From the very secret and private safe of Nicholas G. Hayek, Mr. SWATCH himself, and never before seen "in public," two extremely precious prototypes of the most successful plastic watch in the world… made of pure gold and platinum!
In order to test the concept of engineering and construction and to
develop the best possible technical solution, the beginning of Swatch took
place at a watchmaker's table. Therefore, these two perfectly working masterpieces
of contemporary watchmaking represent the ideal bridge between "the old
and the new" way of looking at Switzerland's most renowned industry. They
mark the immaterial point separating "time before Swatch" from "time after
Swatch."
