BAPE & Swatch Are Releasing a Line of City-Inspired Watches
Pre-releasing this Saturday.
Known for its more than impressive lineup of collaborative efforts, BAPE is once again tapping Swatch for a capsule of city-inspired watches.
Having shared a few teasers via its social media pages, the collection looks to include the cities of London, Paris and Tokyo, amongst others. Besides only sharing vague outlines of the timepieces against its corresponding country, one watch was showcased featuring its straps dressed in BAPE’s signature 1ST CAMO and a map of the world imprinted on the face. The item has also been embellished with white co-branding on the bands such as “Swatch” and “1993” to represent BAPE’s inception year.
The BAPE x Swatch collection will be pre-released this Saturday, June 1 in Japan followed by a global release on Saturday, June 15. For the pre-launch in Japan, a lottery will be held at 9:30 a.m. this Saturday at BAPE’s Shibuya, Harajuku, Osaka, Kyoto and Aoyama outposts.
