The vision of Dennis Chan, founder and creative director of Qeelin, China’s first Luxury Jewellery Brand is: To bring the best of China to the world.

Chan started his career in London as a designer in a local consultancy. He then came back to Hong Kong to join the design consultancy headed by the renowned “Godfather” of product design, Mr. Ken Shimasaki. In 1989, Chan set up his own company, Longford, providing professional design consultancy services to international brands and institutions.

Over the years, Chan has been continuously challenging himself on multi-disciplinary designs. He believes that design has no boundaries, and his move to luxury jewellery design is the natural extension of his lifelong passion for exquisite timepieces and fine jewellery. His luxury designs for Qeelin first made headlines when the charismatic Maggie Cheung wore the Wulu collection while receiving Gold Palm Award for “Best Actress” at 2004 Cannes Film Festival.
