Organisers are bringing new elements and themes to this year’s gathering.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<p>Under the EXHIBITION+ hybrid mode, the physical fair will run from 5 to 9 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Salon de TE will open its doors to both industry buyers and the public on the final two days (8 and 9 September). From 29 August to 16 September, exhibitors and buyers from across the world can engage in online and offline meetings through the AI-powered Click2Match smart business-matching platform.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Globally significant fair</h3>



<p>According to Sophia Chong, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, the globally renowned Hong Kong Watch &amp; Clock Fair has consistently served as an effective platform for the industry to secure orders and establish business connections. This is especially the case given the fact that Hong Kong remains the world’s largest wristwatch import market and the second-largest wristwatch export market, following Switzerland, she highlighted.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Chong also pointed out that the Hong Kong Watch &amp; Clock Fair exhibits are more diversified this year to serve changing industry needs. “This year also welcomes a first-time exhibitor from Greece and Dubai, and will feature Guangdong, Guangzhou and Taiwan pavilions, hoping to create business opportunities for the industry,” she said.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The Hong Kong Watch &amp; Clock Fair includes several key zones. The Pageant of Eternity zone showcases OEM and ODM high-end complete watches. Other product zones cover clocks, machinery and equipment, parts and components, packaging, and trade services.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Built in 1988 on reclaimed land off Gloucester Road is one of the two major convention and exhibition centres in Hong Kong, the other being AsiaWorld-Expo.
