- WANTED! Mimmo Paladino (#021/100). I am
asking for your help: The Mimmo
Paladino Swatch (#021/100) has been stolen on its way
from the UK to Germany. Apparently, the package was opened
during transport (with TNT Express) and the watch (incl. the metal
box) was taken out of the parcel. If this watch shows up
somewhere or is being offered for sale: Please inform
me so that I can forward the info.....
- WANTED! Perfect Timing Swatch (#332/700). I am asking for your help. The
following bad incident has happened to a friend of mine without
internet access: The Perfect Timing Swatch (#332/700) has been
stolen on its way from the USA to Germany. Apparently, the package
was opened during transport and the watch (including the plexi glass
tube) was taken out of the parcel. The outer white cardboard tube
was still in the parcel and can be seen here.
If this watch shows up somewhere or is being offered for sale
(remember that it will come without the white paper tube), I would
be VERY happy if you could inform
me about the seller. This watch has been STOLEN! Back to
the regular news service:
- Beijing 2022 Olympics Volunteer / NOC specials. For
the Beijing
2022 Olympic Winter Games in February, NOC (National Olympic
Committee) specials have been issued as usual: A (so far unknown)
Bio-Sourced Gent Beijing 2022
NOC Hong Kong (SO28Z104D)
in a special red paper sleeve. For Germany, we have: Beijing
2022 NOC Germany (SO28Z104C)
with no special loop around the strap but a nice pin.
If you know of any other NOC Beijing watches, please let
me know. Update: A Bio-Sourced Gent Beijing 2022 Volunteer
special (SO28Z104) is distributed to
volunteers at the Olympics, 30,000 pcs have been produced, so it
should not be too hard to get. It is packaged in a special
red paper box. The strap and the loop are different compared
to the NOC specials. Update 2: Beijing
2022 NOC Liechtenstein (SO28Z104E,
loop). Thanks to Tak Lun Lee, Thomas Chan, and to Daniel Licata for
the photos.
- Long interview with Nick Hayek. A long
and interesting video interview with Swatch Group CEO Nick
Hayek can be found on the blick.ch website.
In the 23 minutes interview (in [Swiss]German), Nick talks about the
success of the MoonSwatch, the independence of the Swatch Group
(enabling such bold decisions as the MoonSwatch), his former career
as a film director, and the situation in different watch markets
around the world (Russia, China, ...). Really interesting.
- The Joy Of Swatch. Hodinkee has published a
nice report
How
Swatch Went From Disrupter To Iconic Brand. A
great read (although nothing really new for the die-hard Swatch
collectors :-)
- New Swatch store Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. A new Swatch
store will be opened soon
in Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (main train station in Hamburg,
Germany). That's good news after the closure of many Swatch
stores in Germany in 2020/21. Thanks MoonSwatch
:-) Thanks
to Fabien Perissinotto for the photo.
- Crankworx Big Bold special. Crankworx,
the world’s biggest gravity-fuelled mountain bike festival, descends
on Innsbruck (Austria) from 15 to 19-JUN. A Big Bold
Bioceramic Crankworx Special Edition
is now available onsite at the event in the Swatch
truck. Update: A similar Big Bold
Bioceramic Crankworx Whistler (SB03B100E,
$175 CAD) is now available in the Swatch Canada Online store,
released for the Crankworx
Whistler festival (05 to 14-AUG).
Thanks to Thomas
Chan for the information.
- Neptune MoonSwatch available again. It seems that
the Mission To Neptune MoonSwatch
is available again in the shops. Only very very few pcs of
course (a Swiss MoonSwatch store got 1 per day recently). Mission To Neptune MoonSwatch was
withdrawn from sale immediately after the launch on 26-MAR as the
blue case was "bleeding"
blue a little bit on the wrist. Now a new mixture for
the Bioceramic has been found and an updated version of Mission
To Neptune MoonSwatch is available for sale
again. This second version should be optically identical to
the first version available at launch. Hopefully, the crazy
prices for Mission To Neptune MoonSwatch
will come down a bit. But it may take some time as tourists
and swiss people in (eg.) Zurich are still queuing
for the MoonSwatch after all these months....
- Swatch Ballon up in the air. The well known Swatch
Balloon (code HB-BHC,
featuring the 80s Gent Nine To Six and the
Lady watch Neo Quad) went off for
the first flight after many years on 01-AUG
in Switzerland. Here
is a photo of the start. In the 80s, there were four similar
Swatch balloons in existence. Today, one of these is located
in England and two of them in Switzerland (owned by a Swiss
collector). The fourth balloon is missing. Thanks
to Antonio Greco for the information and
photos.
