Swatch X LOUVRE ABU DHABI
With the Louvre Abu Dhabi, we’ve created a watch that unites two worlds: the Japanese artwork by Hokusai and the astrolabe by Muhammad ibn Ahmad Al-Battûtî. Available April 13: subscribe for updates below!


THE GREAT WAVE OFF KANAGAWA BY KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI & THE ASTROLABE
The power of nature envelops this watch in Prussian blue tones from Hokusai’s masterpiece. The underside depicts the astrolabe’s flat projection of a night sky. Two masterpieces in one Swatch.
