Accelerated overseas strategy as an integral part of brand transformation

HONG KONG/BANGKOK – EQS Newswire – 16 January 2026 – Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Limited (“Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group”, the “Group” or the “Company”; SEHK stock code: 1929), the global Chinese luxury group built on a nearly-century old legacy of trust and innovation, announces the opening of a key strategic store in Bangkok, Thailand, within the iconic Siam Paragon, as well as the appointment of acclaimed Chinese actor Yang Yang as its Global Brand Ambassador. These initiatives mark significant milestones in the Group’s brand transformation journey as it redefines global luxury through Chinese craftmanship and artistry.

The Group, which operates over 5,000 stores globally with a market capitalisation of approximately HK$122 billion, equivalent to US$16 billion, (as of 31 December 2025), is strengthening its presence in luxury destinations across international markets as part of its brand transformation. The new store at a Southeast Asian luxury retail landmark showcases Chow Tai Fook Jewellery’s blend of modern sophistication with the richness imbued by cultural heritage.

In addition, the appointment of Global Brand Ambassador Yang Yang reflects the commitment to engaging new audiences and deepening emotional resonance with overseas consumers. Yang Yang, a renowned globally recognised Chinese actor, is set to strengthen the brand’s presence in key international markets, positioning it as a modern, elegant embodiment of Chinese luxury on the world stage.

A New Expression of Heritage and Modern Luxury

The new Siam Paragon store features the brand’s iconic “Chow Tai Fook Timeless Red” throughout. The space celebrates the beauty of Chinese craftsmanship and artistry with the use of refined materials and thoughtful lighting that create a warm, gallery-like ambience. To build connections and emotional resonance, the Group is introducing a selection of Thai-exclusive pieces that honour local culture.

“As we advance our dynamic brand transformation journey, curating exceptional retail experiences in international markets is pivotal in Chow Tai Fook Jewellery’s overseas expansion strategy. This expansion is part of our ambition to establish Chow Tai Fook Jewellery as a leading force in global luxury, while reinforcing our legacy of innovation, excellence, and cultural resonance,” said Ms Sonia Cheng, Vice-chairman of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group.

She further remarked: “Another key aspect of our strategic vision is the appointment of Yang Yang as our Global Brand Ambassador. Through this alliance, we will cultivate a refined and contemporary identity for a Chinese luxury brand on the world stage.”

Accelerating Global Reach to Redefine Luxury Across Borders

Chow Tai Fook Jewellery’s international business expansion is guided by a two-pronged approach: revitalising key existing markets and expanding into high-potential new territories for sustainable growth. With around 60 points of sales across international markets in 1HFY2026 (April to September 2025), the Group’s retail sales in Other Markets segment (including China duty-free) grew nearly 17% year-on-year.

The opening of the Siam Paragon store follows the debut of the Group’s first newly designed store in Southeast Asia, which opened at Singapore Changi Airport in November 2025. Building on this momentum, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery is set to further expand its international retail network, with plans to open its first store in Australia and an additional store in Canada by the end of June 2026. The Group also intends to expand into the Middle East market within two years.

Redefining Global Luxury Through Chinese Artistry

In celebration of its 95th anniversary, the Group embarked on a brand transformation journey in 2024 to redefine global luxury. By blending heritage with contemporary iconic designs, the Group showcases the beauty of China to the world through exquisite jewellery that honours tradition while embracing modern elegance. ​

Chow Tai Fook Jewellery is the first Chinese jewellery brand to appoint a Creative Director with international perspectives and exposure, underscoring its commitment to innovative design and narrative-driven branding. Led by Creative Director of High Jewellery, Nicholas Lieou, the Group introduced its signature collections, including the CTF Rouge and CTF Joie Collections.

Co-organized by the People’s Daily and Lianhe Zaobao, the two-day event featured 12 young representatives who explored how their generation is shaping the future through innovation, cultural renewal and cross-border collaboration.

In the first panel, “Youth Driving Tech Innovation,” participants working in robotics, flying cars and data verification discussed both the opportunities and challenges of the AI era.

Tan Wei Hua, head of design at Singapore-based LionsBot International, addressed concerns over “AI anxiety” and its impact on jobs. “New jobs are going to be created. The next generation will be doing something entirely different,” he said, pointing to robotics as a growing field of opportunity.

Quah Zheng Wei, CEO and co-founder of Accredify, encouraged aspiring entrepreneurs to take the first step. With the tech industry evolving rapidly, he stressed that “nothing is holding you back.”

From an industry perspective, Michael Du, CFO and vice president of ARIDGE, said emerging technologies are expanding possibilities in everyday life. Meanwhile, Xu Huazhe, assistant professor at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences at Tsinghua University, highlighted the strengths of younger generations: “With the correct taste, they will build the most meaningful things.”

The second panel, “Contemporary Renewal of Traditional Culture,” shifted focus from innovation to heritage. Artists and cultural practitioners in wood sculpture, paper art, jewelry design and journalism explored how tradition can be revitalized in modern contexts.

Wood sculpture artist Deng Kun emphasized the importance of cultivating an eye for beauty, while Lianhe Zaobao arts and culture journalist Zhang Heyang described traditional culture as “a place of spiritual haven for today’s youth.”

Designer Longhong Ziwei, founder and art director of the accessory brand Soft Mountains, said engaging with Yi heritage has inspired her work and resonated with international audiences.

Singaporean paper and mixed media artist Koh Pei Li, drawing inspiration from everyday urban life, highlighted the value of noticing overlooked details. Through her work, she hopes to reconnect people with the subtle beauty around them.

