 “Established in 1975, our company is the sole agent of Casio and Titan in Egypt. This is my fourth time visiting the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and the Salon de TE. I am looking for fashion brands, smart watches, quartz movements and spare parts. For fashion watches, I am interested in two brands from Hong Kong and the Netherlands respectively because of their designs and quality. I hope to bring at least one new fashion brand to the Egyptian market. My order will be 1,000-2,000 pieces. For quartz movements, I have talked to three leading suppliers and my team will provide our specifications to them for further negotiations. I am still looking for a suitable supplier of smart watches. As compared to my last visit four years ago, I find that the Hong Kong fair is more well-organised and brings together more exhibitors. It is a nice fair.”
Mohamed A. Moniem Khalifa, Chairman, Cairo Trading, Egypt |
 “Dijiran is a distributor of Japanese and Swiss branded watches and fashion watches in Iran. This is my eighth time visiting the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and the Salon de TE. The twin shows provide a good place for me to look for new brands and to connect with my existing business partners who are also exhibiting here. I have placed orders for US$25,000 worth of watches offered by Adriatica, Pierre Lannier and Toms at the fair, and I plan to buy US$5,000 worth of Jacques Farel watches after the fair. I have also found six potential suppliers of smart watches through the HKTDC’s business matching service and I plan to buy 1,000 pieces from one of these new suppliers. I like the Hong Kong fair and Salon de TE because I can find everything that I need here – from parts and components to brandname watches and fashion watches.”
Ali Ahmadi, CEO, Dijiran, Iran |

 “Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) from Switzerland has brought seven European brands including Robert Bray-Sinclair Harding to the Salon de TE for the first time. Established in 1967, Sinclair Harding (UK) Ltd has been famous for making long-case clocks and skeleton clocks. As an engineer in the aerospace and defense sector, I bought this company 39 years ago when the two founders retired and closed their business. My company now focuses on making skeleton clocks which are exported mainly to Germany. By participating in the Salon de TE, I am keen to look for high-end retailers in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the best place to be another Basel World for AHCI members as it is six months away from the Basel World. We see a lot of potential for AHCI members in this region. The location is good and we are happy with the organiser, so we hope to set up a bigger booth next year and bring more AHCI members to the Salon de TE.”
Robert Bray, Managing Director, Sinclair Harding (UK) Ltd, the UK (booth: 3D-B41) |
 “We have been exhibiting at the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair for about 10 years. This is the second consecutive year that we are showcasing our two brands, namely Danish Design and Jacob Jensen at the Salon de TE. Danish Design features Scandinavian lifestyle and feelings while Jacob Jensen is more design-oriented. We are happy to have met with more high-quality buyers this year. We have been very busy talking to new buyers. We have found potential distributors from Malaysia and Singapore. We have also talked to large retailers from Australia and Indonesia and referred them to our distributors in these two countries. Moreover, about six to seven existing distributors have placed orders for our new models at the show. The Salon de TE provides a perfect platform for us to promote our brands and to connect with buyers especially from Southeast Asia. It is very great for us to be here.”
