OEM & ODM Custom Watch Manufacturer

— From Idea to Mass Production

From prototype development to mass production, we provide full-cycle OEM & ODM manufacturing. Engineering support, quality control, and scalable production capacity for watch brands running established, high-volume programs.

About HTIMES

HTimes is a specialized OEM & ODM watch manufacturer based in Dongguan, China – the heart of the global watch supply chain.

Since 2009, we have worked with established watch brands across 30+ countries — supporting programs that scale from pilot runs into ongoing annual production.

HTimes runs an in-house engineering and prototyping studio in Dongguan – the heart of the global watch supply chain – and manages every order end-to-end. Design, sampling, production follow-up and final inspection are run directly by our own engineering and QC team. Every project gets the same technical rigor, whether you are ordering 100 units or 10,000.

Our role is simple: reduce your production risk, protect your design, and make sure what arrives matches what you approved.

OUR MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

We manufacture a focused range of watches that brands can reliably develop,

customize, and scale. Every product we make is backed by in-house engineering

and multi-stage quality control.

ODM / Private Label

Choose from our proven catalog of case platforms and add your branding, dial design, and packaging. Fastest path to market — no tooling cost, rapid turnaround.

OEM / Custom Development

Full-scale engineering from concept to production: new case mold creation, bespoke movement integration, and surface finishing. For brands that need a watch that is genuinely theirs.

Material Innovation

Select and validate case alloys, crystal, coating, and strap materials against your brief – 316L, sapphire, PVD, and more – before tooling locks. Material choices stay tied to wear targets, cost, and QC, not catalog defaults.

Prototyping

CNC-machined physical prototypes before any mass production commitment. Every case, dial, and hand is validated for fit, finish, and water resistance before you approve production.

STREAMLINED PROCESS

Here is how a typical project moves from brief to delivery:

Consultation & Spec Review: Detailed analysis of your technical requirements.
Prototyping & Approval: Physical validation of materials, finish, and function.
Controlled Mass Production: ISO-standard assembly with multi-point QC.
Logistics & Compliance: Worldwide shipping with all necessary certifications (CE, RoHS, etc.).

Our Approach to Watch Manufacturing

Many of our partners come to us to scale — moving from pilot runs into full annual production, or switching from a manufacturing partner that can no longer keep up.

We support this by helping brands:

Validate new SKUs with samples before committing to volume
Test consistency through pilot orders
Build confidence before scaling production

Growth should feel structured — not risky.

Flexible MOQ: Accommodating both boutique runs and large-scale industrial orders.
Strict IP Protection: Your custom designs and intellectual property are legally secured.
Cost Efficiency: Direct factory pricing with transparent material breakdown.

Who manages production and quality?

HTIMES manages every order end-to-end from our base in Dongguan. Design, sampling, production follow-up and final inspection are run directly by our own engineering and QC team — not outsourced to a trading agent.

How long has HTIMES been manufacturing watches?

HTIMES has been manufacturing watches in Dongguan since 2009, serving brands in 30+ countries. Our work ranges from mass-market quartz to Swiss and Japanese mechanical movements and high-spec OEM projects.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

For standard ODM quartz on existing molds, and for OEM builds that reuse existing case molds, MOQ is typically 100–300 units. Programs that need brand-new molds are quoted per project after we review drawings and finish requirements.

What is your production lead time?

After Golden Sample confirmation and deposit, runs of about 300–1,000 units usually take 6–8 weeks; 1,000–5,000 units usually take 8–12 weeks. Timelines shift with component lead times and revision cycles — we confirm a production calendar before kickoff.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM at HTIMES?

OEM: you own the design IP; you supply the spec and we engineer, sample and manufacture to it. ODM: you adapt bases from our existing case and movement library for lower tooling cost and a faster path to sample. Many brand programs mix both — for example ODM cases with OEM dials and straps.

How do you protect our watch design from being copied?

We sign an NDA before any design files are shared. Design storage is access-controlled, we do not share one client's designs with another, and we do not produce counterfeit products for competitors.
