Reminiscences of the son of an exhibitor about the Hong Kong Products Exhibitions
Founder of Chung Nam Watch Co., Ltd, Chong Ching Um, was a director of the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong (CMA). Chung Nam had participated in the Hong Kong Products Expo. What left a deep impression on young Chong Hok Hoi (Chong Ching Um's son) were snacks, toys and games in the Expo. He already knew Red A was a famous Hong Kong brand. As a watch manufacturer, he thought that these activities were less important than the watch and clock fairs.
