When it comes to watches and quirky-looking rabbits, it doesn't get any better than the Kidrobot for Swatch Collection.
The Kidrobot for Swatch Collection is probably one of the coolest collaborations to have happened in the fashion world. The combination of whimsical designer toys with a classic watch company just seems like the perfect fit. Both brands have asked eight different artists to come up with their own interpretation of Kidrobot's Dunny character for Swatch's Gent model. Each one come with a Dunny figure as well. The watches can be purchased separately or all eight as a numbered limited edition set. These will be extremely limited in numbers, so it'll be wise to try and pre-order or lineup before hand. The collection will be available for sale at Swatch stores and retailers worldwide on September 1st, 2011.
