The Hongkong International Coin Convention & Antique Watch Fair (HICC) has been a major force in Asia’s coin and banknote market for nearly 40 years. Founded in 1982 by Mr. Ma Tak Wo as the Hongkong International Coin Convention, it was rebranded as the Hongkong International Coin Convention & Antique Watch Fair in 1991. The HICC is now the most comprehensive and diversified duty-free event of its kind in the region, as well as the oldest in Hong Kong. Popular with traders and collectors in more than 20 regions and countries, the event attracts visitors from all over the world. With the retirement of Mr. Ma in 2018, the convention is now organised and managed by a dedicated new team formed by Mr. Sam Hung, Mr. Simon Wong and Mr. Wayne Wong, who have amassed extensive industry expertise from running their own specialist events, such as the Hong Kong Watch Guild Show.
