Swatch is reunited with Jean-Charles de Castelbajac for Wings of Peace, a year-end watch unveiled at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. An angel adorns the strap and the dial, and coloured Arabic numerals read upside down: the collaboration extends a partnership begun in the 1990s.
Wings of Peace is a watch designed specially for Galeries Lafayette Haussmann, in Paris, where Swatch unveils it for the end-of-year festivities. The watchmaking brand is reunited there with fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, whose artistic universe is translated here into a colourful, festive creation full of fantasy.
The design rests on few elements. An angel adorns both the strap and the dial, accompanied by the message “Wings of Peace”. The coloured Arabic numerals are printed upside down, which adds a playful touch to reading the time.
The watch is part of a partnership between Swatch and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac begun in the 1990s. Space People, Enjoy It and the Passport 93 box set marked its stages. Wings of Peace is a new one, in the form of a special edition.
The schedule is precise. The watch is available exclusively at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann from 11 November to 7 December 2026, nearly four weeks, then online in France on Swatch’s website from 8 December, in time for year-end gifts.
