中國鐘表協會（China Horologe Association）成立于 1985年。是經原國家輕工業部批準、國家民政部批準注冊登記的具有法人資格的一級社會團體，是由從事鐘表生產、經營的工商企業和相關的科研、教學等機構、個人自愿組成的不分經濟性質、跨地區、跨部門的全國性行業組織。 現有200多個團體會員及100多名個人會員，其中包括鐘、表、鐘表零配件、外觀件、原材料、設備、儀器等生產企業、貿易流通單位及研究所、大專院校等。

       中國鐘表協會的宗旨是：在國家法律、法規、方針和政策的指導下，發揮政府和企業之間的橋梁和紐帶作用，維護會員的合法利益，及時反映會員的要求和意愿，為會員服務；指導、幫助企業提高經營水平，促進企業提高經濟效益；堅持改革創新，調整結構，促進行業不斷，倡導行業構建健康的公共環境，推動行業健康、持續、快速發展。

       其基本職能是：開展行業調查研究、反映行業意愿；進行基礎資料的收集、統計，提供國內外技術和市場信息；協助編制行業發展規劃和經濟技術政策；協調行業內外關系、參與行業重大項目決策；提出行業新技術、新工藝、新產品、新材料開發規劃建議；組織重大科技項目攻關和成果鑒定、推廣工作；組織技術交流和培訓、開展技術咨詢服務；促進產品質量提高的活動，實施名牌戰略以及國家級名牌產品推薦、考察工作；舉辦國內專業展覽，促進國內外企業間的交流和貿易；開拓國際市場，進行國外市場調研、組團參展等服務工作；發展同國外相關行業組織的聯系，開展國際間經濟、技術、企業管理等方面的交流與合作；參與產品質量監督和管理及標準的制定和修訂工作；編輯出版行業刊物；承擔政府有關部門下達的各項任務。

       從2010年開始，根據企業的意愿，順應行業發展，中國鐘表協會和深圳市鐘表行業協會將“中國國際鐘表展”和“中國（深圳）國際鐘表展覽會”合并為一展。實現“強強聯合”，宜將展會辦成代表中國鐘表制造大國形象和引領中國鐘表市場的一面旗幟，同時對維護行業團結，促進行業和諧發展，推動中國鐘表業的進步意義深遠。舉辦展覽會的目的是：第一，要把我們的鐘表展辦成行業內交流溝通的平臺；第二，要把展會辦成展示企業形象和實力的平臺；第三，要把展會辦成反映行業態勢的風向標，“兩展合一”的最終目標就是要打造一個世界級的東方鐘表大展。

       中國鐘表協會下設“市場工作委員會”、“科學技術工作委員會”、“職業技術鑒定站”、“機械表專業委員會”、“鐘表收藏委員會”等機構，是“全國鐘表標準化委員會”主任委員單位。

為了向廣大會員提供更好的服務，弘揚鐘表文化，推動行業健康發展，擴大協會與行業的影響力，中國鐘表協會唯一官方網站www.chahor.com（網站中文名：中國鐘表協會）已經完成基本建設，從2013年8月1日起上線試運營，新版網站頁面經過精心設計與制作，力求專業、權威、美觀、簡潔與實用，更加快捷、全面地反映行業信息與會員動態。協會提供的“中國鐘表通訊（電子版）”資訊服務，通過電子郵箱每月定期向各理事、會員單位發布。

中國鐘表協會借助中瑞自貿協定談判的契機，針對瑞方眾多品牌手表進入中國，市場監管缺位，維修服務能力不足，雙方鐘表檢測存在差異等問題；也考慮到國產高端手表制造相對弱小，為營造促進我國表業健康發展環境，提出建立中瑞鐘表合作工作組的要價建議，得到了工信部、商務部的確認，成為我方談判的要價條件。經過反復磋商，數輪談判終于達成了在中瑞貿易聯委會框架下建立中瑞鐘表合作工作組的諒解備忘錄。

《備忘錄》是我國與瑞士共同簽署的第一份鐘表領域政府間合作文件，搭建起中瑞鐘表產業平臺。中瑞經貿聯委會鐘表合作工作組第一次會議于2013年8月26-27日在瑞士伯爾尼召開。

    一年一度的瑞士巴塞爾“世界鐘表珠寶展覽會”是世界鐘表業規模最大的展覽會，我會是巴展組委會指定的也是國家商務部、中國貿促會批復的在全國范圍內唯一組團單位。每年都組織業界同仁作為中國鐘表業的代表參加并參觀“瑞士巴塞爾鐘表珠寶展”。

 中國鐘表協會愿與世界各地的朋友、協會和機構建立友好合作關系，協會與瑞士、日本、德國、法國、英國等鐘表發達國家的行業組織保持著密切友好的往來。

    協會歡迎從事與鐘表生產、銷售有關的各方人士與我們進行各種形式的交流與合作，并加入中國鐘表協會，逐步實現從中國制造飛躍到中國創造的宏偉戰略目標，共同為實現鐘表強國之夢貢獻我們的力量！
