Individuality determines our lives in almost every area. Here you will see how four individuals have managed to bring together four completely different designs into a joint design for a Swatch watch. Experience how a penguin, an X-ray image, a Planetarian and a lady golfer have fallen into a bucket of paint and have emerged into a new, unique design.
In summer 2011, news spread like wildfire among the Swatch collectors' circle, that the famous "Blum Collection" would be auctioned in Hong Kong in November 2011. After Swatch The Club announced a trip to Hong Kong to witness the sale, it was clear to us that we wanted to be present and part of the event. The main lot (of the collection Blum) however, didn't quite attract us. Instead, one of the accompanying lots had aroused our attention: Lot 7 - My Swatch: a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a real Swatch watch in a limited edition of (only!) 100 pieces. The day we had all been waiting for had finally arrived: November, 24th 2011. That morning, we were invited to an exclusive preview of 291 out of a total of 4363 Swatch watches at the "Four Seasons" Hotel in Hong Kong...
After winning the auction, a few practical matters had to be arranged: How do we communicate with each other? When and where do we meet? How do we want to develop a common design? We agreed that we wanted to meet at least once at each co-designer's home. Countless emails were exchanged between ourselves and we met regularly (about ten times) until we finally completed our joint project successfully. Below we have listed the individual meetings to document the development from the beginning to the end.
The final result (the completed watch) fully meets our expectations and speaks for itself. Therefore, we display the following pictures without any further comment: OUR SWATCH QUATTRO (SUOZ194S)
