After the Full Blooded gold was introduced in the year 2005, the Full Blooded series have been a big hit ever since. Swatch expanded the Full Blooded collection almost each year after the launch.
Now there are 3 new editions of the Swatch Full Blooded to add to this Family.
SVCK4047AG – Swatch Full Blooded Caramel
SVCK4048AG – Swatch Full Blooded Blueberry
SVCK4050AG – Swatch Full Blooded Raspberry

This week we received 2 new Swatch Chrono Automatic watches.
SVGB401 – Right Track Sunshine (left)
SVGB402 – Right Track Sunset (right)
These two new models in the Swatch Chrono Automatic Collection feature a moulded plastic case; disc-shaped windows in the crystal glass caseback present an unobstructed view of the fascinating mechanical movement within. The heart of the Swatch Chrono Automatic is the new self-winding ETA Calibre C01.211, a fifteen-jewel, 3Hz movement with a 46-hour power reserve. The thirty-minute and six-hour chrono counters are positioned at 12 and 6 o’clock, respectively, while the continuous seconds counter appears at 9 o’clock. A date aperture appears on all models at 3 o’clock.
We just received a 2010 Olympic Special that was given to the volunteers that helped during the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. The watch is a 2002 SUDK103 – Ocean Ripple with a special strap.

Dear Friends,
after the first shock and some sleep, it is still a shock, that Mr. Hayek died.
We get mails from friends with short statments. These mails inspired us to make a short tribute under the press release and the pictures we had posted on the website.
So please feel free to forward this mail to all the swatch fans you know and who like that idea feel free to send a short text. We will post the text on this site (under the pictures):

Manish Arora was born in Bombay (Mumbai), India. In his work he combines high-contrast colours and intriguing shapes with Bollywood sparkle, pop culture and sheer joie de vivre. For Swatch he has created the Manish Arora Collection, and to the Swatch & Art Collection he contributes an exuberant example of his irrepressible creative spirit.
Together with the new released Swatch Plastic Chrono’s, Swatch also introduced two new Swatch Bijoux Families. These two new Swatch Bijoux families are introduced as the Beach Collection.
Drops of colour splash on steel. This colourful, fresh and powerful family of bijoux plays with the contrast between polished stainless steel 316L surfaces and coloured synthetic resin inlays. The large oval pendant features an attractive array of purple, light pink, dark pink and salmon resin inlays resembling drops of colour splashing into a reflective pool. The bracelet presents oval discs inlaid with a similar range of coloured synthetic resin drops, and the earrings and ring present further variations on the theme with synthetic resin drops of different sizes and colours: purple, salmon, light pink and dark pink.
Once upon a time, children played with simple toys like coloured sticks or daisy chains. This enchanting family of bijoux brings back that innocent age with coloured blossoms and fine link chains, fashioned of stainless steel 316L and multicoloured synthetic resin inlays. The design plays with a simple geometry of sticks and circles: the necklace is formed of coloured blossoms of different sizes arranged in a triangular design; the bracelet mimics a daisy-chain, and blossoms dangle from the earrings. The ring presents a single flower, mounted on a simple band of steel.
Grab your swimsuits and sunglasses, it’s time to hit the beach!
