watches which come with the functions of smart watches, so I’ll consider bringing this kind of watches to our market. The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair is the right place for me to look for OEM manufacturers because the fair brings together so many suppliers. It’s important for me to come here to have face-to-face meetings with them rather than communicating with them via Internet.”
David Hriech, Co-founder, 24TIME.CZ, Czech Republic

“Shinsegae is the No. 1 department store in Korea and we’ll increase the number of outlets from 13 currently to 25 by 2023. Our outlets are selling luxury watches which come from 20 European brands. This is my first visit to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair to look for branded watches. I find Salon de TE very amazing because it is a good place for me to see many watch brands and I like its beautiful decorations. The fair also provides a good opportunity for me to see the latest watch trends. I am interested in three to four brands from Italy and Switzerland which have not entered the Korean market yet. Korean people like to exchange watches when they get married, so the demand for luxury watches in the retail price range of US$5,000-US$10,000 is steady. They favour European luxury brands which feature exquisite craftsmanship and show the status of the wearers.”
Ethan, HB Kim, International Luxury Fashion Buyer, Shinsegae, Korea

“Anpassa is renowned for producing custom-made tourbillon watches. As the largest fair of its kind in the world, the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair provides a great place for us to show our hard work over the past year. At this year’s fair, we are showcasing a new collection of tourbillon watches adopting sports car as the main theme. Inspired by sports cars made from carbon fiber, we think that carbon fiber is a light and impact-resistant material which is good for making tourbillon sports watches. Up till now, we have found potential business partners from Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. Regarding the product trends, smartphones or smart watches cannot replace our custom-made watches which are unique in the market. For young customers aged 25-35, we offer bespoke digital watches under the idée brand which are more affordable to them. Our Anpassa jewellery tourbillon watches and mechanical watches appeal to mature customers aged 45-60.”

“This is our first-time participation in the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. We are keen to introduce Audaz watches to international buyers. Launched last year, Audaz focuses on high-quality watches which can be worn during different occasions such as outdoor activities and formal occasions. Our watches come with Japanese movements, stainless steel cases and stainless steel or silicone bands. Currently, we have distributors for the US market and some of the Asian markets. We have made some useful contacts such as a large distributor from Australia and a large buyer from the Chinese mainland who is looking for a new opportunity to enter the watch business. The Hong Kong fair provides an important channel for us to make new contacts from all over the world.
Jose San Antonio, International Business Development Manager, Big Time Rush Ltd, Hong Kong (booth: 3D-B44)
