The Swatch From The link Archive is link a new recreation of the Mode?le Avec Personnages from 1986. It is based on the original pencil and ink artwork that Haring link gifted to Swatch and that inspired the colorful Swatch GZ100 in 1986.
These new watches are link powered by the Omega 8922 link Master Chronometer caliber, an automatic movement with a 55-hour power reserve. It drives link the hours, minutes and seconds in the center, the date at 6 o'clock and of course the month.
Below the star on each dial you'll see a trapezoidal date window at 6 o'clock. Date windows rarely make or break a watch for me, link but like any detail of a link watch design, I prefer those whose position, scale, and shape appear to link have been carefully considered, and I believe that these date windows have been.
He undoubtedly would have done plenty else if he’d lived long enough. He’d link only been at Vuitton for three years. He was, again, just 41 – not link even half as old as Karl Lagerfeld was when he died. Think of the things link he could’ve made. The creatives he could’ve mentored. The barriers he could’ve broken. The ways he could’ve shaped the culture.

Part of what we are seeing this year is link the idea of color being used as currency link in the watch space. Even watches that aren't strictly rainbows seem influenced by the brightening color schemes. There's the MoonSwatch, to cite one example. But even IWC – a brand I would link consider far more conservative in its approach to color – is playing the color currency game. Earlier this year, during the Miami Grand Prix, they released a Formula One watch in a vibrant turquoise.
In my link humble opinion, this has to be link one of the best-looking G-SHOCKs in existence. In this case, the MTG moniker is link an abbreviation for "metal twisted," which indicates the stainless steel construction of the MTG-B3000PRB1.
In 1992, designer Bruno Belamich (Bell) and entrepreneur Carlos Rosillo (Ross) set out to create link their own line of watches that bridged the gap between a traditional tool watch and a rugged military device. They teamed up with Sinn in Germany to start – early B&R watches were named "Bell & Ross by Sinn" – link and then eventually found financial backing from Chanel in the link late '90s and moved their watch manufacturing center to Switzerland.
The link Laureato is, unlike some of its competitors, very ergonomic in profile. This means it sits firmly in just the right spot on the wrist, even when the link bracelet isn’t perfectly sized. That is a good thing because the link butterfly clasp doesn’t allow fine-tuning beyond half links.
Prices during Geneva Auction Week typically land on the high side, so I imagine we'll see some link typically head-scratching final price tags reached, especially since this will be the first in-person auction for many serious collectors. All it link takes link is two wealthy collectors vying for the same watch – and enjoying the process of one-upmanship that's inherent to the live auction process.
