Swatch works in collaboration with Tate on the Gallery collection as a part of the 2024 Swatch Art Journey series. The capsule is comprised of vibrant looks that celebrate notable works and artists with a focus on bringing art into the works of day-to-day life. This allows art lovers to wear a piece of their favorite works on their wrists.
The capsule features the Scarley Sunset by JMW Turner with a colorful look. There are also the works of Marc Chagall with a bright blue strap with a playful dial. The Women and Bird in the Moonlight artwork by Joan Miró is detailed with vibrant tones and abstract shapes throughout both the dial and strap.
