**Free Town Watch Products** (formerly **Renley Watch Manufacturing**) is a Hong Kong-based watch manufacturing and marketing company best known for the [[Jean d'Eve]], [[Sultana]], and [[Temporis]] brands.

===== History =====
Renley Watch Manufacturing was formed in [[1983]] by Hong Kong businessman, Stanley Lau. The company acted as a private label manufacturer and assembler of watches using Swiss movements in Hong Kong until acquiring [[Jean d'Eve|Le Phare-Sultana SA]] of [[La Chaux-de-Fonds]] and [[Buler|Buler Quartz SA]] of [[Lengnau]] in [[1991]]. This allowed the company to produce Swiss Made watches for clients as well as under the brands, [[Buler]], [[Jean d'Eve]], [[Le Phare]], [[Sultana]], and [[Temporis]]. Some markets also used the Renley name as a brand.

By the 2000s, the company was transformed with the Swiss manufacturing slowly winding down and other Lau family members taking over. By [[2002]] the company was renamed **Free Town Watch Products** and launched new products under the Temporis, Jean d'Eve, and Sultana brands. These were promoted and pushed until [[2017]], when activity seems to have halted.
