Watch World has been established at IJT to meet the demand, from the growing number of watch exhibitors and participants at IJT, for a comprehensive watch venue. This special exhibit zone will feature everything from high-end watches, jewellery watches, antique watches, fashionable watches and all the related products and services from all over the world.

Watch World highly anticipated as the best venue for expanding business into Asia’s growing markets
Japan boasts a growing market for watches. Strong sales are driving increasing imports, with the number of imported mechanical watches, in particular, showing outstanding growth each year. Other Asian economies are also seeing strong growth in the demand for watches and, as a result, more and more companies from outside Japan are utilizing IJT to source overseas watch brands to introduce to their growing markets. As many leading watch retailers and department stores visit IJT on a yearly basis to make purchases, watch exhibitors have reported great success in meeting new clients at IJT. Now with the commencement of Watch World, further success is guaranteed as exhibitors and serious buyers converge in one specific area dedicated entirely to watches.
