2001 Show Review

The 87th Session China Watch Jewellery Fair and The 12th Session Shenzhen International Watch Jewellery & Gifts Fair, abbreviated as The 2001 China (Shenzhen) Watch Jewellery & Gifts Fair, was held from April 25th to the 28th at the High-Tech Exhibition Center of Shenzhen, China.

The show had deployed 600 booths and a total floor area of 15,000 sq.m. It had pooled many of the brand-name watch and jewellery products from Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China mainland, as well as the related raw materials, parts and components, devices and tools, making it one of the best opportunities for overseas buyers to locate true manufacturers. Apart from its beautiful surroundings and convenient transport, China Shenzhen High-Tech Exhibition Center has also the most adequate high-tech management and service facilities, which has established a sound foundation for the success of the show.

The show has been dedicated to the promotion of new product development. It has taken realistic steps to combat plagiarism and infringement on rights to safeguard the international image of Chinese watch industries and to protect intellectual right. A "Fair Competition Committee" was set up, consisting of the industrial experts, senior personnel and legal counselors. A "Patent Products Show Area" was also allocated to strengthen the promotion of Chinese patent and brand-name products in the effort to fully display the research and design capacity of the Chinese timepiece industries.

The session of show had generated total transactions in the amount of RMB 463 million, and had received buyers 30,000 person-times, making it currently another influential professional show event secondary to only the Swiss Basel Show and the Hong Kong Watch Jewellery Show.
