Parnis Watch Co. is a watch brand sold primarily in Europe and the United States. Xiao Jian Hong (Guangzhou, China) owns the trademarks and has been responsible for the expansion of the brand since 2005. PARNIS markets its products through its official website (www.parnis.org) and through multiple other online channels including several resellers and distributors operating on eBay and Amazon. [1][2][3][4] Suntime Watch Company markets the Parnis brand through regional distributors, while Pa Jie markets to large clients and customers wanting to outsource watch production. The manufacturing facilities remain in Tong De Wei, Guangzhou while the main Office has been relocated to Hong Kong to support its international growth (2017).[5]

Parnis Automatic with Power Reserve

PARNIS uses Seagull movements in their popular models.[6] With the exception of its domestic sellers in China, the company sells its products on-line primarily through its official website, as well as on eBay and Amazon, by partnering with multiple different resellers and distributors.[7][8]

Parnis designs their watches, contracts for the parts, assembles the watches and plans quality control.[9] The manufacturing facility in Tong De Wei, Guangzhou assembles parts from various vendors. Fu Yuan Xin Watch Product Factory manufacturers the cases and movements are furnished by Sea-Gull, Miyota and Dixmont.[10]

Parnis uses 316L military grade stainless steel cases made with conventional machine processes instead of metal injection molding. As a result, Parnis cases have the tensile strength of competitive watch brands. For example, only Rolex exceeds the 316L standard with its use of 904 grade stainless steel. Rolex's closest competitor, Omega, uses 316L military grade stainless steel. A majority of stainless steel watches follow the 304 standard, which are anti-magnetic, but lack the tensile strength required for use in high pressure environments.[11]

The company has a unique distribution system. It wholesales watches and parts to its distributors, while providing services of a fulfillment house. Supply chain management professionals call this drop shipping.[12]

Parnis does not maintain traditional brick and mortar stores or boutiques; however, you can find shops in manufacturers' outlets like the Guangzhou Watches Wholesale Market where Suntime Watch Co. Ltd, does maintain a mall store). It's located at Shop A026, NO. 61, West Station Road (ZhanXi Road), Guangzhou, China.[13][14]
