Invitation to
The 17th Asian Horological Trade and Industry Promotion Conference


The 17th Asian Horological Trade and Industry Promotion Conference organized by the China Horologe Association is to be held in Chongqing, China from October 17th to October 19th, 2008.

The Asian Horological Trade and Industry Promotion Conference, which started in 1971, is an international conference established for the purpose of promoting exchange of views and information among those involved in the horological industry (manufacturers, wholesalers, importers and retailers) in the Asian region. For the past 37 years, the Asian Horological Trade and Industry Promotion Conference was held by turns of seven Founding/Principal Associations every two years, and China Horologe Association hosted the 10th AHTIPC in September 1994 in Beijing. There were 289 participants from ten countries and regions present at the Conference. This is the second time for China Horologe Association to be honored to host the Conference since the first one 14 years ago. On behalf of China Horologe Association and the People's Municipal Government of Chongqing, I cordially invite all parties concerned to join in this historic and significant event for development and flourish of the industry.

Nowadays, the world is focusing on environmental protection and trade distribution, which poses an immense impact on the development of Asian horologe industry. The theme of the conference, therefore, is Environmental Protection Development Trend of Marketing Approach. We sincerely hope that the conference will provide a platform for participants to exchange views and information centred on the theme, and help all participants to advance their interests and needs.

During the Conference, we will invite you to tour the beautiful Yangtse River in Chongqing and the night view of Jialing River, as well as to enjoy the welcome dinner with the performance in Sichuan culture.

Sincerely welcome your presence at the 17th Asian Horological Trade and Industry Promotion Conference in Chongqing, China.



Thank you.
