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.

For 15 years, 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 produces through a network of vetted partner factories. It’s a manufacturing-upgrade model: you get factory-direct quality control on design, sampling, and finishing, with the cost flexibility of a well-managed supply network. 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.

Private Label (OEM)

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.

Custom Development (ODM)

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

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.

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.

Are you a factory or a trading company?

HTIMES operates as a manufacturing partner, not a traditional trading company. We run an in-house engineering and prototyping studio in Dongguan, with mass production through a network of vetted partner factories.

How long has HTIMES been manufacturing watches?

15 years, serving buyers in 30+ countries — from mass-market quartz to Swiss and Japanese mechanical movements and high-spec OEM projects.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Standard ODM quartz (existing molds): 300 units minimum. OEM with existing case molds: 500 units minimum. Brand-new molds: quoted per project.

What is your production lead time?

300–1,000 units: 6–8 weeks. 1,000–5,000 units: 8–12 weeks. After Golden Sample confirmation and deposit.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM at HTIMES?

OEM: you supply the spec, we engineer and manufacture to it — the design IP stays yours. ODM: you adapt our existing case and movement library — lower cost and a faster timeline.

How do you protect our watch design from being copied?

An NDA is signed before any files are shared, design storage is access-controlled, we don't share design information between clients, and we don't produce counterfeit products for competitors.
