The company operates its own assembly plant in Tong De Wei, Guangzhou, where watches are designed and assembled using components from established suppliers including Sea-Gull, Miyota, and Dixmont movements. Distribution strategy involves partnerships with resellers including Suntime Watch Company and Pa Jie for OEM outsourcing. Trademark registrations filed in Australia (2011) and US/EU markets (2012). Over nearly two decades, Parnis evolved from a bulk watch supplier to a recognized brand for quality homage watches.
