Swatch

Sejarah Fesyen
Launched in 1983 by Nicolas Hayek, Swatch emerged as a strategic response to the quartz crisis that threatened the Swiss watch industry. By reducing component counts to fifty-one parts and utilizing automated assembly, the brand introduced affordable, high-quality timepieces. This shift transitioned watches from lifelong investments into seasonal fashion accessories. Swatch's success provided the capital necessary to preserve traditional Swiss mechanical watchmaking while establishing a permanent presence in global street fashion.
