Jean-Michel Folon 1987

His drawings provoke but never harm. His sense of humour is often wicked but never evil. To Jean-Michel Folon, born in Brussels in 1934, the world is an absurd but interesting place. He feels at home in big cities and could never live in the country. He has illustrated books, held exhibitions in the USA, Japan and Europe and is a commited member of Amnesty International. Folon wanted to design three special watches for Swatch in 1987, which were produced in only 5.000 units each.

Christian Lacroix 1994
"To me, Time and Space are great Luxuries, so I don't really like to quantify them.
That is why that I wanted to make of this watch something more than a mere counting machine. I wanted to make a jewel, and object of seduction, playing with the idea of hands - or lack there of - contained within a kind of equally whimsical evening bag." - Christian Lacroix  ハWhen Christian Lacroix think of Christmas...
"Don't waste time being obsessed by it" is the motto of the graduate in art history from Provence, who headed for Paris intending to work in a museum but somewhere along the line became one of France's greatest couturiers. Lacroix wallows in luxurious fabrics, colors and ornamentation. In his eyes, calling something "opulent" is not an insult - it automatically makes it even more attractive and desirable. Lashings of gold, crosses and hearts are his trademark. One of the few times he held back was when he designed a watch for Swatch. Xmas by Xian Lax- The Christmas Special by Christian Lacroix - has no hands. Just single dot moving steadily round the dial to complete one revolution every 12 hours. There can be no doubt it's the best way of poking fun at people who take time too seriously. And any woman with splash of style and an Xmas by Xian Lax in the evening bag that comes with it is demonstrating unmistakably that time is the least of her concerns. (text from Swatch)



Hideki Nakazawa 1997
Hideki Nakazawa is one of the most productive artists of our time. While most computer artists are using the state of the art method and maximum colors in creating the computer arts; Nakazawa, on the other hand, is using minimal computer technology and color in getting his message across. This one of the reasons that make his works was appraised by his fans, the minimalist but very influential work of art.
