Nicolas G. Hayek, Chairman and Delegate of the Board of Directors of The Swatch Group Ltd. unexpectedly passed away during work today at his beloved Swatch Group.

SWITZERLAND/

Squiggly is sad to hear this.
We offer our condolences to his family and all the people that work at Swatchgroup and have been inspired by his work and vision.

Source: http://www.swatchgroup.com/en/services/archive/2010/nicolas_g_hayek_1928_2010

Michael from www.always-surprising.com wrote the following on the Swatch Clopedia Forum:

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):

http://www.always-surprising.com/20100628.htm

With the text we will post your first name and country, so please send this also. Please mail it to info(at)always-surprising.com

With kindest regards
Michael & Anja
