| Salon de TE Chandeliers Sponsored by: |
 |
|
“Renaissance Moment” turns the spotlight on classic and elegant watches originated in Europe which attracts brands such as Blauling (Switzerland), Cobra Paris (France), Eylsee (Germany) and Royal London (UK). |
 |
 |
Nature’s Beauties
This playful Swiss-made Timepiece, Hide & Seek, embellishes with 3D butterflies and flowering shrubs on the mother-of-pearl dial, featuring the off-centred watch design and touching up its elegance with lively elements. Boasting a Swiss-made Ronda quartz movement, it also offers a rose-gold-plated case with prong-set cubic zirconias on the bezel. |
 |
 |
Dazzling Design
Like the sunset shimmering its reddish/rose-coloured lights, the materials and the colours of this watch are perfectly matched. The dazzle of artificial diamonds resembles the stars in the sky, revealing elegance and purity and touching our hearts. |
 |
 |
Eternal Charm
The watch with sophisticated and pure lines carries through the French elegance of COBRA PARIS. This model ultra feminine with pearly dial decorated by stones asserts its timeless character. |
 |
 |
Elegant Conceptions
"SITHON” - the name of ELYSEE’s refined model. The high-end, stainless steel case and the dome-shaped, anti-reflective mineral lens are particularly striking. The watch is extremely elegant, perfect for special occasions. “SITHON” has two versions - stainless steel and gold-plated stainless steel. It uses high-quality Citizen/Miyota multi-functional calibre, with a very rare configuration. The 24-hour time display and the date are in reverse position. Its fine calf leather strap is a pleasure to wear. |
 |
 |
A Trendy Icon
Mini Cooper is the watch for consumers who are looking for DNA of the brand as Mini Cooper is not only a simple watch but also a watch with stylish and trendy icon.
Swiss-made watches further authenticate the brand’s commitment to quality and finest craftsmanship. Moreover, the series of colours and the execution that echoe with the car, Mini Cooper watches deliver a fashionable icon to the worldwide fans and valued consumers. |

 “Astron is an importer and wholesaler supplying a wide range of watches and clocks to 300 retailers in Hungary and also runs two watch and clock outlets. I have been visiting the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair for many years. Online sourcing can’t do everything. I prefer visiting watch and clock trade fairs like the Hong Kong fair in order to make personal contacts, see how new products work and study the market trends. At this year’s fair, I am interested in low-priced and medium-end watches and clocks because the high-end watch market in Hungary is relatively small. The Hong Kong fair provides a very good platform for me to keep contacts with quality suppliers.”
Tamas Balogh, Manager, Astron Kft. Hungary, Hungary
 “With 21 outlets in Jordan, we are a leading retailer and wholesaler of branded watches. Currently, we are distributing 25 international brands to 70 clients in Jordan. We plan to launch our own brand in the beginning of 2015. It’s my first time visiting the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. I am here looking for reliable OEM manufacturers who can help us to produce fashion watches and sporty watches for our own brands. So far, I have found two potential suppliers from Hong Kong. It’s a well-organised show with a lot of choices. I’ll come again next year.”
Fareed Samara, Deputy General Manager, Time Center, Jordan

 “Adriatica has been producing high-quality watches in Switzerland for more than 80 years. Today, Adriatica is an internationally recognised brand represented in 35 countries and regions all over the world. It’s our fifth time exhibiting at the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. We hope to find more distributors in Asia through this fair. At the previous Hong Kong fairs, we successfully established cooperation with two business partners who are working closely with us to develop the markets in Hong Kong and Vietnam. Vietnam has become one of our biggest markets. The Hong Kong fair provides the best channel for us to find new customers in Asia.”
Thomas T. Swiderski, Director, Adriatica PR&A Watch Sagl, Switzerland
 “Our Giovanni Galassi brand is making its first appearance at this year’s Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. This new brand features stainless steel watches with 5ATM water resistance, chronograph and two or three time display. We are looking for exclusive distributors at this fair. Apart from launching Giovanni Galassi watches, we are also showcasing fashion watches under our in house brand, Marie Lourdes. Buyers like our eye-catching and colourful booth design. We have met with new buyers from Europe, the Middle East and South America. We are still in discussion with potential distributors and we hope to develop long-term business relationships with them after the fair.”
