Guanqin, about this Chinese brand, I already have introduced its watch-making history in one of my previous articles https://www.bobswatchstore.com/2022/04/08/guanqin-tonneau-shaped-watch-the-skeleton-beauty-of-mechanical-watch/, Guanqin is not old or very new, it has some customers in China, but not too many. Besides, the customers of Guanqin do not have a young age now, most of them are over 40 years old, or even older, and many customers who have bought Guanqin watches are not well educated, people here who have graduated from college won’t choose Guanqin watch. That is my opinion, I do not know how you think of this brand.
Does Guanqin succeed in Chinese watch market?
Yes, their watches are accepted by a small group of customers, and prices are very affordable. In recent years, many niche watch brands appeared in China, but none of them have succeeded like Guanqin.
Does Guanqin have boutiques in China and in other countries?
No. They have an office in Guangzhou and online stores in Taobao.
My advice:
If you want a mechanical watch from Guanqin, just choose the best seller with a very affordable price, the fewer functions the watch has, the better finish the watch will have, the watch will also be more stable. Just like this Guanqin I show below, it is the cheapest automatic watch from them, works very well, case and bracelet have moderate finish. Overall quality is acceptable.
