Swatch watches

1983

Swatch watches were the raddest fashion accessory in the 1980s. Some even wore multiple Swatches at the same time. The watch designs often riffed off of 1980s Memphis design, with their bold, bright colors and loud patterns. Wearers often swapped out bands for wild color combinations and added flair with snap-on watch guards that screamed for your attention.
