  4. AIAirwheel Robot Cabin Suitcase Launched - World's First Full-Smart Luxury 20inch Electric Carry-on Hand Rideable AI Wheel LuggageBRUSSELS, BELGIUM, Sept 7, 2026 - Airwheel Unveils Next-Generation AI Suitcases with Electric Riding, Smart Connectivity and Cabin-Ready Design. As intelligent mobility and connected technology continue to reshape everyday life, the traditional suitcase is entering a new stage of evolution. Airwheel, a brand focused on intelligent mobility and smart travel solutions, is bringing electric drive systems, intelligent controls, connected functions and premium design into the luggage category, creating a new generation of AI Suitcase and Smart Suitcase products for modern travelers. For decades, innovation in luggage has largely focused on improving wheels, handles, materials and storage. Airwheel is taking a different approach by making the suitcase an active part of the journey. Through integrated electric mobility and intelligent control technologies, the brand is transforming luggage from something travelers simply pull into something that can actively move with them. From Pulling Luggage to Riding Suitcase Airwheel's intelligent luggage is built around a simple idea: technology should reduce effort rather than create additional complexity. By integrating electric drive systems into its luggage platform, Airwheel enables users to ride with their suitcases through airports, railway stations, hotels and other travel environments. This evolution from conventional luggage to a Rideable Suitcase is designed to make long walks, transfers and busy travel environments more manageable. The latest Airwheel SE3SXD takes this concept further with a one-touch riding system. With a simple press, the electric front wheel automatically deploys while the intelligent handle rises into position, allowing users to transition from pulling mode to riding mode with minimal effort. The riding speed can reach 9.9 km/h, while the retractable motorized front-wheel structure increases the wheelbase during riding to help improve stability and control across everyday surfaces, including indoor floors, sidewalks, speed bumps and moderate inclines. For Airwheel, the objective is not simply to create an Electric Suitcase that can be ridden, but to make intelligent mobility more intuitive and accessible in real-world travel scenarios. The Airwheel SE3SXD — A Flagship AI Luxury Suitcase Designed for Intelligent Travel As the flagship model in Airwheel's latest intelligent travel portfolio, the Airwheel SE3SXD brings together electric mobility, intelligent interaction, connected travel functions and premium luggage design in a single platform. The SE3SXD is designed around the idea that a modern suitcase should do more than carry belongings. Its one-touch riding system allows the electric front wheel to deploy automatically while the intelligent telescopic handle rises into position, creating a simplified transition from conventional luggage to rideable mobility. With a riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h, the SE3SXD is designed to help travelers move more efficiently through large airports, railway stations, hotels and urban environments. The retractable electric front-wheel structure extends the wheelbase during riding, helping provide a more stable riding experience while maintaining a compact profile when the suitcase is used in conventional pull mode. Its intelligent functions further distinguish the SE3SXD from traditional luggage. Through the dedicated Airwheel smart app, users can access riding-related controls and information, including speed adjustment, battery status, mileage, remote telescopic control and personalized lighting effects. Selected smart functions are designed to make the suitcase easier to monitor and customize according to different travel preferences. The SE3SXD also supports Apple Find My functionality, allowing compatible users to locate their suitcase through the Find My app. This adds a practical layer of connected luggage management, particularly in crowded airports, stations and other environments where keeping track of personal belongings can be challenging. Power management is another important part of the experience. The SE3SXD is equipped with a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery, with a modular design that allows the battery to be removed when required for transportation or security procedures. The suitcase body combines ABS+PC composite materials with a reinforced aviation-grade aluminum frame, providing structural support while maintaining a premium appearance. Together with its intelligent mobility system and connected functions, the SE3SXD represents Airwheel's vision of an AI Suitcase that combines practical technology with the expectations of premium travel. In this sense, the SE3SXD is not simply an Electric Suitcase or Rideable Suitcase. It brings together the functions of a Smart Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase and Luxury Suitcase, creating a more integrated approach to intelligent personal travel. Smart Connectivity Across the Travel Journey Electric riding is only one part of Airwheel's approach to smart luggage. Through the dedicated Airwheel smart app, compatible products support iOS, Android and HarmonyOS, enabling users to view key information such as riding speed, mileage and remaining battery power while customizing selected functions. Depending on the model, intelligent functions include variable speed adjustment, remote telescopic control, personalized lighting, low-battery alerts, distance alerts and intelligent cruise control. USB charging functionality further expands the role of Airwheel luggage. By providing a convenient charging interface, the suitcase can help travelers keep smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds and other essential electronic devices powered throughout the journey. Together, these