A Kid Robot and Swatch makes a lot of sense. All that brightly coloured rubbery/plastic-y aesthetic from both brands, together at last.
Each watch has been designed by an artist – the collection includes pieces by Gary Baseman, Jeremyville, Frank Kozik, Joe Ledbetter, MAD, Tara McPherson, SSUR, and Tilt – and comes with its own matching toy. (A three-inch Dunny, for those who are across their Kid Robot toys.) The designs are, as expected, super cartoonish, a little childish, and pretty cute. Baseman has gone for a semi-subtle black design, while Tilt's version is a rainbow vom.
There are only 300 sets of watches/toys available and will hit stores in August.
