Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair marks 45th Milestone HKTDC Associate Executive Director Smilely Lam said: “The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and Salon de TIME together form the world's largest one-stop watch and clock marketplace. As the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair celebrates its 45th edition this year, the two fairs are continuing to grow in both international reach and diversity, leveraging Hong Kong’s strengths as an international trading hub and Asia’s premier sourcing centre for watches and clocks. This year’s fairs welcome, for the first time, a pavilion from Hengyang, Hunan Province, alongside group pavilions from France, Switzerland, Guangzhou and Taiwan. New exhibitors from Norway, Singapore and the US are joining this year's fair, further strengthening the international profile of the fairs. Salon de TIME is expected to feature more than 150 global brands, reaching a new post-pandemic high. Participation from Hong Kong brands and Guochao-inspired brands has increased by more than 20%, while more brands from Italy, the United Kingdom and the US are joining, alongside the debut of Singaporean brands. This fully demonstrates Hong Kong’s unique role as an important bridge connecting the Chinese Mainland with international markets, as well as the global watch industry’s confidence in the Hong Kong market.” According to the latest trade statistics, Hong Kong is the world’s largest importer and second largest exporter of wristwatches. In the first seven months of this year, the total export value of watches reached approximately HK$30.5 billion, representing a 7.8% year-on-year increase. Several other Hong Kong export markets recorded double-digit growth, including Germany (+21%), Switzerland (+25%) and the United Arab Emirates (+91%). In addition, the watch industry’s export confidence index rose from 50.4 to 51.9 in the second quarter, reflecting the industry’s cautiously optimistic outlook for exports.

The opportunity to see such a distinguished line-up in one place is particularly rare. In addition, several Guochao-inspired brands and Chinese watchmakers will showcase their outstanding creations. Highlights include: Chinese watchmaker Qian Guobiao will present the limited-edition AB-05S “Skylight Sun”, restricted to just 18 pieces worldwide. The self-developed AB-05 manual-winding movement powers the timepiece. At the same time, its semi-skeletonized dial reveals the balance wheel and gear train, highlighting the watch's intricate mechanics and technical expertise. Shanghai Watch will present the ORIGINATE Collection A623 Revival Watch, a modern recreation of China’s first calendar watch, modelling after the original A623 timepiece worn for many years by Zhou Enlai, the first Premier of the People’s Republic of China. The brand will also unveil the Hong Kong Exclusive Edition featuring two interchangeable straps in grey and green, with colours inspired by the Zhongshan suits frequently worn by Premier Zhou, evoking a spirit and memory that transcend generations. Award-winning timepieces showcase innovation and craftsmanship This year’s fair brings together award-winning timepieces, highlighting the watch industry’s pursuit of technical excellence and design innovation.

To celebrate the 45th edition of the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, organisers will present a special “Time Tunnel” exhibition, taking visitors on a journey through three key stages in the fair’s evolution since its debut in 1982. The exhibition will revisit the period from the 1980s to the 1990s, when the fair established itself as a major global sourcing platform for the watch and clock industry. It then traces the transformation of Hong Kong’s watch industry between 2000 and 2020, as the sector evolved from OEM manufacturing toward brand development, with the fair becoming an important platform for industry promotion, networking, and exchange. The final section covers the period from 2020 to the present, when the fair expanded beyond manufacturing, sourcing, and brand promotion. Through cross-sector collaboration and the integration of resources from different industries, it has evolved into a multifaceted platform that brings together craftsmanship, design, technology, lifestyle, culture and consumer engagement, reflecting the continuous transformation of both the watch industry and the fair itself. Experts to share insights on emerging global watch industry trends More than 40 events will take place throughout the fair, including forums, seminars, watch parades, and networking activities, giving industry professionals valuable insights into the latest market developments and business opportunities.

