When every minute counts |
|
Time is precious for all of us, but especially for buyers. As a sourcing hub, the HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair yields value in both quality and quantity, making it a rewarding experience in every sense of the word.
With 708 exhibitors from 17 countries and regions in 2009, it is the largest fair of its kind in the world. What this delivers for international buyers is the broadest range of choice, ranging from funky and fashionable designs, through high-tech and sports models, to classic and collectible timepieces.
The credentials of the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair have been established over 28 years of successful trading. Over 16,160 buyers from 94 countries and regions attended the 2009 fair.

Branded collections |
|
Brands are the drivers of the consumer market. Brand Name Gallery brings together a variety of brands with popular appeal. Over 100 brands from 13 countries and regions participated in the Gallery in 2009. In 2010, many of them will once again take up the raw space option, and their customised booths will enliven and beautify the zone.
Brand Name Gallery is open to the public on the last day of the fair, giving these brands the opportunity to enlarge their recognition and promote awareness of their new collections, with the benefits filtering down to trade buyers when these models are released to the public. |

Market intelligence |
|
The Fair plays a vital role in the industry by disseminating information on current market situations and future trends, as well as technological and design developments. The well-established Asian Watch Conference is a half-day event with a featured speaker who is internationally known and who is highly influential in the watch & clock industry.
The Hong Kong International Watch Forum, inaugurated at the 2009 fair, brings together the heads of world watch associations. With their global view and intimate knowledge of their own countries, these industry leaders have many important insights to share. |

| Timeless quality |
Pushing design boundaries |
|
|
| The Pageant of Eternity, which made its debut in 2009 with 260 exhibitors, highlights the beauty and the craftsmanship of exceptional timepieces. Their quality is emphasised by the elegance of the surroundings in which buyers may conduct business in comparative privacy. |
The display of winning entries in the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Design Competition is always viewed with interest as the creative talent of Hong Kong always contributes some very clever and daring ideas. For the 27th edition of the competition, in the Open Group, individual designers as well as companies will put forward designs based on the theme 'Change'. The Student Group will devise exciting watch or clock designs under the theme 'The GREEN Environmental Protection'. |

Hear what buyers say |

 "It is important for my company to always attend this fair because we have many suppliers from the Chinese mainland and we can keep in contact with them. It is also very helpful for finding new suppliers. This show is very impressive, with a great many options, not just in terms of actual models of watches but also different price ranges."
Mario J. Jucht, Purchaser, Casa Tinok S.R.L., Argentina
"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."
Anna Sergeeva, Projects Director, Magic Gold, Russia