- Carlo Giordanetti interview. Here
is an interesting recent interview (in German) with Carlo
Giordanetti (Member of the Product and Design Committee
Swatch) about MoonSwatch and the recent success of Swatch.
- MoonSwatch Summer Tour. A MoonSwatch
Summer Tour has just been announced on Fratellowatches
and Watchpro.
Nick Hayek had hinted at such mobile sales locations in Europe in a
recent interview. Known dates
/ locations so far: Biel (12-JUL), Amsterdam
(14-JUL), Paris
Montmartre
(15-JUL), Isola
Di Ré (hint).
The teaser photo hints
at: Barcelona, Ibiza, Locarno, London, Marbella, Mykonos,
Porto Cervo, St. Tropez and further cities in France, Germany
(CW29), Greece, Portugal... Update: It is
unclear if the watches will be available directly on the location or
not (maybe they are shipped later). Watchpro has some
new info:
"Swatch is promising to
have MoonSwatches available to buy at each pop-up.". On
the other hand, the Fratellowatches author comments: "Also,
I think only
pre-orders are available from the cars themselves, no actual
watches will be available to purchase directly. Whether it’s home
delivery or pick-up at the boutiques, we also don’t know.".
Update: A special MoonSwatch
Summertour webpage on the Swatch website, not much info
though unfortunately. It seems as if Swatch wants to keep the
exact dates / locations secret... Update 2: Additionally,
several new
MoonSwatch stores have been opened recently (in Canada, China,
Greece, Italy, Switzerland, and USA). Update: The
special MoonSwatch
Journey webpage on the Swatch website about the
MoonSwatch Summer Tour now shows a
huge number of photos of the different stops across
Europe. Amazing!
- Locarno Film Festival 2022 special. A special New
Gent Swatch Locarno75 (SO29Z702,
100 CHF) for the 75th
Locarno Film Festival 2022 (03 to 13-AUG) is now on sale
in Switzerland, also in the Swiss online
store. The special is packaged in a yellow
paper sleeve. A great watch, finally a real special
Swatch. The cool watch design is by Italian artist Vito
Manolo (@vitomanoloroma).
- Swiss Destination specials available online. On
01-AUG, Switzerland celebrates Swiss
National Day. 10 different Swiss Destination
specials are available in the Swatch
Online Store until 02-AUG. Additionally, two special
SwatchXYou watch are available online in the Swiss Online
Store: 1. Festanew
(canvas); 2. La

- Swatch at Biennale Arte 2022 / special Swatch watches. The
59th International Art Exhibition Biennale
Arte 2022 will take place in Venice, Italy, from 23-APR
to 27-NOV. As in the last years, Swatch is a main sponsor of
the Biennale (for the sixth time) and will present
five artists from the Swatch

venue in Venice (Swatch Faces
2022): 1. Landi
(China); 2. Xue
Fei (China); 3. Tang
Shu (China); 4. Shin
Hoyoon (South Korea); 5. Marcelot
(Switzerland / Brazil). Additionally, Swatch has
invited Thai artist Navin
Rawanchaikul to the Giardini,
where he will create The
Description of The World, an installation created
specific to that place. Swatch will also
release a Swatch artist special by Navin
Rawanchaikul in September as well as a watch
inspired by the graphic identity of the Biennale
Arte 2022. Carlo
Giordanetti (Swatch
Management and CEO Swatch Art Peace Hotel) presented
this information during the online
press conference for the Biennale Arte
2022 in February. Hopefully,
Swatch Club will offer the possibility of visiting Biennale Arte
2022 as in earlier years. Update: The Description of
The World at the Giardini
has been unveiled
at a press event
before the official opening of Biennale
Arte 2022 (video).
Swatch has released two specials for Biennale
Arte 2022, both available in the shops: 1. Gent White Dream by Swatch (GW151R, 75
EURO); 2. New Gent Black Milk by
Swatch (SUOB720R, 85 EURO). Here
is a picture of the packaging of the watches, new eco packaging with
special sleeve. Update 2: A special
Biennale SwatchXYou Milk
Of Dream (canvas)
is now available in the Swatch Italy Online store. Preprinted
Milk Of Dream SwatchXYou watches are available in the
Swatch store in Venice.
