TWEMCO:
Twemco is a Hong Kong-based manufacturer of tilting clocks. Founded in 1956, the company became a full-fledged clockmaker in 1968.
Its workshop is located in the Prince Edward area.
Twemco is the world's leading manufacturer of automatic tilting clocks, and its products became a symbol of Hong Kong's precision engineering in the mid-20th century.
The company claims to have sold nearly one million clocks.
The design of Twemco's desk clocks resembles that of the world's first tilting clock, the Cifra 3, designed in Italy in 1965.
In Hong Kong, Twemco clocks are a common feature in banks, government buildings, and offices.
This has led to the clocks being associated with the cinematic aesthetic of Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai.
