Connect the dots

It was an explosion of dots.

Swatch queen Virgie Ramos launched the Swiss brand’s newest watches with a crazy polka dot party in Greenbelt 5 last Aug. 8.

Swatch’s Interactive Billboard, the only one of its kind in the world, had been transformed into a mind-blowing room of dots. Guests wore their spots with pride, ate dot-inspired food from Cibo and played with balloons, hula hoops and dominoes.

Three new collections were launched at the event—Swatch Stripes, Swatch Dots and Checks and Lifestyle Darling.

The Swatch queen’s picks? Black Suit Dots and Berry Dots. She said, “That’s why it’s the combination of the room. Funny because my 88-year-old mother-in-law likes the collection too because she can easily see the numbers! Shows you how right the late founder of Swatch was when he said Swatch is for everybody—from eight to 88!”

Even if you missed the party, you can still join the fun. Super and Swatch are giving away Swatch watches to 10 lucky winners. All you have to do is go to Swatch Greenbelt 5 and take photos of you and your friends playing with Swatch’s Interactive Billboard. Bring props, wear costumes, get creative. Choose your favorite photo and e-mail it to superswatchpromo@yahoo.com. The best 10 photos will be chosen and winners will each get a Berry Dots or a Black Suit Dots Swatch.