- Destination specials Pop-up store at Geneva airport. Until
01-AUG, Swatch is selling many Destination specials at a Pop-up
store in Geneva airport (airside, so you need a flight
ticket). Now is the time to complete your collection. Here are
photos of the available Destination Swatch watches (I counted 53
different ones) in the Destination Pop-up store.
- Hors Du Temps Swatch exhibition. 500
Swatch watches will be on display in the Hors

(Switzerland) from 17-JUL to 30-AUG. Swatch watches by artists

Mimo Rotella, Mika, Rankin, Sam Fancis, ... and early Swatch

about 600 Swatch watches will be available for sale. Update:
Carlos Zanotelli send me photos
from the exhibition during the exhibition pre-opening event
for Swatch Club Gold & Pioneer members on
16-JUL.
- Inside the MoonSwatch production facilities. Fratello
Watches has published a nice exclusive report: Inside
the MoonSwatch production facilities.
Additionally, they recently conducted an interview
with Swatch Group CEO Nick Hayek about the MoonSwatch where Nick
shared some stories about the time before and during the MoonSwatch
Launch (some of these stories were shared with the Swatch Gold &
Pioneer members earlier during the MoonSwatch
Experience in Biel in May). Here
is a short Instagram Reel with a few impressions from the production
facilities. Update: Wired Magazine also
has a nice
long report about the MoonSwatch and how it came to life.
- Chinese Valentine specials.
Chinese Valentines Day (Qixi)
is celebrated on 04-AUG. Swatch has launched two special
watches to celebrated Chinese
Valentines Day: 1. Gent Red Heart
By Swatch (SO28Z111, special
packaging); 2. New Gent Heart
In Blue By Swatch
(SO29Z701, special packaging). A
special set (SZS37, 185 EURO) containing
both watches will also be available.
- Beach Pro Gstaad special. The Swatch Beach Pro Gstaad
will take place from 6 to 10-JUL as a tournament in the highest
category of the Beach Volleyball Pro Tour. A special
SwatchPAY! Super Power Volleyball
(SVIB107C-5300) has been released for this event (with a paper
loop around the sleeve), it is also available online on the
Swiss Swatch Online store. Update: Swatch
Club Switzerland invited 20 Club members as VIP Guests to the
tournament. Here is a nice
report with a few photos by Christine Tanner.
- Swatch Group Apprenticeship Graduation special. For
the Swatch
Group apprenticeship graduation 2022, each apprentice
received a nice Big Bold Swatch (looks like Big Bold Bioceramic C-White (SB03W100)) with a special apprenticeship
graduation 2022 display. If I counted the list of
apprentices correctly, 156
displays were distributed.
- Paris Megastore reopening event. On 02-JUN, the
Swatch Paris Champs-Élysées Megastore was reopened after a long
redecoration period. Thomas Sonneville sent me photos and
infos from the Swatch Club
reopening event on 02-JUN. Two special
SwatchXYou by Decktwo
(aka Thomas Dartigues) will be available: Decktwo produced
2 canvases: one will be
available worldwide (right) and the other one is exclusively
available at the Megastore (left). No special watches were produced
for this event. Update: On the day of the
reopening event (02-JUN), the printing machine for the SwatchXYou
was not usable, so it was impossible to print the special Decktwo
canvases for a few days. Meanwhile, the printing machine was
repaired so Thomas met again with Decktwo for a special
signing session. Update 2: The worldwide
SwatchXYou Decktwo
2 (canvas) is
now available in the Swatch Online Store. Update
3: Swatch has published a nice video
about the Paris
Megastore reopening event. Update 4: The
second "exclusive" canvas is now available in the Swatch France
Online store: Decktwo1
ok (canvas).
A preliminary version of the canvas had an issue with the "2DS"
company logo on a truck in the picture...
- MoonSwatch will be available in more locations. Some
interesting MoonSwatch info in a recent interview
with Nick Hayek: 1. Swatch plans to introduce "11
flexible retail locations during the summer" in Europe where the
MoonSwatch will be sold (I guess popup stores, sales trucks
etc.). 2. Swatch will add additional 25 stores selling the MoonSwatch
in July and August, including new locations in Switzerland,
Thailand, Malaysia and the U.S. 3. The sales of Omega
Speedmaster Moonwatch (the expensive original!) have
increased in Omega stores by more than 50% since the launch of the MoonSwatch
in March. So I guess that the risk of introducing the
MoonSwatch pays off...
