Swatch watches and movements have been made in Switzerland since 1983. This is literally its whole reason for being! When Japanese quartz movements started encroaching on Switzerland’s watchmaking dominance, the Swiss created their own quartz ‘second watch’ concept… and Swatch was born.
Quartz is the mainstay of Swatch, but it does offer automatic watches too. Look out for the SISTEM51 watches in the Irony and Original watch collections. Made with only 51 parts, they have with a 90-hour power reserve and a mechanism fired by the movement of your wrist
Swatch says it depends on two factors: the battery's size and the watch's functionality. On average, a Swatch battery will last 2-3 years. Chronograph watches are likely to have a shorter battery life than the brand’s core creations.
Funnily enough, it’s not an abbreviation of ‘Swiss Watch’. Swatch is short for ‘second watch,’ and this goes back to when the brand was founded in the early 1980s. Swiss watchmaking heavyweights didn’t want to take the spotlight off their heritage automatic movements, but they equally didn’t want to miss out on the quartz revolution. They wanted customers to buy a Swiss-made ‘second watch’ for fashion and fun. Let’s just say Swatch rolled off the tongue a little easier than ‘second watch’!
