Aw.  Those were always my favorite, when I wore watches.  No metal anywhere to be allergic to!

While I've never owned a Swatch, I'm sure they've made more than a few watches I had growing up.  He's done a lot of great work for Swiss watchmaking!  RIP   :cheersmate:

Perhaps in tribute, we should all head out and pick up a new swiss chrono  :naughty:
