City people are more fascinated towards antique pieces and this can be clearly seen in JCI consumer fair. Stall number B8 in Block 1 has gained a surge in popularity within short time. The specialty of this stall is that it is adorned with a range of antique wall clocks. As many as more than hundred clocks of different shape and sizes varying from six inch to four feet are showcased here. The price of the clock starts from `720 — `60,000.

 Seema Gupta who purchased a bronze round clock worth of `780 said, “I was mesmerized to find a unique range of antique clock. I am fond off antique items but the irony is that in Ranchi it is hard to find good antique products. All the clocks displayed here are beautiful.”    

For this time Ethnic clock maker a Jodhpur based company came to Ranchi Expo to showcase their antique clock. This company is popular in country’s metro cities and in international markets. Materials such as copper, iron, silver, MDF board and white metals are used in it.

Owner of the stall Gaurav Ghai said, “We are enjoying a good response from the visitors. Consumer fair is a very big platform and so we choose this podium to introduce our product. People are appreciating it. In just two day we sold as many as 120 clocks and have booking order of around 50 clocks.”

Moreover, Giants Group of International has started a special bus for the visitors to scot them to the fair.
