Hong Kong Watch Market Review



Hong Kong is the major Export market for Swiss Watches  as  it takes up 13.3%  for May 2015 shipment.

How does it behave in the past 12 months?

We could see downturn in volume of watches less than 200 francs , however other segment recorded steeper declines are those more than 3,000 francs.  China has tightened expenses control for all government officials, especially entertainment and “fake entertainment”!

These scenes are not able to occur again:

“Pack these 6 Daytonas, Do you accept Cash!?”

“Give me all different colour of this Ferragamo!”

“Give me that 50 years Mou Tai of RMB500,000!?”

A sharp decline was seen in these few months, some of the high rental Rolex AD shops would be closed down soon.

Steel watch as the majority of all types which Declined 11.9 percent in May amongst all Gold, Two Tone, others.

Patek has reduced 20% of all his watches in 10 Feb, and staring from 1 July they will increase 7 % across all models:

US, UK (price unchanged)

Canada ( Increase, yet to confirm how many percent)

Switzerland (+7%)

EU (+4%)

HK (+7%)

Japan (+6%)

China Market

Imagine that Mitsukoshi and Izetan has Mandarin PA announcement in Japan!?

All major Luxury watches catalogues is printed in Chinese Patek Philippe Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin.

Still we can see some for the China superrich pays HK$5M for a watch, but is uncommon now. They would like to fly to Switzerland shopping there.

Most of the Watch Boutiques  now are inviting local watch collectors to join their event and function. At least they want to get hold of the basic buyers in HK when 80% rich Chinese customers are gone.

Price is key issues as all know that the shopless grey dealer is importing the same watch at less 20 to 30% off whereas we have only limited discount for 5 % to 10% depending on brands model at AD shops.

The recent Patek price adjustment is likely a leverage adjustment to offset the profit loss of last 20% price reduction back in 10 February.

Toyota warranties each new Toyota vehicle sold by Crown Motors Ltd (CML) and registered in Hong Kong for the first 36 months or 100,000 km (whichever comes first).

Rolex will launch a 5 years (60 months) warranty program on your watch purchase!

This is a big game to those other luxury watch as they have to consider the long term support capability including coverage, service skill, handling capacity.

Some of the Service of luxury brand had already been suffering with insufficient local locally in the repair and maintenance. Have you heard of an Overhaul of a Perpetual Calendar take 1 year!?

Next Time when you visit Europe, check the price and may be you can get a good deal.

Or Buy from Trustable Local Dealer for the model you like

Buy low is the policy, it is the time.

James Tien's watch

James Tien has been wearing Rolex date just stainless steel for more ten years.

I have observed that James has been going with Patek Philippe Nautilus recently.

This is his show up in yesterdsy's City Forum at Victoria Park.

No matter Rolex or Patek Philippe, I think that they are fully qualified  James' requirement as watch for everyday.

Pink

If pink is your favorite color, you are loving, kind, generous and sensitive to the needs of others.

You are friendly and approachable with a warmth and softness others are drawn to.

You are very much in touch with your femininity, with a personality color pink, you have a maternal instinct. It is confirmed as my daughter is both a fan of Pink and crazes on materialism.

Romantic and sensual and sensitive is not too sure as I have met some of the women is in the exception.

You have a youthful appearance, even into old age, looking younger than you really are, even to the point of looking dainty, frail and vulnerable.

The challenge for you is to become more self-reliant and to learn to love yourself.

I have such an acquaintance with lover of this Beautiful colour.

A lady wearing whole set of outfit of Juicy Girl in Pink, Carry a Pink Chanel and a pink Gucci shoes..>WOW<, it dazzled my eyes!

Jay Chou has been one of the successful actors going into Hollywood, the Green Hornet!? How do you compare the side kick of Jay and Bruce Lee in the similair moves 40 years ago?

Well, Hannah Quinlivan was a hostess, model, actress and is now Jay’s wife.

A limited edition Rimowa Salsa in Pearl Rose, pink Dior Addict tote Bag and Cartier Santos 100 Limited Edition in Pink.

 

Someone say mannequins had to be beheaded such that people will focus on the costumes on it.

However I am still thinking a good beautiful full body Mannequins would really reflects embellishment  of the dress. A green leaves for a pink blossom, they go together.
