Swatch Teams Up With Tattoo Artists

TATTOO TIME: Swatch has called on two new collaborators for a small collection drawing on the world of tattoo art. Swiss visual artist Emmanuelle Antille, who was inspired by the tattoo work of Filip Leu, and the French tattoo artist Tin-tin have designed five watches in the brand’s classic New Gent shape as part of the Swatch & Art collection, to launch on Sept. 3 at Swatch stores and at store.swatch.com. The pieces will come in specially packaged sleeves, adorned with printed extracts from each artist’s design.
