The HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and Salon de TIME – jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Limited and Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Limited – will run from 3 to 7 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Under the hybrid EXHIBITION+ model, an online exhibition will start in advance of the physical fairs on 27 August, continuing until 14 September to create more business opportunities for buyers and exhibitors.
A press conference on 29 August will introduce some eye-catching exhibits and a series of exciting events planned for this year’s fairs. Local industry representatives will also provide an overview of the market, including forecasts for sales and exports for the second half of 2024 and for 2025.
Exhibitors have developed some unique ideas and innovative products to increase sales. These include distinctive and personalised designs, integrating smart technology, collaborating with renowned international brands, creative cultural touches and using environmentally friendly materials.
The Watch & Clock Fair has long been an ideal platform for global buyers to source the latest products, while Salon de TIME showcases the latest watches from internationally renowned brands.
In response to industry demand, this year’s Salon de TIME will be open to buyers and the public on a complimentary basis for the first time.
Next Thursday’s press conference will also feature a dance performance incorporating 30 exquisite watches. Exhibitors welcome on-site media interviews to share their latest market strategies.
