Formosa Watch

Brand Official Website and E-commerce System Integration

As the luxury watch industry transforms, this project assisted 'Formosa Watch' in initiating its website reconstruction. Authorized to represent international brands like Rolex and Tudor, Formosa Watch crossed over from a static site into digital commerce for the first time. Using a two-phase strategy, we constructed an e-commerce framework with high-end visuals, modular backends, and full shopping functionality, anchoring the brand's digital presence and membership management.

CHALLENGES

Project Challengesand In-Depth Assessment

In this collaboration, we addressed high-demand luxury e-commerce challenges in technology and operations:

01

Building E-commerce from Scratch

The original site was purely static; we designed the order management workflow and shopping mechanisms from the ground up.

To ensure team familiarity, we designed a phased rollout strategy to minimize the impact of system transition.

Strict Brand Visual Guidelines

International brands (Rolex, Tudor) require annual updates; the system must support high style-switchability and design flexibility.

Complex Product Maintenance

Watch data is vast and detailed; the backend requires an intuitive interface and flexible filing logic for efficiency.
