It'S just like spring jumping onto your wrist - the Swatch SKIN collection offers the pleasure of adorning your wrist in style and fashion by presenting an exciting mix of fabrics, decorations, silver and metals, textures, leather and colour.
At only 3.9 millimetres thick, it also fits like a second skin. The collection for this spring and summer features: SKIN Chrono (the world's thinnest chronometer), and SKIN.beat (a digital watch including Internet Time).
Sundari is a skin classic product with an embroidered fabric strap in many colours. Its paisley motif, clear plastic case and buckle represents a kind of freshness. Others in this line include Silver Scales, Loving chain or Bludablu.
Skin.beat sounds interesting as its time is figured differently from standard watches.
It divides up the day into 1,000 beats so one swatch beat is equivalent to 1 minute and 16.4 seconds. So people don't think about time zones, because Internet time is the same around the world. A circular window in the watch reveals both "beat time" and standard time.
Space cherry is a skin.beat with transparent silicon strap and injected red centre which looks as lovely as a candy.
