| Hear What Buyers Say |
“Mitron is a wholesaler of watches and clocks that we buy from Hong Kong and China and supply to 1,300 customers in Austria and Germany. This is my eighth visit to this fair. I am always on the look out for new suppliers and new ideas, and this event is a good chance to see new styles of watches. This year it has been very interesting and I have found new suppliers and products, especially LCD watches; I will follow up after the fair and place some orders. I am very satisfied with the experience. I had some meetings set up in advance of the fair, which is very convenient, while other suppliers I found just by looking around when I got here.”
Martin Heinle, Managing Director, Mitron Watch GmbH, Germany
“We are a 12-year-old company with six boutiques selling luxury watches and jewellery, and a distribution network supplying lower-price watches to retailers throughout the Ukraine. This is my first visit to this show. At present, most of our watches are classic Swiss designs, but we want to find new ideas and more interesting watches for our distribution business. I have seen many products that are suitable for us here, with good quality, from a variety of suppliers including those from the Chinese mainland and Japan. I have collected many catalogues and business cards that I will take back to the Ukraine for consideration. I am confident that we will do business as a result of my visit. I like this fair – the organisation is good.”
Pavel Kagal, Head of Distribution, Les Montres Suisses

“Every Alexis Garin watch is unique, and is personalised for each customer. Each piece is completely hand-made in Switzerland. At the present, our customer base is in Europe, US, Russia and North Africa. This is our first time to attend this show. Hong Kong is a world business capital and so we believe it is the right place to take our first step into Asia, most particularly the Chinese mainland. Our challenge here at the fair is not so much to sell watches but to introduce the brand and its concept of unique timepieces. We have had a lot of media interest on the first day, and we are confident we will make good connections with buyers not just from the mainland but from Arab countries, too, as we see a lot of buyers from these markets here. The organisation of the fair is excellent – its professional capabilities are amazing.”
Fabrice Pancini, CEO, Alexis Garin, Switzerland
"We integrate consumer electronics into watches – among our models are watches that are also fully functioning cell phones, video recorders, cameras, alcohol testing kits, infrared thermal testing, and MP3 and MP4 players. This concept has allowed us to utilise new sales channels such as electronics stores. We are exhibiting here to show off our capabilities and to gain market recognition. It is also a useful tool for gauging the reactions of the watch industry to these new functional watches. We want to talk to as many people as possible from markets all around the world – we believe we can not only find new opportunities for ourselves but also provide new business opportunities for them, too. The Brand Name Gallery is very appropriate for this – HKTDC has put a lot of effort into this zone, with its facilities such as the meeting rooms, the wine cellar and the décor."
Wayne Leung, Managing Director, Faze In Limited, Hong Kong
