Inventors of the world's most popular plastic watch, Swatch continues to produce bold yet affordable watches that double up as colourful fashion statements. Originally coming to fame in the 1980s, with the launch of one of the world's thinnest wristwatch with a limited number of components, Swatch is now a leading fashion watch brand and delivers limited edition originals alongside its most popular bestsellers. Part of Swatch Group, the world's leading producer and distributor of watches, Swatch watches put the fun back into timekeeping with their unique designs.

ABOUT SWATCH WATCHES

Swatch watches have captured the world's imagination from day one. Soon to become one of the world's most successful watches of all time, the first Swatch watch was a thin plastic watch with only 51 components - compared to the usual 91 parts or more - that lifted the Swiss watch industry out of one of its worst crises ever. The Swatch watch provided much-needed competition for Japanese designs and upturned the industry's fortunes in 1983, providing a watch for the masses that combined top quality with a highly affordable price. Since then, Swatch watches have become a colourful fashion statement, with a number of unique designs making the plastic strap watch a hit with trend-setters across the world. With models available for both men and women, a number of limited edition originals - such as 2008's popular OO7 Collection, still available at Watch Hut - have joined Swatch's Core Collection of bestsellers to provide a range of Swatch watches for every sensibility. Despite its streamlined appearance and fondness for fun colours, Swatch has proved its watches' outstanding technical capabilities during its role as the official timekeeper in several Olympic Games and ski and snowboard World Cup competitions. For many years, new technological developments have seen Swatch watches evolve from the standard plastic Swatch watch - from Irony (the metal Swatch) to the Swatch SKIN Chrono (the world's thinnest chronograph) to Swatch Snowpass (a watch with a built-in access control function which can be used as a ski pass at many ski resorts throughout the world), and Swatch Beat (featuring the revolutionary Internet Time). Swatch watches continue to progress to new and exciting places, with seasonal ranges ensuring Swatch watches set the tone for the coming months. This season is no exception, with the funky and far-out stylings of the Jungle Hearts, Cuddle Crafts, Edge of Adventure, Master Class and Street Painters bringing the wearer closer to cool.
