Swatch, launched in 1983 by Nicolas G. Hayek, is a leading Swiss watch maker and one of the world's most popular brands. A Swatch is more than a timepiece: it's a 'talking piece', a state of mind and a medium for self-expression. For over three decades, Swatch has been revolutionizing watchmaking with fashionable designs, groundbreaking innovations and a provocative spirit that resonates with the artist in all of us. Today Swatch continues to innovate and surprise with new models, collections and special editions. The brand maintains a strong presence in the world of sports with its commitment to snowboarding, freeskiing, surfing, beachvolleyball and mountainbike slopestyle.