In the final panel, “Jointly Building a Sustainable Future,” speakers from architecture, fashion, and marine conservation offered interdisciplinary perspectives on sustainability.

Chen Kan, principal architect of TAB Architecture and Design, spoke about the philosophy of “being-with” as a guiding principle. “We need a deeper capacity to coexist with others,” he said.

Goy Zhenru, principal architect of Goy Architects in Singapore, emphasized designing in harmony with nature. She highlighted the importance of connecting living spaces with natural elements such as breeze and sunlight to create comfort and environmental awareness.

Sam Shu Qin, co-founder of Our Singapore Reefs and Our Blue Spaces, who describes herself as “a gardener underwater,” expressed hope that younger generations will recognize their ability to give back to the ocean.

For fashion designer Chen Peng, founder of brand CHENPENG, sustainability is both cultural and practical. “It should be culture-based and do no harm to the earth. It’s not a choice, but a natural extension of philosophy,” he said.

The dialogue marked a step forward in media cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between China and Singapore. By amplifying youth perspectives, it showcased the innovative energy and collaborative potential of both countries, while helping to build a long-term platform for bilateral engagement and shared progress.

Citri Mobile Expands Singapore Repair Network as Jurong and Yishun Demand Grow

Expansion strengthens access to fast, reliable device repair services across Jurong, Yishun, Tampines and Chinatown as demand for urgent technical support rises

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 March 2026 – Citri Mobile has expanded its Singapore repair network with stronger support in Jurong and Yishun, responding to rising demand for faster and more accessible device repair as device failures become increasingly disruptive to daily life.

A Citri Mobile technician performing internal diagnostics at a fully equipped repair station in Singapore.

What often begins as a minor inconvenience can quickly escalate. A phone may take longer to charge, a screen may flicker briefly before stabilising, or a laptop may run hotter than usual during routine use. These early signs are often ignored until the device stops functioning at a critical moment.

In recent months, technicians have observed a noticeable increase in cases involving sudden power loss, charging instability, motherboard-related faults and water damage. These issues often appear gradually before escalating into complete device failure, reflecting a broader shift in how modern devices behave under long-term usage.
Across Singapore, users are increasingly facing device failures at moments where immediate access is essential. A phone may stop responding during a payment, a transport app may fail to load before a journey, or a laptop may refuse to power on just before an important task. In such situations, the priority shifts quickly from convenience to restoring access in order to regain control of payments, communication and daily responsibilities.
Against this backdrop, Citri Mobile and its C3 Smart Repair by Citri Mobile outlets are strengthening support for customers dealing with urgent issues across smartphones, foldable devices, tablets, MacBooks and laptops.
In Jurong, these situations are often experienced during working hours and daily commutes. A phone that powers off unexpectedly mid-transaction or loses signal during navigation can create immediate disruption. In these moments, users searching for phone repair in Jurong often prioritise providers that are nearby, responsive and able to diagnose issues clearly without unnecessary delay.
In Yishun, the pattern frequently unfolds in residential settings. Devices that appear functional the night before may fail completely the next morning. A phone may not power on, a screen may remain black despite vibration, or a device may show signs of internal failure after minor exposure to moisture or accidental spills. When access to essential services is affected, the need for immediate local support becomes more urgent.
Water damage continues to be one of the more unpredictable causes of device failure. Even small amounts of moisture can lead to corrosion within internal components, affecting charging circuits, display connections or motherboard stability. In some cases, devices may continue to function temporarily before deteriorating rapidly over time.
At the same time, laptop and MacBook issues remain a significant concern, particularly for users who rely on their devices for work, study and communication. A MacBook that fails to power on, shuts down under load or shows inconsistent charging behaviour often indicates deeper issues such as logic board faults, battery degradation or power management instability.
For iPhone-related repairs, some users also look for providers that participate in Apple’s Independent Repair Provider programme, where applicable. Those seeking specialised support may explore iPhone repair in Singapore when reliability, diagnostics and parts compatibility are key considerations.
These issues are no longer isolated to one category of device. Similar underlying problems — including power IC faults, charging circuit instability and motherboard-level failures — can affect both smartphones and laptops. In many cases, users turn to providers offering broader device repair services in Singapore to address multiple concerns within a single visit.
In more complex cases, symptoms may appear inconsistent at first. A device may turn on intermittently, charge irregularly, or shut down without warning before failing entirely. These patterns often require careful diagnosis rather than immediate part replacement, particularly when internal board-level issues are involved.
Across Singapore, from Jurong and Yishun to Tampines and Chinatown, users increasingly choose repair providers that are close by, familiar and capable of handling both straightforward and complex faults with dependable turnaround. Customers in the northern region may also rely on nearby options such as mobile repair in Yishun for quicker access.
Citri Mobile said its recent expansion reflects a broader shift in customer expectations, where speed, clarity and reliability play a more significant role in decision-making.
“People usually start searching seriously when the problem stops them from doing something important,” a Citri Mobile spokesperson said. “Once payments, work access or communication are affected, the decision becomes immediate. They want a nearby solution they can trust.”
Citri Mobile operates across multiple Singapore locations under both Citri Mobile and C3 Smart Repair by Citri Mobile, supporting a wide range of repair needs from screen and battery replacements to charging issues, water damage recovery and motherboard-level repairs.
The company’s recent milestones include recognition as a Carousell Preferred Partner, receipt of the Carousell Best Service Award 2025, CaseTrust accreditation, and participation in Apple’s Independent Repair Provider programme for iPhone-related repair support.
With stronger coverage in Jurong and Yishun, alongside continued support in Chinatown and Tampines, Citri Mobile aims to improve access to timely and reliable device repair services for customers across the wider Singapore market.
