Time to Spring
Like spring, Swatch stands for positive energy: a renewable one, a stream of lively creativity that allows even the driest branch to get to a new life.
From a season of confinement to a season of blooming ideas and new beauty.
We were confined but not immobile : the ticking heart of Swatch continues to generate new projects and evolve.
Time… is what we make of it!
The dial of the 2021 shareholders’ watch is intentionally not centered, and only the branch on the upper part of the bracelet bears flowers, while none are to be found on the lower part.
