Hot Sounds for Fun Evening

The Cocktail Reception for the HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair 2009 offered plenty of enjoyment and entertainment for industry leaders, VIP buyers and international media from all over the world, under the theme of "Broadway Glamour".

Fruitful Exchange with the Press

The HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair is the focus of attention for journalists from across the world as well as traders this week. At a breakfast meeting on Thursday, the visiting press members chatted with industry leaders, exhibitors and HKTDC management to exchange views and build relationships.

Inspiration to Hand

The Watch Parades held throughout the show period never fail to attract plenty of attention.

Hear What Buyers Say

"We operate 130 shops in Russia selling jewellery and branded watches, but we want to start our own brand name for the Russian and Czech Republic markets as well as sell wall clocks. I'm here to talk with existing suppliers about this project as well as find new suppliers. It's also been very interesting to see the new styles and trends here, such as the plastic watches which are very popular in our market."
Ms Anna Sergeeva, Projects Director, Magic Gold, Russia

"I am very impressed with this fair – it is definitely the one for professionals in the watch and clock industry. There is an amazing choice of products here; you can especially find many licensed watches with brands ranging from women's fashion names to kids' items."
Mr Zbigniew Labiś, Import Director, HH Poland SA, Poland

Hear What Exhibitors Say

"Zhangzhou is a key player in the production of quartz timepieces and movements worldwide. Our manufacturers take pride in the quality, original designs and product innovations. This year, we've organised the biggest-ever delegation with 28 companies participating in the fair. The fair is wonderful and provides a solid platform to raise Zhangzhou's profile and to facilitate our companies' international business expansion."
Mr Wang Yao Quan, Deputy Mayor, Zhangzhou Municipal People's Government, Chinese mainland

"I was a visitor to this fair myself for five years – in fact my new designs of watches, launched this April, are produced by Solar System International following contact I made with them here last year. The organisation of this fair is very good – the German office of the HKTDC has been very helpful in particular. This exhibition is doing everything to bring buyers and sellers together."
Mr Hulusi Borucu, General Manager, Gabtrade GmbH, Germany