- Reconova Technologies Interim ResultsAugust 26, 2026, Reconova Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Reconova" or the "Company", Stock code: 7656.HK) today released its first interim results since its listing. During the reporting period, the Company achieved revenue of approximately RMB102 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 58.7%. The revenue growth was primarily driven by the synergistic momentum across its three business segments, underpinned by a solid core business foundation. R&D expenses accounted for approximately 48.8% of revenue, as strategic investments continued to build robust technological moats for the Company. Operating Performance Steadily Improves, Operational Efficiency Continuously Optimised From a profitability perspective, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately RMB64 million during the reporting period, narrowing by 6.7% year-on-year. This improvement was achieved despite a continued increase in R&D investment, which rose 51.2% year-on-year. As the Company is in the strategic investment phase for embodied intelligence, R&D expenses account for nearly half of revenue. The net loss was primarily attributable to increased R&D investment in embodied intelligence and one-off listing-related expenses incurred during the period. In terms of operational efficiency, selling and distribution expenses declined by approximately 5.3% year-on-year alongside revenue expansion, reflecting continuous efficiency gains. While the net loss narrowed year-on-year, trade receivables decreased to approximately RMB510 million, down 13.0% from the end of the previous year, indicating a notable improvement in collection efficiency. Looking at forward revenue visibility, contract liabilities stood at approximately RMB12 million as at the end of the reporting period, up 420% from the beginning of the year. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers for goods or services not yet delivered; these amounts will be progressively recognised as revenue in subsequent accounting periods, providing greater visibility into future revenue.. For technology companies in a strategic investment phase, trends in contract liabilities often better reflect the true trajectory of the business than current-period net profit. Three Business Segments Achieve Synergistic Growth, Customer Ecosystem Continuously Strengthened During the reporting period, all three business segments achieved year-on-year growth with ongoing structural optimisation, demonstrating the core business's sustainable cash-generating capability. The Intelligent Civil Aviation segment generated revenue of approximately RMB3 million, up 319.1% year-on-year, benefiting from enhanced customer stability. The Company maintained its No. 1 market position in China's enterprise vision intelligence product market for civil aviation, with its products deployed in over 60% of China's airports with annual passenger throughput exceeding 10 million. Benchmark projects continue to be replicated and iterated. It is worth noting that the civil aviation sector exhibits pronounced seasonal characteristics: due to the annual budget execution cycle of airports and project acceptance timelines, revenue recognition for this segment is typically concentrated in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter. The Smart Commercial segment accelerated the acquisition and servicing of high-value customers, driving growth in average customer value and transaction volume. Revenue reached approximately RMB34 million, up 95.5% year-on-year. The SINHON Business System for commercial spaces is being deployed at an accelerating pace, achieving rapid growth and a more diversified revenue base. The Smart Driving Safety segment generated revenue of approximately RMB66 million, up 41.2% year-on-year. A significant increase in new customer order volumes drove sales expansion. Full-Stack Technology System Evolves, Embodied Intelligence Achieves Multiple Commercialisation Milestones With 14 years of expertise in vision intelligence, Reconova has built an integrated enterprise-grade embodied intelligence core technology framework spanning "perception–cognition–physical execution," and is steadily advancing the large-scale deployment of commercial robot products for productivity-focused scenarios. In terms of concrete progress, the "AntOne" airport baggage handling robot, launched in September 2025, has completed pilot deployment at a major Chinese airport with more than 10 million annual passengers, supporting 24/7 uninterrupted operation. In April 2026, the Company iteratively launched its new VTFLA embodied intelligence technology architecture. Building on the conventional VLA (Vision-Language-Action) framework, VTFLA integrates multi-modal input perception including vision, tactile and force feedback. Its core design philosophy is to process over 80% of intelligence at the edge, employing a dual-system fast-slow coordination architecture that decouples and coordinates task planning with real-time control. The Company plans to further advance R&D