 “With six watch shops and 30 points of sale in Bulgaria, Ru is an exclusive distributor of 10 watch brands from Finland, Japan, Switzerland and the UK. As we are planning to launch our own brand for fashion and classic watches next year, we have come here for the first time to look for OEM manufacturers. We have already identified about 10 potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. In addition, we are negotiating with a famous Japanese clock brand for the right to distribute their clocks in Bulgaria. At the fair, we find smart watches very interesting because they feature fitness and sleep time functions. Smart watches are new to Bulgarian consumers, so there’s still plenty of room for development. The Hong Kong fair is very interesting because the quality and designs provided by suppliers are good. We have made many useful contacts here, so we have decided to come again next year.”

 “Lazada is an e-commerce company which has offices in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. In Malaysia alone, Lazada has 1.1 million frequent shoppers. This is our first time visiting the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. We are looking for branded fashion watches in the retail price range of US$100-150 and low-priced fashion watches in the retail price range of US$50 or below. Due to low purchasing power, fashion watches priced at US$50 or below are our best-sellers. Young people find this price range more affordable and they like to change their watches to meet the latest fashion trends. At the fair, we have already found three potential suppliers of low-priced fashion watches from the Chinese mainland. Benefitted from the Belt and Road Initiative and the construction of a new port in Malacca, Malaysia is well-positioned to be a distribution hub in Southeast Asia, driving the growth of e-commerce in the region.”

 “House of Watches has two shops in Sweden, selling branded watches from Japan, Sweden and Switzerland. This is my second visit to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. The fair is getting better and better as compared to my last visit 12 years ago. It’s very well-organised. To support our business operations and after-sales service, I am here looking for parts and components, displays and shopping bags. So far, I have bought US$50,000 worth of straps and spare parts for after-sales service, as well as displays and shopping bags because of good quality and attractive prices. At the fair, exhibitors are busy negotiating with buyers and I always need to wait for target suppliers at their booths.”

 “Kapten & Son is a German brand for young people who like travelling and want to be unique. To make it into a brand for fashion accessories, Kapten & Son will expand its product range from watches and sunglasses to include leather goods. As Hong Kong is a distribution hub in Asia, the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair provides a good place for us to find distributors and business partners who can help us develop the Asian market. This is our first-time participation in the Hong Kong fair. We are happy to have made more than 30 new contacts from the Chinese mainland, Egypt, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan and Vietnam during the first two days of the fair. Many buyers visit our booth because they know our brand through social media. It is likely that we’ll form partnerships with buyers from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam. We’ll come back next year.”
Christopher Telley, Director of Asia, Kapten And Son Asia Pte Ltd, Singapore (booth: 3D-D44)
 “Established four years ago, KaHa is now among the top 10 technology companies in Singapore and has obtained investment from SPRING Singapore which is a government organisation responsible for helping Singapore enterprises grow. This is our first year at the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. We are showcasing one-stop smart watch solutions covering the production of smart modules, micro motors, PCBAs, mobile apps, cloud services and data analytics. Analog watches incorporating smart functions such as fitness and wellness, personal safety, and creating convenience in our daily lives are getting popular. Our one-stop solutions can help any watch brand in the world to create its own smart watches while retaining its cosmetic design and brand DNA. At the fair, about three to four buyers from the Middle East and South Africa have shown their intention to co-operate with us.”
Justin Tang, COO & Co-founder, KaHa Pte Ltd, Singapore (booth: 3G-C29)
 “Designed and made in France, Pierre Lannier watches are represented in 60 countries and regions. We have participated in the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair for more than 15 years and started to exhibit at Salon de TE since its debut in 2013. This year we have doubled the size of our booth and built up a custom-made booth with the help from the HKTDC. The custom-made booth looks very attractive and makes it easier to showcase the beauty of our watches and brand image and visibility to industry professionals. So far, we have talked to potential distributors from Australia, India, Israel and Japan. We have also met with some retailers from the Chinese mainland, Iran and South America and we’ll refer them to our distributors in respective countries. Hong Kong is a convenient place to do business. Buyers from the Philippines and Malaysia who know our brand before the fair have come here to sign distributor agreements. We are very satisfied with this year’s results.”
