The Dawn of Swatch

Timeless Strategies in Business, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship

About this book

The Dawn of Swatch tells the remarkable story of how a simple plastic watch didn't just save the Swiss watch industry—it reshaped how we think about branding, innovation, and disruption. In the 1980s, as Swiss watchmakers lost ground to Japanese quartz technology, Swatch broke every rule: bold, affordable, fashion-forward, and marketed with game-changing creativity.

Blending first-hand accounts with analysis, the authors reveal how strategic vision, unconventional thinking, and fearless marketing turned Swatch into a global success. More than a business case, this book offers timeless insights into brand strategy, innovation, product launches, entrepreneurship, and building iconic brands.

Ideal for business leaders, entrepreneurs, marketers, and anyone interested in strategy, it provides a blueprint for how bold decisions and visionary branding can redefine an industry.
