Swatch has launched a Swatch Special GZ227 – Traces Of An Architect with a big party at the National Museum in Brasilia. This took place at the end of April. The watch was introduced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Brasilia, the capitol of Brazil. The watch is limited to 1500 pcs and will be sold world wide. The watch box is covered in a special paper sleeve.
Swatch Retrograde… What are they?
The Swatch Irony Chrono Retrograde models present a mix of traditional and innovative chronograph features. Two pushers and the crown are placed on the right side of the case, which is normal. The dials seem to be traditional. They offer hour and minute hands, three subdials in the usual positions and a central second’s hand. But at closer look you will see the big difference on the Swatch Retrograde.
The subdial positioned at the top right is where the novelty can be found. The Arabic numerals begin at zero and run to 5 minutes. The hand sweeps counterclockwise, and when it reaches the 4 minute and 59 second mark, it takes 1 second to jump back to zero – thus the “retrograde” of the name.
Similarly, the counter positioned at the top left has a hand running from Arabic numeral 0 to 60 minutes; the hand jumps back to 0 when it reaches the 59-minute and 59 seconds mark (“retrograde” once again).
A third chrono counter is the big second hand on the watch. Here again, the hand sweeps the bottom part of the dial, as it counts from 0 to 30 seconds and, on reaching the 29-second mark, takes 1 second to jump back to zero (“retrograde” movement number 3).
The stainless steel case is sealed with a mineral crystal, which is a novelty for Swatch. SWatch Retrograde is a trendy watch but with a technical excellence.

But tha factory in Switzerland has been doing overtime and now we’re proud to offer them through our web site. | ||||||
