Before the sale started at 3.33pm,
collectors could see the special for the first time "live":
As the presale event had not been
published in the newspapers in Basel (only on the internet of the
Swatch website and via email to club members), just about 50 Swatch
enthousiasts had gathered at the Theaterplatz. The sale started
right on time at 3.33pm. Collectors were able choose the number
of the special, numbers between 0085 and about 0199 were available, I
managed to get the nice number 0111 :-)
Lydia happy while purchasing :-)
No special version of Paint In Blue was issued but
collectors received a set of free "art splash" fridge magnets and a
Swatch keychain with their purchase:
The watch looks cool on Markus wrist! :-)
Michael also has a nice report
about the Basel
presale event and about the Sonic 8 event which took place
at the same weekend as well.
Back to Stay tuned to Swatch.