in edge-side lightweight embodied intelligence technology, continuously enhancing multi-modal perception and execution capabilities. At the recently concluded 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC), the Company comprehensively presented an embodied intelligence solution for airport productivity scenarios. Through human-machine systems and multi-robot collaborative operations, the solution reshapes traditional manual baggage handling operations, creating a safe, reliable, and flexibly adaptable full-chain intelligent baggage handling system. In addition, the Company has initiated R&D on a wheeled dual-arm robot, expected to be launched in 2027 and commercialised in 2028. Its application scenarios will expand from fixed-position baggage handling to mobile loading and unloading operations under aircraft, and gradually extend to warehousing, industrial automation, and other scenarios. During the conference, the Company also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with SIIC Tech Capital to jointly build the Hong Kong Embodied Intelligence Super Accelerator, advancing industrial commercialisation and international expansion. Globalisation Strategy Fully Launched, Overseas Markets Achieve Multi-Point Breakthroughs For international expansion, the Company adopts a strategy of "expanding from nearby markets to more distant regions," with an initial focus on Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Currently, the Company has launched Proof of Concept (PoC) pilot projects at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, and Tashkent International Airport in Uzbekistan. The rollout follows the principle of "prioritising flagship airports first, then radiating to long-tail customers": the first phase focuses on hub airports in the Middle East and Southeast Asia to establish benchmark cases, before progressively expanding to long-tail customers and subsequently entering European and American markets. The Company is replicating its vision AI and embodied intelligence experience accumulated at domestic airports to global markets that are undergoing large-scale smart airport construction. In terms of partnership models, the Company emphasises local ecosystem collaboration and the export of technology standards, combined with product localisation, adopting an asset-light, deep-collaboration approach. Approximately 10.4% of the IPO net proceeds have been earmarked for expanding overseas sales channels, providing financial support for the globalisation strategy. Strategy Focused on Productivity Scenarios, Long-Term Market Potential Gradually Unlocks The Company adheres to a highly focused and disciplined strategic principle, concentrating on "productivity tools" in handling, depalletizing/palletizing, and specialty scenarios, rather than pursuing broad concepts such as consumer-grade robots or general-purpose humanoid robots. In the short term, the three business segments — Intelligent Civil Aviation, Smart Commercial, and Smart Driving Safety — will continue to generate stable cash flow. Over the medium to long term, leveraging a universal vision intelligence foundation reusable across scenarios, the Company will continuously strengthen its full-stack embodied intelligence core technology framework, iterate multiple categories of commercial robots, and complete a strategic upgrade from vision intelligence solutions to an integrated "perception–cognition–physical execution" enterprise-grade embodied intelligence framework. Embodied intelligence has been included as a key future industry to be cultivated under China's 15th Five-Year Plan. According to Frost & Sullivan forecasts, China's enterprise vision intelligence market will exceed RMB162.7 billion by 2030. As B2B customers' demand for cost reduction and efficiency improvement continues to rise and the technology maturity curve crosses its inflection point, commercial robots are expected to enter a period of accelerated demand growth in productivity scenarios such as airport baggage handling, warehousing logistics, and industrial automation over the next three to five years. Leveraging its 14-year vision intelligence foundation and multi-scenario engineering delivery experience, Reconova is accelerating the deployment of embodied intelligence in real industrial scenarios, completing its transition from vision intelligence to enterprise-grade embodied intelligence, with long-term market potential gradually unlocking. About Reconova Technologies Co., Ltd. Reconova Technologies Co., Ltd. (Stock code: 7656.HK) is a leading enterprise vision intelligence company in China, listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 8 July 2026. The Company provides a series of visual perception, visual cognition, and visual reasoning intelligence products applied across civil aviation, commercial spaces, and driving safety scenarios. Ranked first in China's enterprise vision intelligence product market for civil aviation by 2025 revenue, Reconova is advancing its strategic evolution from vision intelligence to enterprise-grade embodied intelligence.

