• 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:

• Keith Haring study for Swatch Ad.  Sotheby's (London) is auctioning (Lot #20, 23-JAN) the b/w artwork Untitled (Study for Swatch Watch) by Keith Haring.  Current bid is 38,000 GBP (ouch!).  The artwork is a study (slightly different!) for the famous advertisement for the 1985 artist Swatch watch Modèle Avec Personnages (GZ100).  Very nice and very rare!  On the backside of the frame, a color version of the study can be found.
