Swatches are perceived as a plastic watch with low price tags. This exceptional lot of the Diaphane One was late Nicholas Hayek’s groundbreaking testament to the world that Swatch is capable of producing a high quality mechanical watch. The specially playful designed carousel tourbillon movement is housed in the usual Swatch plastic case with a diamond added to the watch to enhance a sense of luxury to it. This unworn watch has been well-kept by the original owner who collects unique watches and has tremendous passion for horology.
