Swatch launches new James Bond collection

Swatch is on a secret mission! Just in time for the release of the latest James Bond movie No Time To Die, the Swiss watchmaking brand has launched an exclusive collection of 007-inspired models.

Original movie posters and opening title sequences from Dr. No (1962), On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), Moonraker (1979), License To Kill (1989), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Casino Royale (2006) have provided the inspiration for a capsule collection of six designs to be released at the end of February.

The seventh watch in the Swatch X 007 collection has been designed by Swatch and No Time To Die Costume Designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb for Q, Swatch’s favorite character. Q creates all of Bond’s gadgets, from tracking devices to his secret weapons. His watch in No Time To Die is “a timeless mix of tradition with a penchant for futuristic innovation — just like the man himself.”

No Time To Die will be released on April 2 in the UK through Universal Pictures International and in the US on April 10, from MGM via their United Artists Releasing banner.
