★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 日本でもメガネや時計のディスカウント店は数多くありますが、マラッカでコンタクトやメガネ、時計を安売りしている高級店を紹介します。ラマダ(旧ルネッサンス)ホテルから徒歩で3分の距離にあるコンファ(光華・Kong Wah)という老舗です。
マラッカの主なショッピングセンターに「光華・Kong Wah」というお店のチェーンは約18店舗。最高級ショッピングセンターのマコタパレードには、4店舗も出店しています。お店の内装や品揃えを少しずつ変えているのでパッと見たら同一店舗に見えませんが看板の文字はチェーン店を表しています。
ブンガラヤ通りにあるこのお店は、コンファ・グループの本店。お店のあるマラッカの銀座通り、ジャラン・ブンガラヤ通りの住所地番が100番なので、地元のヒトは、親しみをこめてコンファ・ハンドレットと呼んでいます。
社長のMr. Vincent Leeさんの3人兄弟の長男Mr.Paul(ポール)氏が店長として営業しています。
店長Mr.Paul(ポール)氏は、マラッカで高校卒業後イギリスへ留学。ロンドンの私立大学で博士号を取得したオプトメトリスト(検眼や視力・視覚機能の専門職)。お客さんの視力検査にも最新式の機械を使って測定し、その結果をお客さんにアドバイスしてくれる親切な店長さんです。
自分の視力がわからない、最近ハッキリ見えなくなってきた人は迷わず、視力検査をしてもらってください。無料ですが、日本語は通じないので英語のやりとりになりますがキチンと測定してくれます。写真で紹介していませんがメガネやブランドサングラスも激安ですから値段を聞いてみてください。
店長Mr.Paul(ポール)氏は、マラッカで高校卒業後イギリスへ留学。ロンドンの私立大学で博士号を取得したオプトメトリスト(検眼や視力・視覚機能の専門職)です。世界的に人気沸騰中のシニアグラス(現地では読書眼鏡:リーディンググラスと呼んでいます)も豊富な在庫でピンからキリまで商品が揃っています。
さて、このお店の半分の面積を持つ時計部門の説明もしておきましょう。まず最初に驚くべき事実をお伝えします。ボタン電池式のクォーツ(ごく普通の時計)の電池交換。ナント、2~300円でその場でやってくれます。所要時間はわずか1~2分。交換する電池はメイドイン・ジャパンです。
日本の時計店で、電池交換したらいくらするんだろう・・・。300円前後でテキパキ電池交換してくれる技術と安さに脱帽です。家賃と人件費が高い日本の時計店で、クォーツ時計の電池交換って儲かるサービスのひとつだと思いますが、それにしてもボリ過ぎなんじゃないでしょうか?
コンファの本店にはウデの良い職人さんが常駐しているので、電池交換だけじゃなく機械式ムーブメントの修理やメンテナンスも引きうけてくれます。筆者の腕時計も、修理不可能と思えるトラブルをチョチョイのチョイと半日ほどで治してくれたことがあるのでウデの確かさは保証します。
There are many discount stores for eyeglasses and watches in Japan, but here are some high-end stores that sell contact lenses, eyeglasses, and watches in Malacca. It is a long-established store called Konfa (Kong Wah), which is a 3-minute walk from the Ramada (former Renaissance) Hotel.
There are about 18 chain stores called "Kong Wah" in Malacca's main shopping centers. The Makota Parade, a top-class shopping center, has four stores. Since the interior and product lineup of the store are changing little by little, it does not look like the same store at first glance, but the letters on the signboard represent chain stores.
This store on Bungalaya Street is the main store of the Confa Group. The address and lot number of Jalan Bungalaya Street, Ginza Street in Malacca, where the shop is located, is 100, so local people familiarly call it the Confa Handlet.
Mr. Paul, the eldest son of three brothers, Mr. Vincent Lee, the president, is operating as the store manager.
The manager, Mr. Paul, studied abroad in England after graduating from high school in Malacca. An optometrist with a PhD from a private university in London (a profession in optometry and visual acuity / visual function). He is a kind store manager who uses the latest machines to measure the eyesight of customers and gives advice to customers.
If you don't know your eyesight, or if you haven't been able to see clearly recently, don't hesitate to have your eyesight tested. It's free, but I can't speak Japanese, so I can communicate in English, but it will measure it. Although not shown in the photo, glasses and brand sunglasses are also very cheap, so please ask for the price.
The manager, Mr. Paul, studied abroad in England after graduating from high school in Malacca. I am an optometrist (specialist in optometry and visual acuity / visual function) with a PhD from a private university in London. The world-famous senior glasses (locally called reading glasses: reading glasses) are also in stock, and we have a wide range of products from pins to drills.
Now, let me explain about the watch department, which has half the area of this shop. First of all, let me tell you some amazing facts. Battery replacement for button battery-powered quartz (ordinary watches). Nantes will do it on the spot for 2 to 300 yen. It only takes 1-2 minutes. The battery to be replaced is Made in Japan.
How much would it cost to replace the batteries at a Japanese watch store? I have to take off my hat because of the technology and cheapness that will replace the battery for around 300 yen. I think that replacing the battery of a quartz watch is one of the profitable services at a Japanese watch shop where rent and labor costs are high, but isn't it too boring?
A good craftsman is stationed at the main store of the conference, so not only battery replacement but also repair and maintenance of the mechanical movement can be undertaken. The author's wristwatch has also repaired problems that seemed unrepairable in about half a day with Chochoi's Choi, so I guarantee the certainty of Ude.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I seriously don't recommend you to go this place. Very bad experience. On 11 May 2017, i ordered and paid RM220 for 4 boxes of Biomedic MONTHLY contact lenses (RM55 each box). Kong Wah staff Jenny said there is no immediate stock for us. So we waited a few days and went to collect the contact lenses but were given DAILY contact lenses instead. Wrong! So we insisted to change it to MONTHLY as we ordered MONTHLY ones. So the staff there asked us to come back again after a few days. When my mom went there to collect the MONTHLY contact lenses for us, she was told to pay another RM20 as the staff said that the MONTHLY lenses cost RM5 more each box at RM60. We were very shocked and disappointed of such business ethics by this Kong Wah branch. Damn it!!! We insisted not to pay RM20 more and get the refund through my mom. Please remember and recognise the lady in her 40s/50s named Jenny as posted here. Very dishonest KONG WAH !!! No more next time. I prefer Eyecare at Melaka Raya instead. Shame on you Kong Wah and Jenny !!!
