Swatch - Matisse's Snail

Swatch Art Journey 2024

A miniature masterpiece for your wrist, this Swatch x Tate watch is inspired by The Snail, 1953 by Henri Matisse. The limited-edition watches were created as part of the “Swatch Art Journey”, a collaboration between Swatch and renowned museums, studios, and art institutions.

When ill health prevented Matisse from painting as he had done before, he began ‘painting with scissors’. By cutting painted paper into shapes, he created his famous 'cut out' artworks, strategically placing colours and shapes together for maximum effect.