features transform the traditional suitcase into a more connected Smart Suitcase and Power Suitcase, designed around the increasingly digital nature of modern travel. A Product Portfolio Designed for Different Travel Needs Airwheel is expanding intelligent luggage across different sizes, users and travel scenarios rather than limiting the concept to a single suitcase format. Airwheel SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase and SE3SX Cabin Suitcase — Smart Cabin Mobility The SE3SL+ and SE3SX focus on the needs of frequent travelers seeking a balance between portability, riding functionality and cabin convenience. Designed around a 20-inch Cabin Suitcase format, the models combine electric riding capabilities with intelligent controls and connected functions. Their compact form makes them particularly suitable for travelers who regularly move between airports, railway stations, hotels and business destinations. With premium materials, integrated technology and rideable functionality, they also demonstrate how a Luxury Suitcase can evolve beyond appearance and storage to deliver practical intelligent mobility. Airwheel SE3T Electric Suitcase — Smart Luggage for Longer Journeys For travelers who need additional storage capacity, the Airwheel SE3T adopts a 24-inch format with approximately 48 liters of storage space. It retains the core riding concept while providing additional room for longer trips, family travel and journeys requiring more luggage. The SE3T demonstrates that smart mobility does not have to be limited to compact carry-on luggage. Airwheel SQ3 and SQ3S Kids suitcase — Intelligent Mobility for Family Travel Airwheel also extends its smart mobility concept to younger travelers with the SQ3 and SQ3S intelligent riding suitcases. Designed specifically for children, the models combine riding functionality with smart speaker features. With a maximum riding speed of up to 6.5 km/h and a maximum load of 40 kg, they bring entertainment and mobility together in a compact travel format. By expanding intelligent luggage into family travel, Airwheel is exploring how smart mobility can become part of the travel experience for different age groups. From compact cabin luggage to larger travel formats and family-oriented riding solutions, Airwheel's expanding product portfolio reflects a broader effort to bring intelligent mobility into different stages of the travel journey. Technology and Design Behind Intelligent Mobility A rideable suitcase requires more than an electric motor. It combines electric drive technology, battery management, structural engineering, intelligent controls and human-machine interaction within a compact luggage platform. Airwheel has built an intellectual property portfolio of more than 600 patents and 168 trademarks worldwide. Its products have received more than 39 international design awards, with recognition from design organizations and competitions in Germany, the United States, France, Berlin and Asia. The brand says its intelligent luggage products have also generated more than 20 billion media impressions worldwide, reflecting growing interest in the emerging category of smart and rideable travel products. From the Electric Suitcase to the connected Smart Suitcase, from the premium Cabin Suitcase to the emerging AI Suitcase, Airwheel is continuing to explore how technology can make travel more effortless. The vision is ultimately simple: when luggage becomes easier to move, easier to control and easier to track, travelers can spend less energy managing their belongings and more time enjoying the journey. Airwheel is redefining the role of luggage — from something travelers carry to an intelligent companion designed to move with them.

  12. FinanceHong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, Salon de TIME attracts over 17,000 global buyersHONG KONG, Sep 6, 2026 - The 45th Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and the 14th Salon de TIME, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Limited, and The Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades & Industries Limited, concluded successfully yesterday. Meanwhile, the Click2Match smart business matching platform remains open until 12 September, allowing exhibitors and buyers worldwide to continue their business discussions online. To celebrate the 45th edition of the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, the organiser specially created a “Time Tunnel”, allowing visitors to journey through the fair’s history and revisit three key milestones since its inception in 1982. Over the five-day fair, over 17,000 trade buyers from 115 countries and regions attended to source watch and clock products. Buyers from outside Hong Kong mainly came from the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, India, Japan, Russia and the US, as well as ASEAN countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. Buyer attendance from North America, ASEAN and Latin America recorded significant growth, underscoring Hong Kong’s pivotal role as an international trading centre and premier sourcing hub for the global watch and clock industry in Asia. The 45th Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and the 14th Salon de TIME concluded successfully yesterday, attracting over 17,000 buyers from 115 countries and regions who visited the fairs to source products and explore business opportunities. Salon de TIME was fully open to the public with free admission. Together with CENTRESTAGE, held concurrently, the two events attracted over 20,000 public visits for shopping and visits, showcasing the latest products from more than 400 watch and fashion brands. Salon de TIME was fully open to the public, inviting visitors to explore the latest watch collections, shop for their favourite timepieces and participate in a wide range of exciting onsite activities. HKTDC Associate Executive