Philanthropist and Watch Afficionado, Chen Zhi, Instills Confidence in Future Cambodian Watchmakers with Class Visit.<\/p>\n
Neak Oknha Chen Zhi, Chairman of Prince Holding Group, one of the largest and fastest-growing conglomerates in Cambodia, visited students of Prince Horology Vocational Training Center undergoing training in the art of Swiss watchmaking.<\/p>\n
The 6 Cambodians students, currently under full scholarships and stipend, are set to graduate as the first watchmakers in Cambodia who can repair and assemble watches to Swiss standards – considered widely as the benchmark in the world of luxury watches.<\/p>\n
Chen Zhi has paid keen attention to the institute in his personal capacity, supported through Prince Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Group. The center forms a key linchpin of the Group’s broader efforts to elevate education across Cambodia via scholarship programmes, thought leadership trainings, and other CSR initiatives.<\/p>\n
“Three years back, this was just a vision,” shares Chen Zhi. “I am impressed with the progress that has been made since we founded the school before the start of the pandemic and I look forward to see the birth of Cambodia’s first-ever watchmakers trained to Swiss standards.”<\/p>\n
Learning all about horology at a center with best-in-class equipment and from international experts, Chen Zhi hopes the passion of these future pioneer watchmakers can serve as an inspiration for high-end craftsmanship across Cambodia.<\/p>\n
“Unique to Cambodia, the school brings world-class facilities that rival those found in ateliers or facilities in Switzerland” said Sack-Man Loui, Executive Principal of Prince Horology. “As instructors, we want to do our part to further elevate a culture of artisanal craftsmanship, and have spared no expense to ensure our Cambodian students get the very best.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
