Welcome

Welcome to the Squiggly Newsletter of April 25, 2008.

A pretty normal week. Marcel and mark have had a work shop for Google marketing, so we can enhance our position in Google. Rob has visited a special fair for Internet shops to see what is new in Internet Land. Martina has started photographing the old Bijoux for the new pages and downstairs they are making a start with cleaning our cellar. In the meanwhile sales are good and new stuff is arriving. At last we have received a reasonable stock of the new best-seller YRG400 Serious Affair.

New Collection Update

Yes, He's finally here, the YRG400 - Serious Affair A fashionably “retro” view of timekeeping. The moulded black leather strap of this seriously elegant Irony Chrono Retrograde fits snugly into the claws of the case coated in pink gold. The unmarked bezel in the same colour frames a black flange with white minute indices on the upper half and a white 30-second chrono scale and numerals (0, 5... 30) on the lower. The structured black dial stands in striking contrast to the pink gold coloured applique hour markers at hours 10 through 2 and pink-golden indices along the semi-circular arc of the 30-second counter. The structured black 60- and 5-minute chrono arcs at hours 10 and 2 respectively show white Arabic numerals; the black continuous seconds counter at hour 6 features indices in the same pink gold colour. A white-on-black date window is positioned at hour 4. All hands, including squelette hour and minute hands and the chrono seconds hand, are the colour of pink gold. Click the images for more information and pictures.

And for the Lady's this week we received the YUS117 - Houla Black The elegance of black casts a compelling spell. This stylish Irony Lady Square features a simple black leather strap and stainless steel endpieces holding a square polished steel case. The surface of the case displays an elegant black enamel inlay framing a pearled white dial. Reflective metal applique Arabic numerals at hours 3, 6, 9 and 12 complement a large transparent white square crystal at nine o’clock. Reflective metal hour and minute hands mark the time.

Swatch memory lane

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.

Andreas Wiethoff has elected Rob to change this weeks Memory Lane.
Here is Rob's choice:

		LF101 - Spiga		LF100 - Blue Horizon
	1987: The only watch I’m missing in my collection is the GL400VAR Pago Pago with no date. This is truly one of the rarest pieces ever. We don’t have that piece in stock and neither the regular watch, but to honour the rarity of that watch, I have decided to remove the LF101 Spiga and replace it with the LF100 Blue Horizon, the ladies watch that belongs to the Pago Pago.

		GX703 - Courier		GZ111 - Deux Amoureux
	1988: I remove the GX703 Courier and replace it with the GZ111 Deux Amoureux. There’s a nice story to this watch. Dan Komar gave to me a very special strap. As you can see does the Adami watch have a strap spelling his name. The strap Dan gave me spelled: “I love Women”. This strap was an original prototype strap and I was very proud to have it. In all the years I lost the strap and I have never seen it since. So if anyone finds this strap let me know.

		GB141 - Gold Inlay		GZ122PACK - Hocus Pocus
	1991: The very first Swatch I bought was the GK139 Gulp!!!, but I have decided to add the very first special I bought. It was in a shop in Waalwijk. The dealer made me pay Euro 650.00 and we had to buy 50(!!) standard gents, which we could sell in Italy for the same value. But I did get my first special…. The GZ122 Hocus Pocus. So I remove the GB141 Gold Inlay and replace it with the GZ122PACK Hocus Pocus.

		GB144 - After Dark		GZ123PACK - Sam Francis
	1992: This is for me the most beautiful watch in the entire Swatch collection with the GB127 Medici’s as a tremendous runner up(already in the Memory Lane). The GZ123 is designed by a painter that knew how to splatter paint, just like the Blue Man Group. In 1992 I replace the Gb144 After Dark with the GZ123PACK Sam Francis.

		GB151 - Big Enuff		GB152 - Ellypting
	1993. In this year Swatch added something special to the collection, which they abandoned way too soon; the 24 hour movement. Nowadays these watches are still being sold, but at a higher price. Supply and demand create this. If Swatch would now and again add such a model to the collection they would sell well. Why do I add this watch to the Memory Lane? Because I was the first person to discover the variant with the orange second hand; the GB152V1. Made me feel proud then. I have decided to remove the GB151 and replace it with the GB152 Ellypting.
