Swatch James Bond Collection (1)
8th August 2007
In 2002, Swatch unveiled a series of James
Bond theme watches. The famous watch designer
was commissioned
to design 20 watches, one for each film, to celebrate 007's 40th
anniversary. Each watch came complete with the "007 40th anniversary" logo
on the box or a special sleeve, the "007" logo on the
strap loop, and the name and original release date of the movie
engraved on the strap. These
watches were limited in number and are now highly prized collectibles.
The watches were released
in four phases of five watches, with the first wave celebrating
Sean Connery's run from "Dr No" (1962) through to "You Only
Live Twice" (1967) on 20th March 2002. Each of the phase one
watches was
designed
by Swatch in 2001 and released as part of their 2002 spring/summer
collection.
