Swatch is launching on October 15th the new Swatch Chrono Automatic Collection. The Swatch Chrono Automatic Collection comprises five models offering rugged design and precision timing. Swatch has wrapped the Swatch look and feel around a new self-winding movement bringing chrono automatic performance to Swatch customers. Swatch uses an ETA Caliber C01.211, a fifteen-jewel, 3Hz movement with a 46 hour power reserve - not too shabby.The movement of the new Chrono Automatic is Swiss made and the new Swatch Chronos also show the date and are water-resistant to 30m.The Swatch Chrono Automatic Blunge (SVGK400G) you see in the photo has a price of $380. Models with a plastic strap sell for $370.This is of course an aggressive pricing for an automatic chronograph watch. The 5 available Swatch Chrono Automatic watches are: Simply Pure (SVGK402), Sign In The Sky (SVGK403), Blunge (SVGK400G), Silver Class (SVGK401G) and Right Track (SVGB400).See the Swatch site or shop for Swatch watches on Amazon.com.

Swatch watches have been hailed for their innovative designs by author Nicholas Foulkes.Writing in the Telegraph, Mr Foulkes noted that the timepieces were designed to be disposable yet high quality at the same time.He said that while this was "apparently oxymoronic", Swatch watches soon caught on and people would even be seen wearing two at the same time."The Swatch was perfect for anyone who wanted to play the inverse snobbery game," Mr Foulkes observed.This, he continued, was part of the genius behind the design of the timepieces.Mr Foulkes added that if something looks as good today as it did almost 30 years ago, it is reasonable to call it a design classic.He said Swatch watches, which were first rolled out in 1983, fit this requirement and remain a highly "enduring" piece of design work.The timepieces have also recently been hailed by author Jurg Wegelin, who said they have become a worldwide phenomenon since their introduction.
