found with some patience.

watch in the open box packaging
(closed box). It is
rumoured that 3020 pcs have been manufactured. The sticker is
labeled "Bio-source", so the

- Swatch - The Last Great Innovation in Horology? A Collected Man is a
platform for those who love and seek rare mechanical timepieces.
Last September, they published a nice extended cover story entitled Swatch
- The Last Great Innovation in Horology? The story
explains quite well the fun and the challenges of collecting Swatch
watches. Great photos, many details but also numerous
inaccuracies: "12 of the first models Swatch launched in 1983"
show the wrong watches; 99 (or 100 but surely not only 27) Mimmo
Paladino watches were given to VIPs; "Some of the very
first chronographs Swatch released in 1990" show watches from the
second collection etc. A great read!
- No more Swatch Finder? www.swatch.com

but probably not for long...
