The Company
The story of Swatch is the story of a revolution. In 1983, the unexpected appearance of an affordable, Swiss made, plastic watch turned the watch world upside down. Suddenly, a watch was much more than a way to measure time. It was a new language, a way to speak from the heart without words.
Working for Swatch you will be part of a strong and expanding retail network and working for the world's largest watchmaking group for one of the world's most popular brands.
