Thailand does not have the same reputation as
maybe Switzerland or Bavaria for producing fine quality cuckoo clocks or
Swiss carriage clocks. Thailand doesn't produce precision timepieces for the
world's leading clock and watch companies like Rolex or Longines. Or do
they?
Yes you can still buy your fake watches here in
Thailand no matter what the copyright lawyers do. But the real stuff, where
do you buy the real clocks and watches. The high class department stores
such as The Emporium are full of designer shops. You can buy your watches and
fine clocks there. However there is another avenue. The European clock
manufacturers. the Swiss clock manufacturers have set up shop, not in the
designer shopping Malls but on the industrial estates that are dotted around
Bangkok.
Handicraft clocks made from local materials like
rattan clocks, bamboo clocks and teak wooden clocks can be found at most
giftware shows in Bangkok. The larger clock factories produce many different
types of timepieces. Toy clocks for the kid's bedroom and a new product that
is very popular an alarm pill clock that reminds you to take your
medication. I had one customer who had a custom made alarm contraceptive
pill box that held a strip of contraceptive pills and a spare condom!
