===== History =====
**China Haidian** was founded in [[2005]] as a real estate holding company before entering the Chinese watch market. The holding company established a major watch distribution network in China, **International Volant Limited**, which owns two major Chinese watch brands, [[Ebohr]] and [[Rossini]], and purchased or established major watch movement and precious metal processing factories in China.

It added [[Corum]] in [[2013]] for CHF 86 million and [[Dreyfuss Group]] (owner of [[Rotary]]) in [[2014]] for HK 351 million. Eterna and Rotary had been part of [[ASUAG]]/[[SMH]] before being spun out in management buy-outs in the 1980's.

The company was renamed **Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group Limited** on July 7, [[2014]].
