Ms. Cindy Yeung, Chairperson of Emperor W&J, said, “Considering several favourable factors such as a continued rebound in the stock market and higher tourist spending in Hong Kong, it is expected that the Hong Kong economy will remain resilient in the second half of 2026. In recent years, consumer behaviours have become more sophisticated, especially in the luxury market. Personalised and premium customer services as well as luxurious shopping environments are expected. In this regard, the Group has opened multi-storey Rolex boutiques in Beijing in the Chinese Mainland and Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong, aiming to enhance its customers’ shopping experience and strengthen its foothold in the luxury watch market. In respect of the jewellery business, the Group has been actively exploring intellectual property (IP) collaboration opportunities in order to tap into the younger consumer market; in the meantime, gold jewellery has gained immense popularity among consumers and is gradually transforming into daily wearable accessories. The Group will therefore continue expanding its jewellery business segment, to seize market opportunities and elevate the brand presence.”
