Meanwhile on the ground, Time Products UK has struck airport partnerships with several retailers including King Power in Hong Kong, Eraman in Malaysia and Jakarta Duty Free with Aer Rianta International, as well as with Hyderabad Duty Free in India.

The following Sekonda ranges are new or expanded for 2024: Monica, Taylor, Margot, Moon Phase, Smart.

Sekonda says it is looking forward to engaging with its current regional customers, meeting new prospects and highlighting its latest range of watches to travel retail stakeholders in Singapore at its stand (Q11, level 1).

Myalee Sofield, Head of International, for Time Products UK, said: “Sekonda goes from strength to strength across our travel retail channel partners – from airlines and airports to new cruise listings.

“Sekonda has always had a great reputation in the Asia market and it is well positioned in the affordable luxury and fashion watch categories with a broad appeal for travellers all over the region.”
