On March 1, 1983 the first Swatch watch officially went for sale. The sales started with a launch in Zürich. After 25 years we're still enjoying the fun, elegance and design of our favorite Swatch watches.
Squiggly is walking on Memory Lane. A Street of Swatch watches that can be considered a Swatch Memory. Every week a member of the Swatch-Clopedia forum has the opportunity to take out five watches of this list, and enter 5 new ones.
Here is Andreas Wiethoff's choice of this weeks Memory Lane:

| The 1983 swatches are my favourite Swatches and the GB100 is one of the best 1983 swatches with its absolutely classic design. The best 1983 swatches in my opinion are GT701 (due to its rarity), GG701 (due to the funny dial) and GR102 (it doesn't get better than that |

One of the first swatch watches with a unique design and an absolute rarity because it was withdrawn from the market immediately in 1984 and replaced with the "12 Flags". |

Collecting prototypes and variants is one of the topics that I am most interested in. This prototype has a blue case instead of a green one, so the difference is obvious. Sometimes, the differences can be very subtle and not easy to notice. Compare eg. the "White Horses" Chrono: SCW100 vs. SCW100P1 |

Jelly Fish" is THE classical Swatch watch and the Chronometer version of this watch shows one of many strengths of Swatch watches: Precision. For each of the 2000 numbered Jelly Fish Chronometers pieces, it has been individually certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) that this watch works as precise as a Rolex, an Omega, ... |

The first Swatch watch designed by Swiss Artist Matthias Winkler. I love artist watches and Matthias' art fits Swatch watches quite well. In the years following the release, Matthias took part in a lot of Swatch activities and Swatch events such as painting individual maxi swatches or sleeves for Zeit2 or ... Check out my website (http://swatch.home.pages.de) to get an overview of Matthias activities in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, ... Later, he also designed two more very successful Swatch watches: Montreux Jazz 2001 (GK364) and Cupid's Bow (Valentine special 2002, GK371). |
