Swatch out!

Posted 19:59 by Thomas 'Megzy' Merrigan in

I hate to say I told you so, what am I saying? I love to say I told you so! About a year ago I became a big fan of swatch watches. My Mum and Dad had matching Jelly Fish Swatches when I was young and so I decided to pick one up for myself. I had a shop around and managed to buy one on Ebay at the time. The Jelly Fish is completely transparent and here is a pic for ya;

At the time I also picked up a Swatch for my GF that she still wears day to day now. So I have had my eye on watches of this style for a while now and in the last few weeks I have noticed a couple of brands putting out swatch style watches for this season and figured i would do a piece on them.

First up is the original Swatch brand them selves with this time piece I have flirted with since i bought my first Swatch. "AHHH!" no I'm ok...that's the name of the watch;

The comic book style really caught my eye and at £35 it is kind of a bargain wouldn't you say? Available now from Swatch.
The next Swatch is going for the same moolar and I think is a genius bit of design. The "Once Again, Again" Swatch is another plastic Swatch although it is masquerading as a much heavier duty cousin. With the offset image of another watch over the top this time piece is really every design geeks grail, out now at Swatch for again just £35;

Next I want to move away from Swatch to look at a couple of the other brands emulating their design. Here is a release that is due to drop tomorrow in the states. The Hundreds are releasing this interchangeable strap swatch style piece at their LA and SF stores. The pricing is unclear as I am typing, but expect to pay top dollar for one of these babies;

And last but by no means least is a brand that have caught my eye over the last couple of weeks and I am very much considering making a purchase from come student loan time Vannen. The boys have put together a stunning range of time pieces ranging from $65-$85 and to me look worth every cent here are just a couple of designs I am considering picking up;
