+THIS IMPRESSIVE RECORD HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY ABOUT
1 900 FACTORIES EMPLOYING ALMOST 42 000 PEOPLE PRODUCING AN IMPRESSIVE RANGE OF CONVENTIONAL, DIGITAL QUARTZ AND ANALOGUE QUARTZ WATCHES. IT IS A RECORD OF WHICH THOSE IN THE INDUSTRY CAN BE PROUD, HE REMARKED.
DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THIS YEAR, DOMESTIC EXPORTS OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS INCREASED BY 17 PER CENT OVER THE SIMILAR PERIOD LAST YEAR, TO A VALUE OF $3 600 MILLION.
+THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED DESPITE A NUMBER OF DIFFICULTIES WHICH HAVE HAMPERED TRADE, BUT I AM CONFIDENT THAT HONG KONG'S DYNAMIC AND RESOURCEFUL INDUSTRIALISTS WILL LEAD THE INDUSTRY TO CONTINUED EXPANSION AND THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ADAPT THEIR PRODUCTS TO SATISFY THE NEEDS OF THE CONTINUALLY CHANGING MARKET FOR WATHCES AND CLOCKS,+ MR YAXLEY SAID.
