An Indian Soulmate at the Hong Kong Exhibition: From a Shout to a December Appointment

In the bustling exhibition halls of the Hong Kong fair, crowds surged, and various booths competed for attention. Our watch booth was designed with simplicity and elegance, showcasing a variety of customized models. On the second afternoon of the exhibition, I noticed a lively guest glancing at our booth a few times, seemingly interested in customized watches, but not coming in.

I mustered my courage and said in my most infectious voice, "Minimum order of 50 pieces, specializing in customized watches. Are you interested in customized watches? We can provide personalized designs according to your needs!""It was as if those words held magic. He stopped, turned, and walked towards our booth, a curious smile on his face.

"Can you really do fully customized watches?" he asked in English with an Indian accent, a professional gleam in his eyes.

And so, we began our first interesting conversation. I learned that he was from India and was looking for unique watch styles to supply high-end clients. He carefully examined our styles and designs, particularly drawn to our quartz watches.""These designs are both beautiful and minimalist, perfectly in line with modern aesthetics," he commented, picking up a classic round-faced watch and examining it closely.

"Based on our understanding of the Indian market, I recommended our diamond-studded quartz collection. Diamond-studded styles are very popular in the Indian market, especially for weddings and important gift-giving occasions," I explained.

He was clearly knowledgeable about diamonds, asking professional questions about everything from cut to clarity. He carefully inspected the diamond setting on our watches and said, "Your setting craftsmanship is exquisite, and the fire of the diamonds is also very good."As our conversation deepened, we found that despite the language barrier, we communicated surprisingly smoothly through gestures, drawings, and a calculator. I introduced him to our company's 19-year history, showed him photos and videos of our factory, and emphasized our quality control system and customization capabilities.

"We have our own watch factory, which means we have complete control over the production process and quality," I said proudly, while showing him samples of watches we had customized for other international clients.

To his surprise, we were even able to draw design sketches on the spot according to his requirements.Our designers quickly sketched out several watch designs incorporating Indian elements using tablets.
 

"Amazing!" he exclaimed. "You can really produce design drafts in such a short time?"

I smiled and explained, "That's the advantage of having our own factory. Our design team works closely with the production team, allowing us to respond quickly to customer needs."

After more than two hours of in-depth discussion about watch, he was clearly developing a sense of trust in us. "I'm surprised you understand my needs so professionally," he said sincerely. "I rarely encounter such professional watch suppliers at exhibitions.""As we parted, I sincerely invited him to visit our company and factory in Shenzhen. 'Shenzhen is very close to Hong Kong.' He accepted the materials and said with a slight apology, "Thank you very much for your invitation, but I currently have many things to take care of in my country, so I regret that I cannot go now. But perhaps in December, I will be in China then."

Hearing this promise, my heart filled with anticipation: "We will prepare more designs that suit the Indian market, especially diamond-studded styles that incorporate Indian cultural elements, and await your visit."

As he left, we not only exchanged contact information but also tentatively identified several styles for potential collaboration."Standing before the booth, watching his figure disappear into the crowd, I felt that this exhibition had achieved unexpected success. Not just because of the potential orders, but more so because of the professional trust and friendship built across cultures and languages. This sudden connection fills me with anticipation for our meeting in December, and I've already started planning how to showcase more exquisite watch designs that blend Chinese and Indian cultures for him.
