Make Connections in World''s Top Timepiece Showcase
There is nothing quite like face-to-face contact to oil the wheels of business. The opportunity to introduce new products in detail, promote brand names and company image, and develop relationships with buyers is not to be missed. Nowhere else in the timepiece industry presents a platform as effective as the HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair - the largest watch and clock fair show in the world.

The 2010 edition attracted a total of 700 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions; they covered the spectrum of the industry, including complete watches and clocks, parts, components, equipment, machinery, packaging and display, retail supplies and technologies, and trade-related services.

Premium display
Consumers in mature and emerging markets see watches very much as fashion accessories these days, matching them to different outfits and different occasions, including work, sport, travel and partying. Similarly, consumers are looking for clocks that fit in with the interior design of their homes. Top-notch design is of utmost importance in these categories.

Since its debut in 2009, Pageant of Eternity, the premium zone for displaying high-end complete watches, has further enhanced the ambiance of the fair. The combination of top-of-the market timepieces and handsome décor contribute to the upscale settings, attracting buyers looking for something special. The zone is dedicated to custom-built participants and deluxe booth exhibitors who wish to display outstanding timepieces of impeccable quality and exceptional craftsmanship. Among the big names making the most of these opportunities at the 2010 edition were A-Dong Industrial Co., Ltd., o.d.m. Design & Marketing Ltd., Renley Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd., SMB SAS, Time Module (H.K.) Ltd., Tsinlien Horologia Co., Ltd. and Zeon Far East Ltd..

The annual Asian Watch Conference will feature presentations by influential figures in the world of watch & clock design and manufacture. In addition, the integral Hong Kong International Watch Forum will bring together various key industry players and association heads, who will share their insight in several thought-provoking sessions.
