What do you get for that one person who already has everything? That’s a question that all of us ponder over when Christmas draws near. It’s a common dilemma that has us racking our brains, and we usually settle for a fail-safe Christmas gift – usually something along the lines of hand soap, loose leaf tea, or shortbread biscuits. We’re not denying that they’re nice gifts, but they’re nice in a muted, placid way.
If you’re looking for something more colourful, more special, and certainly a whole lot more personalised – well, Swatch has a few festive collections to ease you into the spirit of gift-giving. You can choose from: the ISIDOR, the Swatch X You series, or the A Gala Night collection.
ISIDOR ($140)
As a limited edition piece for this year’s Christmas Collection, each ISIDOR comes numbered and shelled in a bright orange triangular cone. Yep, the cone represents the snowman’s carrot nose. It’s very festive with a flurry of snowflakes sprinkled all over the watchstrap.
If you take a closer look at the dial, you’ll be impressed by the amount of detail that went into its construction. The watch face has two green eyes and a colourful smile stretched across. And of course, there’s that bright orange carrot nose, doubling up as an hour hand. It measures 41mm across and will sit well on a guy’s wrist.
Swatch X You Holiday Series ($195)
For those who want to take it a notch further in personalised gifts, Swatch X You has a Holiday Set that lets you craft your ideal watch in five easy steps.
With strap options in three different festive colours (red, green, and sparkling white – what else?), you can customise your watch in whatever way you feel like. It also comes with two separate faces, in white and red. Kudos to it for coming pre-packed in a gift box – no need for bothersome boxing and wrapping.
If you’re looking for something for someone you know would prefer an already-customised watch, you can also visit Swatch’s online watch builder, with each watch priced at $90. We previously tried the Swatch X You Collection and enjoying piecing together our own watches.
A Gala Night Collection ($82 to $195)
The limited edition watches played it cheery this holiday season, but Swatch’s A Gala Night Collection is all about finding your confidence to shine. Their unique designs add a little gold or silver sparkle to your night – some also feature quirky statement pieces like Wildchic ($82) or Pastillo ($82).
When you’re hunting high and low for a suitable Christmas gift, Swatch’s designs are so versatile that there’s definitely a Swatch out there for each and every person. Whether it’s one of the 8,888 Isidor Swatch pieces, the personalised Swatch X You Holiday Series, or a statement watch from A Gala Night Collection, there’s a Swatch for everyone to fall in love with.