- French Destination special available online. As part
of Swatch
Celebrates France (14-JUL, Bastille Day), the Bisous
De Paris Destination special is available online.
- "iSwatch" Big Bold. In addition to a "Tick
Different" Skin Bioceramic, Swatch has now released a Big Bold
in order to further protect the "iSwatch" claim
(trademark?): Big Bold Iswatch Blue
(SB01N102). No "iSwatch" imprint on the watch or strap or
loop, though. Thanks to
David Rippmann for the hint.
- Swiss Music Festivals SwatchPAY! specials. SwatchPAY!
is accepted at several Swiss
Music Festivals (Openair
Frauenfeld [06 to 09-JUL] and Gurtenfestival
Bern [13 to 16-JUL]) during this summer and Swatch has
now released two SwatchPAY! Swiss Music Festivals specials:
1. Headtailspay! Openair
Frauenfeld (SO32B112C-5300,
100 CHF); 2. Blackback Pay!
Gurtenfestival Bern (SVIB105C-5300,
100 CHF). These specials are only available onsite at the
festivals and in three Swatch stores in Switzerland.
Thanks to Ines Brem
for the information and pictures.
- Porto São João special packaging. For the
traditional Festa de São João do Porto
(23/24-JUN), Swatch Portugal has released a limited special
packaging Swatch Porto - Ed. Sao Jao
(SUOZ315SCC, 120
EURO). The special packaging
contains the Destination special Swatch
Porto (SUOZ315, Destination
Special #64) and is not
numbered (according to rumors: 200 pcs). The packaging
is quite big (ca. 40 x 30 x 8 cm) and it is shaped in the form of
the traditional funny plastic
hammer ("One of the main traditions of São
João festival is to lightly pound the head of everyone you
meet on the street with a plastic hammer."). Click here
to see a few photos from this amazing street festival a few days
ago. This new packaging is the third packaging version of the
Destination special Swatch Porto
(special packaging Porto Reserva
(SUOZ315SC) is the second packaging
version). Thanks to Paula and Miguel for this wonderful experience.
- US Destination specials available online. As part of
Swatch
Celebrates USA (04-JUL, Independence Day), seven
US Destination specials are available online for a few
days. Additionally, the SwatchXYou Swatch
Celebrates USA (4th of July, canvas)
is available again too.
- Café de Flore special. On 22-JUN, a special Swatch
X Café De Flore For Not In Paris (SUOZ347) was launched
on Highsnobiety
(sold
out). You can find more information
about this collaboration on the Swatch website. The
watch is packaged in a nice special box
and it is supposedly limited to 1000 pcs.
It has a nice mirror dial. The
watch is available online and it is (was?) available in a Parisian
pop-up store, located at 35 Rue
des Francs-Bourgeois, 75004. Here
is a small report by Highsnobiety. Thanks to Thomas Chan for the hint
and to David Catel for the photos.
- "Swatch Celebrates" SwatchXYou available again. Two
"Swatch Celebrates" SwatchXYou are available again in the German
Swatch online store: 1. Frankfurt
Grüne Sosse (canvas);
2. Swatch
Celebrates USA (4th of July, canvas).
- Pride month Swatch watches. June is LGBTQ+
Pride Month. Two Swatch Pride
themed watches are available in the Swatch Online Store:
1. New Gent Biosourced Stripe Fierce
(SO29K701); 2. Big Bold Bioceramic Peace
Hand Love (SB03N105). A colorful SwatchXYou Pride
(canvas) is available as
well. Update: In the German Swatch online
store, a variation of the colorful SwatchXYou is available: Köln
Pride (canvas).
- Opening Event Swatch Store Berlin. On 23-JUN, Swatch
Club Germany has invited the Club members to an opening event of a
new Swatch store in Berlin (Tauentzienstraße 17). This store
has a unique design which
will be finished during the day by the Tape
That Collective. Update: Here
are a few photos of the new store. Very colorful, I like it!
- Skin Classic
Bioceramic / "Tick Different". Swatch has launched a
new Bioceramic
product line with five new watches: Skin
Classic Bioceramic. One of the five models is Tick Different Blanca
(SS09W100). The name of this watch contains the slogan "Tick
different". There was a long court battle between Apple
(owning the "Think different" trademark) and Swatch ("Tick
different"). Swatch had been sued by Apple about the use of
the "Tick different" slogan. Recently, Apple
has lost yet another trademark battle to Swatch.
So the usage of the "Tick different" in the name of the Skin Swatch
is surely no coincidence, strengthening the "Tick different" usage
by Swatch. Thanks to
David Rippmann for the hint.

