IT’S PLAY TIME

Whether you're into art, travel or fashion, you'll find a watch that will delight you – or your loved one – at the Swiss funhouse that is Swatch this festive season.

THINK FUN

The name says it all – Think Fun is the range for those who subscribe to a free-spirited, more-is-more approach to accessorising. Think bold colours, geometric patterns and whimsical prints. For those who prefer things a little more understated though, there are also monochromatic models within the line, such as Pinksparkles, which features pretty Swarovski crystals around the dial.

DEEP WONDER

Glamazons – or anyone looking for more evening-appropriate options – will nd plenty of choices in the Deep Wonder collection. Expect rich and unexpected materials, such as straps made of Alcantara – a suede-like fabric often used to upholster seats in high-end cars. The Poudreuse is a sleek champagne-gold number that comes outtted with a stainless steel bracelet, while the crystal-embellished Irisette will be a hit with girlie types with its petal pink hue. Above, from left: Irisette watch, $99, Purepurple watch, $90, and Poudreuse watch, $140.

WORLDHOOD

These days, it’s easy to circumnavigate the world thanks to technology and social media – just scroll through your feed and chances are, someone you know will be abroad at some exotic locale. The Worldhood collection takes inspiration from various global neighbourhoods and cultures, resulting in a playful and highly varied collection. For instance, #Slowlife fans will love the trompe l’oeil “knitted” motif on the Amaglia, while arty types will like Fuzzy Logic, which features a splashed paint motif all across the dial and strap.
