ISSUE 4

Don't Miss Out - Only 2 Days Remain!

Perfect Sourcing Platform
The HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair attracts quality buyers from around the world. They find this the perfect platform, where they not only have the opportunity to source from a large number of top-notch manufacturers, but will also be updated on the latest product developments and market intelligence as well.


Hear What Buyers Say
"I wanted to reintroduce watches to the pearl and semi-precious jewellery collections I produce, and I¡¦ve already found a brand at this fair that will be perfect for the New Zealand market ¡V sporty, stylish, very eye-catching. This show is very professional ¡V people are extremely helpful and it is easy to communicate with them. It is the most accessible watch event for Australia and New Zealand; as these countries enjoy an open trade agreement with the Chinese mainland, many enterprises are used to dealing with suppliers in Hong Kong and the mainland."
Ms Susi Chinnery-Brown, Director, Twentyfive 7 Ltd, New Zealand

"This show is the main Asian sourcing platform for the industry, attended by all the major mainland Chinese suppliers. We already have many partners in China and I use this fair for meeting with them. I can also make new contacts here as well as get familiar with new trends and designs in the market."
Mr Alexander M. Skripnik, General Manager, Sky Time, Russia


Hear What Exhibitors Say
"Our Small brand of watches is entirely produced and painted by hand and designed to be worn in three ways: on the wrist, in the pocket and on a necklace. My customers are mainly European, but we¡¦ve come to this show for the first time because we will find Asian buyers here. I believe the new generation of Asian consumers likes fashionable Italian products."
Ms Mariarosa Fantoni, President, The New Art Di Mariarosa Fantoni, Italy

"Sea-gull Tsinlien is the biggest movement manufacturer in Hong Kong and many of our customers are also exhibiting here, so it is a good place to meet and communicate with them and find out about new developments in the business. We¡¦ve met many buyers from all over the world this year, including Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Japan, the US and Southeast Asia."
Mr Wang Wenxuan, Tsinlien Horologia Co., Ltd., Hong Kong
