The China Horologe Association announces the creation of The China Watch Overseas Working Committee as a formal committee nominated by the China Horologe Association. All four of the members of this new Committee have developed strong and mutually supportive ties with the China Horologe Association and its member collectors, companies, and executives.
The Committee is described in more detail in the translation Robin provided, seen below.
Committee members:
Ron Good (Canada), Founder of the Alberta Museum of Chinese Horology in Peace River (AMCHPR) (AlbertaTime/f72 moderator at WUS), and honorary member of the CHA.
Brad Green (USA), Founder of East Watch Review.
Boey Chern Yue (Singapore), Boey is a well-regarded and knowledgeable collector of VCMs and (especially) modern Beijing Watch Factory watches.
Robin Tallendier (France), Founder of Atelier Wen.
That's us…
The following are photos of the original plus a translation kindly provided by Robin.
In recent years, our domestic watch and clocks collection commission/group promoting domestic watch and clock collection witnessed that the enthusiasm of the overseas clock and watch collectors attention has been caused, and through their main website, they widely publicized Chinese clocks and watches products, supporting the development of domestic clocks and watches.
What they have done is advantageous for Chinese products' development in the world market, and they have received welcomes from the [Chinese] domestic watch and clock brands.
In order to integrate sources at home and abroad, and doing some further service for industry development, strengthening the construction of committee, and promoting the work effectively, we decided to establish an overseas working group. This decision was proposed by the domestic watch and clock group, and maintains the admission from the Office of Collection Commission.
I think I very safely speak for all four of us when I say that we're all honoured to be given this opportunity to work more directly with the Chinese watch industry, with the support and direction of the CHA.
I've been fortunate to meet the other members of this committee face-to-face while in China. On a personal note, I couldn't be happier to have this association with three very knowledgeable individuals.
