Right from the start, Swatch has been connected with contemporary art. Swatch watches were inspired by popular culture, and the Swatch Art Specials have become a canvas for a whole host of world famous artists, musicians and fashion designers including the likes of Keith Haring, Yoko Ono, and Ian Davenport and they are produced as strictly limited editions.
