This is a vintage 1991 Swatch GZ118 HORIZON watch model, preserved in very good condition in its original box. It comes with its original papers as well. Here's the story behind its design, as told on the Swatch website:
"As fluid and evanescent as time itself, Silvie and Chérif Defraoui’s Horizon (GZ118) is a watery, flowing creation, printed with mysterious, inky gestalts that emerge from fields of cerulean and midnight blue. Like images assembling themselves from Rorschach blots, these beautiful forms are undetermined, undefined, and as open for interpretation as animal shapes discovered in the clouds. Depths and shallows, whole worlds and oceans of colour and time are contained in a work whose pen-and-ink elegance remains a mystery. A luminous, intellectual timepiece from the avant-garde of contemporary art."
Please read: This is a vintage Swatch that has been kept in its original box, for collecting purposes. For this reason, the strap might be fragile/susceptible to breakage (see photos). For those who want to make the most out of wearing the watch, we are shipping it with an extra strap (see photos) that is brand new and very comfortable on the wrist.
