Why 6 digits?
HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.
This subclass covers the manufacturing of various cases and components for watches and clocks that are not classified elsewhere. It includes the production of items such as watch dials, crystal covers, metal spring bars, and watch winders, as well as screen printing on metal dials.

- clock dial, manufacturing

- metal spring bar for electronic watch, manufacturing
