Brand History
Founded in the early 80's, the Swatch brand was set up to re-capture the entry-level market share that had been lost by Swiss watchemakers during the quartz crisis. They were looking to retake the market, back from the Japanese companies who had prospered throguhout the 60's and 70's. Following the sucess of this market strategy, the brand was then taken over by SMH, which we know today as the Swatch Group.