Director Smilely Lam said: "As the world's largest one-stop watch and clock marketplace, the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and Salon de TIME connect the entire value chain spanning manufacturing, sourcing and brand promotion, bringing together brands, watchmakers, suppliers, retailers, collectors, watch media and enthusiasts from around the world to create a comprehensive industry ecosystem. This year, Salon de TIME attracted more than 150 brands from across the globe, achieving a record scale and further enhancing the fair's international profile and diversity. The number of exhibitors in the Microbrands zone doubled compared with last year. From what we observed at the fair, there is strong market demand for microbrands, Guochao-inspired watches, and cross-industry collaborations, reflecting consumers' growing appreciation for personalised designs, cultural and creative elements, and compelling brand stories. World Brand Piazza, a signature attraction of Salon de TIME, showcased six world-renowned watch brands. This year, Salon de TIME featured many Chinese Mainland brands and renowned independent watchmakers showcasing Guochao timepieces, including Shanghai Watch, FIYTA, and Zbioland. The fairs created opportunities for industry players worldwide to connect, collaborate and forge business partnerships, and also fully demonstrated Hong Kong's strengths as an international trading platform by attracting global opportunities to Hong Kong while helping Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland enterprises and brands expand into overseas markets." Survey finds strong growth prospects in Latin America and Korea During the fair, HKTDC conducted a survey, interviewing around 890 exhibitors and buyers to gain insights into the future development of the global watch and clock industry, as well as industry perceptions of market prospects and product trends. The survey found that 50% of respondents expect overall sales to increase over the next 12 to 24 months, while 43% anticipate sales will remain stable. Respondents identified the following target markets as offering promising or very promising growth prospects for the watch and clock industry over the next two years such as Latin America (68%), Korea (67%), the Middle East (64%), Australia (64%) and South Africa (64%). Regarding product trends, 37% of respondents believe fashion watches offer the greatest growth potential, followed by smart watches (30%) and casual watches (26%). Exhibitors and buyers report robust business results A representative of the Hengyang, Hunan pavilion, Lu Yalan, Brand Manager of Nanyue Watches at Hunan Shengshi Weide Technology Co., Ltd., said: “The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair is an international event that fully leverages Hong Kong’s unique strengths as a gateway connecting the Chinese Mainland and the world, as well as its blend of Eastern and Western cultures, making it an ideal platform for us to expand into overseas markets. We have already connected with potential buyers from India, Italy, and Malaysia, including an Italian buyer who is interested in purchasing 2,000 watches. We expect sales generated during the five-day fair to exceed US$3 million. Through HKTDC’s extensive international business network, we hope to bring watches that embody distinctive Chinese cultural elements to a wider range of overseas markets.” Chauncey Chiu, Senior Sales Manager, Peacock Watch (Group) Co., Ltd., said: “Global recognition of Chinese watchmaking has continued to grow in recent years, and we are leveraging the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair to further expand into overseas markets, particularly Europe and the US. This year, we have also made first-time connections with new customers from Kuwait and Mexico. During the fair, we secured orders every day, and we expect total sales generated from this year’s fair to exceed RMB10 million.” Nabil Dabaan, CEO of Jovial, a watch wholesaler and retailer from the United Arab Emirates, said: “During this year’s fair, we expect to source approximately US$1 million worth of watch components from nine suppliers, including two newly identified suppliers. In addition, we plan to purchase around US$250,000 worth of packaging boxes, shopping bags and display materials.” CN Innovations Limited, which has participated every Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair since the beginning, marked the fair’s 45th edition this year by showcasing innovative achievements, including 3D-printed titanium watches. SK Chong, Business Development Director of CN Innovation Limited, said: “We have participated in the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair for 45 consecutive years, and it remains an irreplaceable platform for our business. Over the years, the fair's role has evolved significantly, transforming from a venue focused primarily on direct, transaction-driven trade into a strategic platform for industry exchange and market promotion. As the world's largest importer of watches and a leading exporter, Hong Kong offers the ideal stage to showcase our rich heritage and our latest innovations and R&D achievements.” At Salon de TIME, several exhibitors showcased watches inspired by the Guochao trend. Among them, Sun International Concepts Ltd. presented five renowned Chinese Mainland watch brands, including creations by Xushu Ma, Zehua Tan and Lin Yonghua, members of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) from the Chinese Mainland, who showcased their craftsmanship through distinctive Chinese timepieces. David Sun, the company's Executive Director, said the company received 17 enquiries for bespoke timepieces, including eight from Dubai, the Philippines, Thailand and other overseas markets, generating customised watch orders totalling HK$4 million. He added that the exhibition provides an effective platform for