 “We operate one of the largest B2C online watch stores in the Chinese mainland. Our online store (www.wbiao.cn) offers medium-end, high-end and fashion watches which are imported from European countries such as France, Germany and Switzerland. We visit the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair regularly because it is a perfect platform for us to see new products, do business and meet both new and existing suppliers. We are particularly interested in innovative designs offered by the Swiss Independent Watchmaking Pavilion and the Swiss Eminence Pavilion which make their debut at this year’s fair. We are keen to cooperate with famous brands such as David Van Heim, Pilo & Co, Rebellion and Rodania, and further negotiations will be conducted after the fair. Our trial order will be 100-200 pieces. If customers’ responses are good, our repeat order will be 500 pieces.”
Sam Chen, Director of Brands, Guangzhou Woqi MDT InfoTech Ltd, the Chinese mainland

 “Alyasra Fashion operates more than 100 shops in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, selling apparel, watches, jewellery and shoes. This is my first-time visit to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. I am here looking for low-end to high-end fashion brands and hope to bring their watches to our markets because watches have become fashion accessories for our customers. On the first day of the fair, I have found one high-end fashion brand for our markets. I am going to meet with eight suppliers of reasonably priced fashion brands on the second day of the day because consumers in Saudi Arabia prefer this kind of watches. The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair is a good fair which brings together quality suppliers and nice products. I’ll try to come every year.”
Biju Cherian, Head-Brand Management, Watches Division, Alyasra Fashion, Kuwait |
 “Established two years ago, our company specialises in wearable tech watches under our innoWear brand. It is our second time exhibiting at Salon de TE. At last year’s fair, we showcased our designs, but we didn’t have our own production. As our design and quality are good, we had found distributors from Australia, Europe, India, Hong Kong and the US through the fair. Our products were launched in Hong Kong in July and will enter the Indian market this month and the American and European markets by the end of this year. We have returned to Salon de TE this year to showcase three new collections and to look for new partners. In just a few hours after the opening of the fair, we have received good responses and found five potential distributors from Europe, India and the US.”

 “We are a watch manufacturer and retailer in Singapore. Our Aries Gold watches are assembled with Swiss or Japanese movements and Chinese parts and components in Singapore. This is our third year participating in Salon de TE to promote our brand, to increase our exposure and to expand globally. Before joining the fair in 2013, our watches were sold in Singapore only. Through Salon de TE, we have successfully expanded into 24 countries and regions in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Portugal. At this year’s fair, our main goal is to develop emerging markets in Southeast Asia such as Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar because we see great potential for our watches in these markets. Salon de TE provides an ideal trading platform for us to achieve this objective.”
