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.

"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)