- Dynasty Fine Wines Announces 2026 Interim ResultsFinancial Highlights (Unaudited) (HKD Thousand) Six months ended 30 June 2026 2025 Revenue 83,046 122,775 Gross Profit 30,775 47,277 Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company 496 8,172 Basic Earnings per Share (HK cents) 0.04 0.58 HONG KONG, August 26, 2026 - Dynasty Fine Wines Group Limited (“Dynasty” or “the Group”) (Stock Code: 00828), a premier grape winemaker in China, today announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026. In the first half of 2026, due to weak demand of wine consumption market in the PRC, the Group’s sales of middle to high-end and red wine products declined, resulting in a 32% year-on-year decrease in revenue to HK$83.0 million. Although the impact of revenue decline on profit was partially offset by an increase in other income such as write-off of payables with long ageing and a decrease in administrative expenses, the profit attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$0.5 million. Earnings per share of the Company was HK0.04 cents per Share. With the Group’s stronger base of dry white market in coastal regions and the new launch of products of white and sparkling wines in response of the market trend, sale of white wine remained serving as the Group’s primary revenue contributor, though sale of white wine products recorded a decrease when compared with the corresponding period in 2025. Sales of red and white wines products accounted for approximately 28% and 63% of the total revenue respectively for the period (2025: approximately 41% and 54% respectively). The gross margin of red wine products and white wine products during the period were both 38% (2025: 38% and 39% respectively). The overall gross profit margin was 37% during the period (2025: 39%), mainly due to change of product mix at lower prices and margin adaptive to the mass market during the period. The Group has been actively pursuing innovation, embracing the “5+4+N” product strategy, with “N” standing for developing various customised products and continuously creating new products to meet the diverse needs of different Chinese consumer groups. During the period, the Group launched a new gift set product, i.e. Dynasty Chinese Zodiac Commemorative Dry Red Wine for the Bing Wu Year of Horse, integrating with the Chinese zodiac culture and the leading rise of Chinese-style fashionable products, by presenting the zodiac culture in a youthful visual language to attract potential consumers. At the same time, the Group continued carrying out activities “Dragon Across the Universities ” in different universities and colleges to promote wine culture, further broadening the brand’s awareness and reputation among young people. Based on its existing high-quality products, the Group continues to introduce new products and promote product upgrades. The Group participated in the 114th China Food & Drinks Fair in March 2026 and capitalised on the momentum to launch new products such as “Tipsy series ”, to further improve its product matrix and provide consumers with diverse consumption choices. The "Tipsy Series” forms two distinct product lines: nonalcoholic free-run grape juice beverages and low-alcohol sparkling wines. Its low alcohol content provides a gentle, pleasant buzz, and its sweetness comes solely from the natural sugars of the grapes, authentically showcasing the characteristics of the grape variety and the unique terroir of the region. During the China Food & Drinks Fair, the Group also held wine-tasting events during the fair, where the new muscat sparkling wine and tea-flavoured wine won industry praise for their unique flavour and exquisite craftsmanship. In addition, the Group has continuously expanded the product spectrum by introducing new categories of products for ready-to-drink consumption channels such as craft beer, and cultivated new business growth. The Group also sold chateau wine imported from France and other foreign branded wines in the PRC market through the Group’s existing distribution network to introduce some classic “old world” and “new world” varietals to cater for a market that prefers the taste of foreign premium wines.

Regarding Dynasty Renhuai, the company continued trading operations in 2026 after encountering a period of fluctuation in the baijiu market in the PRC at its establishment in 2025, the baijiu market is tending to be stable in 2026. Leveraging on the advantages of origin and brand, Dynasty Renhuai is actively expanding channels, promoting product structure stratification and building a diversified product matrix of sauce-flavour baijiu to increase the scale of the segment. The establishment of these new joint ventures aim to implement Dynasty’s strategic plan, further improving the industrial layout, expanding category tracks, tapping into industry potential, creating new performance growth in the long run, and realising the Group’s transformation into a full category, full industry-chain enterprise. Regarding online sales, the e-commerce team of the Group comprehensively operates online stores itself on the traditional e-commerce platforms, such as JD.com , Tmall and Pinduoduo for product sales, as well as comprehensive innovation on its brand, product categories, and business systems, procedures and models via interest-based e-commerce platforms, including RED, Kuai and TikTok . Based on this, the e-commerce team also actively cultivates e-commerce live broadcasting talents to further expand its sales channels so as to build up a new customer base. The Group has also strengthened the promotion of newly launched “Hi” tea-flavoured sparkling wines and "Tipsy Series ” in RED and TikTok during the period under review. The Group continues investing resources in a timely manner for improvement of the online sales channels and optimisation of online stores interface so as to respond to the change of customer consumption behaviour in the PRC. The Group jointly develops exclusive products with leading e-commerce platforms, and promotes AI livestreaming models in various channels to increase brand exposure and livestreaming sales, adopts big data analysis to accurately understand consumer demand. During the period, the Group achieved a staged growth in online sales. To establish an online brand matrix, the Group optimised online distributors during the period. The Group believes that the online platforms not only serve as a business-to-customer trading platform between the Group and the consumers, but also an additional marketing and promotion channel for the brand, which can enhance the overall business potential of the Group. During the period, the Group had boasted brilliant results in major wine appraisal competitions.