brands to connect with collectors and overseas distributors, helping Chinese Mainland brands expand into overseas retail channels and international markets. As an international platform, the fair also supports brands in expanding their overseas distribution networks and accelerating their global growth. Leveraging the Salon de TIME as an important platform for international expansion, Sea-Gull Watch and Shanghai Watch also held product launch events during the fair, showcasing Chinese watchmaking craftsmanship and innovative technologies to the international market. George Xu, CEO, Fosun Watch Group, said: “The two brands have engaged with customers from markets including India, the Middle East, Russia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. We expect sales generated from this year’s exhibition to exceed HK$1 million. Over the years, the fair has also helped us gradually expand into overseas markets. For example, a Turkish client we met at last year’s fair is now in the process of opening a dedicated retail store in Turkey. Hong Kong is also a very important market for us. Following the encouraging response to the opening of our first store in Tsim Sha Tsui earlier this year, we plan to launch our flagship store in Central after the fair. This will further strengthen our brand presence and expand our influence in both the Hong Kong and overseas markets.” The Microbrands zone attracted 29 brands from eight countries and regions this year, more than double the number recorded last year. Making its debut at the fair, MicroMilspec, an independent watch brand from Norway, showcased its new Field Master timepiece in the pavilion and received an overwhelmingly positive response. Katarina Halvorssen, Customer Relationship Management & Sales Manager, MicroMilspec, said: “More than 170 visitors came to our booth on the first day alone, including customers from Hong Kong, India, the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates. We estimate potential sales of around US$29,000. For us, the fair is not only an opportunity to showcase our brand, but also an important gateway to the Asian market.” Watchcatavlog from Hong Kong, a returning exhibitor, showcased 10 microbrands this year. Its Founder, Ciff Luk, said: “Salon de TIME allows watch enthusiasts to try on and experience the timepieces firsthand through wrist trials, while also helping brands connect directly with international buyers. We expect sales to reach HK$280,000. Visitor inquiries have increased 20% year-on-year, and we have attracted interest from buyers in Brazil, Canada, India, Kuwait, the Philippines, Singapore, and the US. Both visitor traffic and buyer quality have improved this year.” WOLF, the luxury watch storage and watch winder brand from the UK, made its debut at the Fair and launched Rocket, the world’s most compact travel watch winder, during the exhibition. Michael Jappert, Global Sales Director, WOLF 1834, Limited, said: “Through HKTDC’s Click2Match business matching platform, we have connected with around 40 potential buyers from markets including the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Dubai, Japan, Korea, the Middle East and the US. The platform has enabled us to efficiently identify and engage with quality business prospects from around the world.” Amarildo Pilo, Owner of PILO & CO SA and Founder of the Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavilion (SIWP), said: “The fair’s international reach is a key reason why we continue to participate, helping us connect with buyers from Asia, the Middle East and the US. We have met more than 10 clients interested in our products, including three new contacts from Kazakhstan and a buyer from the Chinese Mainland. The SIWP Pavilion has also grown from 10 brands last year to 14 this year, reflecting how HKTDC’s platform helps Swiss independent brands explore new distribution opportunities and further expand into international markets.” The fairs featured a strong lineup of international exhibitors, including the Swiss Independent Watchmakers Pavilion (SIWP) from Switzerland (above) and Francéclat from France. LINK2CARE, in collaboration with Swiss watch brand MARVIN, launched a luxury smartwatch that integrates LINK2CARE’s patented leather strap with concealed, medical-grade biometric sensors. The watch provides comprehensive health monitoring and can track users’ resilience and stress levels in real time, with the data displayed directly on the watch dial. Paul Yuen, Director, Dayton Industrial Co. Ltd, said: “The fair attracted a diverse range of buyers from around the world. We also established a cross-industry partnership with a tour guide to explore new opportunities in the wellness tourism sector. Our watches, priced at over HK$2,000, sold more than 100 units on the first day alone, requiring immediate stock replenishment. In addition, the organiser’s newly introduced Time Arena activity zone, which incorporated trendy elements such as pickleball, significantly enhanced visitor engagement and attracted buyers and consumers from different backgrounds, creating more business opportunities for brands.” Salon de TIME once again offered free admission to the public, with some brands providing on-site retail sales. Abel Hwong, Publisher & Anchor, World of Luxury Times, led a 26-member delegation to the fair to purchase watches. He said: “We purchased 12 watches from three brands, with a total value exceeding HK$100,000. The fair lets collectors interact directly with brands and buy the timepieces they want, turning collecting enthusiasm into real purchases. It also helps brands connect with more watch enthusiasts and potential customers.” HKTDC will organise a series of trade fairs this autumn. The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) and electronicAsia will be held concurrently at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from 13 to 16 October.
