Today we get a first preview of an upcoming collaboration between French artist Fafi and Swiss watch brand Swatch. The black colorway, seen here above, features one of her signature characters. The watch looks great and we cannot wait to see the full collection.

Swiss fashion watch maker Swatch kicks off the new year with a pair of sports-inspired Gent Originals, the Olympic Games Collection – London 2012. Created with one eye on fashion and the other on the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games, these merge pro-sport aesthetics and classic London design. The designers have given a nod both to British fashion’s mod heritage and the London 2012 Olympic Games logo by means of a two-toned palette.

Check out both watches in detail after the jump.

Swatch celebrates the Chinese Year of the Dragon with a limited Original Gent watch. The piece features an intricate Chinese dragon, drawn in blue on the white silicone strap, taking inspiration from classic blue and white porcelain artwork. Now available through Swatch.

The New Gent watch by Swatch has certainly gained a lot of popularity these last 2 seasons. In 2012 the watch returns in the ‘New Gent Lacquered’ series. A series of colors of the watch comes as part of the series, with the special feature being the open multicolor movement. Each layer of the movement received a different color treatment. Look out for a release in early 2012.

Swatch presents the new Hiding Ways New Gents Watch Collection for Holiday 2011. Their classic mid size model comes in 4 camouflage colorways, with the pattern being featured on both the dial and the straps. Look out for these in stores in the coming weeks.

A while ago we presented the impressive collaboration between Kidrobot and Swatch on an artist driven collection of overall 8 watches and 8 matching Dunny toys. Today we present a cool stop motion video that was produced by Happycentro for Swatch on the project.

“Swatch has teamed up with Kidrobot, an art-driven toy and lifestyle brand, to create Kidrobot for Swatch, a collection of eight Gents, each accompanied by a complimentary Dunny. Dunny is Kidrobot’s iconic and highly collectible bunny-like vinyl toy, a customizable canvas for artists from widely varying backgrounds. Gary Baseman, Jeremyville, Frank Kozik, Joe Ledbetter, MAD, Tara McPherson, SSUR, and Tilt are the eight extraordinary artists who have contributed to the new collection, each with a characteristic design for a Gent and its accompanying 3-inch (7.6 cm) Dunny.

We made a short stopmotion animation for each design experience inspired by the world of each artist.”

Enjoy!

After a successful first line, Jeremy Scott continues to work with Swiss watch maker Swatch and presents his new Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. The new line includes 4 watches – several wrist watches with safari and other colorful designs, as well as a heart shaped pocket watch. As with all Scott designs, the watch designs are colorful and loud. Yet we have to admit, that some of these are pretty nice. Our favorites include the X-Ray Vision and the leopard pattern watches. We especially like that Swatch allows Scott complete creative freedom and that the watches go beyond simply adding some color to existing models. Look out for a release in the near future.

The full collection is previewed after the jump.

Swatch presents two new interesting collaborations on their most iconic plastic watch. They worked with famed fashion photographer Rankin and with Japanese artist Hiroyuki Matsuura.

The British photographer chose an iris photo for his watch, which comes in three colorways. Matsuura only turned artist in 2005, after having worked as a graphic designer before. Today he works with several mediums, and chose to use two of his manga characters on the watches. All 5 watches are now available from colette (storeguide).