- MoonSwatch battery cover / straps / production codes. Finally
a brave Swatch collector (Pioneer Member Tak Lun Lee) took the
challenge and carefully(!) opened
the battery cover of his MoonSwatch (one Swatch store in
Germany told me that they haven't opened the battery cover of a
MoonSwatch so far). The battery cover (with the planet
imprint) is a new
construction. The special "Planet" battery covers will
(are?) be available as replacement parts. Not surprisingly,
the MoonSwatch takes a Renata 394 battery which we all know from the
Swatch Plastic Chronos (MoonSwatch has a standard ETA
G10.212 [slightly modified] calibre). Additional
information about the MoonSwatch straps: All MoonSwatches
are delivered with "M" straps (except for the pink Mission
to Venus which is delivered with "S"). The
strap size is embossed on the backside of the strap (backside of
"swatch" logo). See the red
square on this photo, showing an "M" strap. Meanwhile,
replacement straps are available in S, M, L (except for the
pink Mission to Venus: only
available in S and M), price is 25 CHF each. If you buy a
MoonSwatch and if you need a different strap size: You should
be able to exchange the strap for free during the purchase
(depending on strap availability of course :-) Update: Tak
Lun Lee sent me photos of the inside of the battery compartment
where we can read the production codes (that's our guess): Mission To Jupiter
("IC10c") / Mission To The
Sun ("IC08c"). We assume that "C" stands for
"2022" and that "08" is "calendar week 08" (21 to 27-FEB) etc.
This watch was bought in May. Can you share a production code
of a watch from launch day (26-MAR)?
- Four new SwatchXYou canvases. Four new "permanent"
SwatchXYou specials are now available in the Swatch Online
Store: Geometry Madness: 1. Form
(canvas); 2. Puzzle
(canvas); Power
Nature: 3. Camo
(canvas); 4. Jungle

for the hint.
- Spanish SwatchXYou special. A nice new local
SwatchXYou special ("square
periscope") is now available in the Spanish Swatch Online
store: Periscopio
Cuadrado (canvas).
No further info why this watch has been released. Thanks to Joachim Meyer
for the hint.
- Expo 2020 Dubai Maxi. A recent photo from Expo
2020 Dubai shows a (unique?) Expo
2020 Dubai Maxi Swatch. It was used for
decoration purposes and it was not available for sale.
- Tokyo Olympics 2020 IOC special. A nice Tokyo
Olympics 2020 IOC special (with the olympic rings on the dial) has
surfaced: A SISTEM51 Sistem Planet
IOC (SUTZ410). It is
packaged in a nice special Tokyo 2020 paper
box. The watch is a SISTEM51 Sistem
Planet (SUTW404) with olympic
rings on the dial and a special
imprint on the back of the watch case: "Limited Edition
2020". Very hard to find. The recent IOC
specials seem to be much more limited compared to previous years
(maybe until 2017). The watch is listed as "Limited
Edition 2020 Sistem Planet" in the Swatch database.
- Vintage Swatches in Stranger Things. The 80s related
Netflix series Stranger

- Over The Moon Gold & Pioneer Event. For the
first time after 2019, the traditional Gold & Pioneer Swatch
Club event took place from 24 to 25-MAY in Biel, Switzerland.
Swatch had invited(!) 130 Club members from 13 countries for an Over
The Moon event at the Swatch HQ in Biel, Switzerland.
The highlight of the event was a 3 hour "MoonSwatch
experience": A presentation and a long Q&A session
with Swatch Group
CEO Nick Hayek
and key members of the team that created the amazing Bioceramic
MoonSwatch Collection. We got unique and exclusive
insights into the development process of the MoonSwatch which were
not shared before. Each invited club member received a nice
special Gent Over The Moon (GZ160E)
as a gift, packaged in a nice paper sleeve. The special is the
old 1999 Club Special Space Dreams (GZ160)
with an additional "Over The Moon" loop
around the strap and the date of the event on the back
of the loop. Additionally, the club members also
received the first NFT by Swatch (MoonSwatch
NFT collection OverTheMoon
24-25 May 2022 on OpenSea [not verified Swatch or
Omega??!?]) and quite a few other
goodies. Update: On 25-MAY, a
special SwatchXYou G&P Exclusive
(canvas),
SUOK136-999, 125 CHF)
was available in the Planet
Swatch Museum in Biel for one day only. Photos of
