The Asian Horological Trade & Industry Promotion Conference (AHTIPC) serves as a vital regional network and exchange platform for the Asian horological industry, bringing together industry leaders and key stakeholders from across the region to discuss trends, advance technological exchange, and deepen collaboration. Since its inception, AHTIPC has been dedicated to promoting the growth of the Asian watch industry, encouraging the application of advanced manufacturing technology, fostering dialogue among members, and solidifying regional partnerships. Over the years, AHTIPC has evolved into one of the largest and most influential horological conferences in Asia, and The Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Ltd. is truly honored to host this landmark event this year.
Under the overarching theme "Future Horology: Smart Technology Driving Industry Upgrading," this year's conference focuses on four key pillars: Smart Manufacturing (leading automation and intelligent production), Precision Technology (advancing high-precision engineering and movement design), Digital Transformation (empowering business and data elevation for traditional watchmakers), and Innovative Design (exploring the future of timepieces through the integration of technology and modern aesthetics).
