These exhibitions can be both large and small, and some cater for various niche markets.

Among the limited-edition timepieces displayed is the “1Malaysia” watch by Ulysse Nardin, produced as a tribute to the country.
“Exhibitions featuring international brands such as these are in line with the Tourism Ministry’s efforts to promote Malaysia as a shopping haven for tourists,” said Dr Ng, adding that shopping had contributed RM16.2bil to the country’s coffers last year.
She said the ministry aimed to develop the Bukit Bintang area into a “must visit” tourists’ area with several projects planned, including a 1.3km walkway expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The exhibition celebrates the 10th anniversary of home-grown luxury watch retailer Swiss Watch Gallery.
The company, which began with an outlet at Penang International Airport, now has more than 20 watch boutiques in Malaysia and Singapore.
The exhibition’s lifestyle partners include UOB Bank, BMW, The Star, The Peak, Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Glenmorangie. The event has the support of Tourism Malaysia.
