Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair 2025: 10 French Brands Gathered Under the France Pavilion

The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair will open its doors from September 3 to 7, 2025, bringing together key international players from the watch industry. For this new edition, Francéclat will highlight the diversity and creativity of French watchmaking through a 100 m² France Pavilion, showcasing 10 brands with distinctive identities — from heritage houses and contemporary creators to technical expertise specialists.

A collective presence to proudly showcase French watchmaking and its art of living, both in Asia and on the international stage.

Watchmaking icons between heritage and innovation
Herbelin, LIP, and Yema embody the beating heart of French watchmaking. All three are independent and deeply rooted in their regions, perpetuating a tradition of precision and design while embracing a modern dynamic. Herbelin champions family-owned, Jura-based watchmaking — elegant, timeless, and committed to quality, durability, and craftsmanship. Founded in 1867, LIP continues to democratize watchmaking elegance with reinterpreted iconic models that reflect French audacity and technical ingenuity. Based in Morteau, Yema caters to professionals and adventure enthusiasts with high-precision watches designed locally and equipped with in-house movements.

Creative and independent lifestyle brands
Briston and Montignac reflect the spirit of contemporary and creative French watchmaking, with bold stylistic choices and a desire for accessibility. Briston stands out with its sport-chic, non-conformist style, featuring acetate cases and distinctive designs like the Clubmaster and Streamliner. Montignac targets an urban audience with modern automatic watches featuring skeleton dials and bold cases for a resolutely contemporary look.

French-style feminine elegance
Clyda and Pierre Lannier celebrate femininity with watches designed as true fashion accessories, blending tradition and refinement. Born in Franche-Comté, Clyda embraces multifaceted femininity with classic, romantic, or contemporary styles — always accessible and elegant. Pierre Lannier, a family-owned Alsatian brand, combines watchmaking know-how and creativity to create collections that merge elegance, quality, and style.

First-time exhibitors at the fair
Kelton and Orlam are making their debut at the Hong Kong fair, bringing a fresh perspective to French watchmaking. Kelton, a cult Franco-American brand, infuses its French-designed collections with a pop and vintage spirit, blending nostalgia and artistic collaborations. Orlam, a young brand with a minimalist aesthetic, advocates for accessible, sustainable, and purpose-driven watchmaking, with models conceived as lifelong companions.

Strap-making expertise
The Pavilion also welcomes Rochet Group, France’s leading watch strap manufacturer. With over a century of expertise, the group supports watch brands with tailor-made solutions crafted in France and distributed in more than 45 countries.
