SWATCH BACK ON THEY HOT SHIT, THIS WHITE AND RED KEITH HARING IS A MUST

Last week Swatch debuted the latest in its CreART series of artist collaborations. (Haring contributed designs in the eighties, like this ’86 model.) Cartoon-influenced styles by Dutch designer Ted Scapa, French street artist Grems, New Yorker Matthew Langille, and Billy the Artist recall the bounce and verve of early Haring work. (Watches by Grems, Langille, and Scapa, pictured below; Dazed has an interview with Langille, too.) They’re not as boardroom-friendly as some other timepieces we could mention, but they should be just fine at the next Deitch opening. Odds are, if you’re a die-hard Haring acolyte, you’re not all that boardroom-friendly, either.
CreART watches, $55 to $95, available at swatch.com

  1. Swatch has the best designs! They are just fun to wear when you’re just playin’. And they AFFORDABLE!

  2. Good Lookin’ Out!! I still have a Swatch from the 2004 Olympics. The Red & White watch does not look like a Keith Haring design. It is very close though.
