• Swatch Watch

  Swatch, a combination of the words "second" and "watch," popularized the idea of the watch as fashion accessory, and as a somewhat disposable object. Though as a brand it peaked in popularity in the 1980s, Swatch continues to sell a wide variety watches including sports watch for diving, skiing, and data receiving styles.
