About Us - Behind the Scenes, Behind Wandering Hours

My name is Liren, a watch enthusiast. I founded Wandering Hours 2 years ago.

You see the wrists down in the picture? They are all mine (16 cm  circumference, just for your reference to compare the watch size). 

Like you, I am also fascinated by the charm of mechanical wrist watches. I watched a lot of watch review videos, try to understand the well-known watch brands and models, compare their specs and history. Finally, pulled some triggers and got some "serious" watches.

Luckily, I have an understandable wife. So I can expand my watch collection. Not satisfied by "normal" Swiss watch (and can not afford hyper watches). I start to look into Aliexpress watches. Got some bargaining deals and surprised myself for their quality.

Still, shopping on Aliexpress is all fun, but not hustle free: easily 3 weeks of waiting, surprising import charges, and overwhelming searches and compares (the search engine on Aliexpress is not really helping).

Also, not all watches are accessible on Aliexpress. Many of them are only available in the Chinese domestic market. That is when I have the idea to build a platform to bring the interesting Chinese microbrands to Europe and beyond. Therefore, you are here, seeing the Wandering Hours as it is today.

As a Chinese living in Germany, I have both the understanding of the "Made in China" and the practical mindset of the Germans, which makes me a perfect concierge for you to tap into the world of Chinese microbrands.
