| swatch & art: info
and links about swatch-designers general
information on swatch-designs besides of that, there's one art special per year, designed by an already very well known artist. for instance keith haring, mimmo paladino, sam francis, mimmo rotella and nam june paik designed art specials. more information about art specials, you'll find on the official swatch site but in my opinion the most interesting art-projects are those swatches of which nobody tells you 'officially' whose design it was... but collectors do find out! swatch-designers, the watches and some links massimo giacon |
