Swatch is breaking it down once again, this time with the energetic "BREAK FREE" collection inspired by the legendary Keith Haring. Known for his bold, graffiti-inspired artwork and social activism, Haring became a cultural icon in the 1980s. His dynamic figures and vibrant style brought art into public spaces and tackled issues of love, unity, and justice. This vibrant trio of watches celebrates Haring’s iconic style and the 1984 Swatch World Breakdance Championship, an event that mashed up music, art, and sports into one unforgettable moment.
