Yema seduces China

February 2006


At a time when the People’s Republic of China is becoming the next key market in the luxury industry, Louis-Eric Beckensteiner, Chairman of the “Yema Maison Horlogère Française 1948” is seizing the opportunity to work with the PeaceMark Ltd holding (one of the main distributors of prestigious watch brands, with over 600 points of sale in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) to distribute the company’s collections.

With its 70 new models in the “Lab”, Création” and “Classique” lines, its totally French style and top-quality products, Yema has all the right attributes to seduce the Chinese population who, thanks to a huge rise in purchasing power over the last twenty years (nearly +9% on average per year), should represent a quarter of the global luxury market by the year 2015.

“Ovalie”: men’s chronograph, orange leather strap and black dial with orange counters (ref. FR 057)


The first steps of Yema Maison Horlogère Française 1948 in Asia mark the beginning of the young company’s international expansion, with a brand which is rediscovering its legendary success, carried by the desire and passion of its director and its staff and returning to the position the company well deserves.

This is a significant first stage, one year after the purchase of the Seiko Watch Corporation (brand, premises, stock, spare parts, client accounts and customer service) by Louis-Eric Beckensteiner (then former General Director of Yema SA) for one million euros.
