Important selection of watches from the famous Swiss brand, Swatch. Still presented in their original cases, these vintage watches are true collectors' items, within the reach of the greatest number, with estimates ranging from 30 to 300 euros. Endowed with a playful, colorful aesthetic, these iconic watches embody the symbolism of the joyful, uninhibited era that saw their birth, the 80s.

To go back in time, the concept of the Swatch quartz watch was born in the early 1980s and marketed in 1983. The principle behind this new type of plastic watch was to use the case back as the base plate, to simplify assembly and save on the parts needed to make it up.

The challenge was to combine Swiss watchmaking expertise with a desire to democratize this sector and make it accessible to all generations and all budgets. A winning bet, with more than hundreds of millions of watches sold since their creation.

Today, it's the historic models that are being offered at auction, and which will win the hearts, or at least the wrists, of the most nostalgic. There's no time to lose to be on time!
