I grew up in the 90's and if you did too, you know all about the Swatch. I had long forgotten about these colorful, trendy, patterned accessories until I worked for a marketing company that worked with the beloved watch brand. It was like childhood fun all over again going through the pages of faces, straps and colors. I quickly realized that the mixing, matching and self fashion design wasn't the big selling point anymore. It looked like these new swatches came as a whole unit, where I recall a watch face that came with 10 different wrist straps that you could interchange in order to match your outfit or your converse. I only have to laugh when I see that sporty, colorful watches are back in the magazines and think man if I only still had my swatch...and actually quite a few other things I had as a teenager. Oh the irony.
