Hey! Swatches are still a thing, and they released a collection called Swatch x Peanuts. One of those watches featrues Charlie Brown on a skateboard. That’s the good news. The bad news is, it looks like they cobbled it together from an illustration where Charlie Brown is running and a separate illustration of a skateboard.
– Thanks to Lin Holcomb for the tip.
I can’t remember how much swatches used to cost back in the 80’s but nowadays they cost $100, which seems pretty steep. I wonder if the watchbands still get slimy and discolored.

Hi there,
Swatch changed the watchband consist of some kind of rubber, not that plastic stuff like 15 years ago. I have already such a watch and the watch bands are comfortable and easy to clean. In

sKaTE & aNnOY, I have to confess: Being one not to splurge on expensive, new fashion items, I DID splurge on the Charlie Brown Swatch! Yes, I first saw it here on your site, and I hope they send you one for promoting, or bringing to light, this cool Swatch. (Even though I’m old, and STILL skate, this is my first – yes, first! – Swatch and it looks FAB on me! (I’d post a pic of me grinding in the bowl, but there’s not a way to upload a pic, to impress the masses. Oh well, it’s your loss, sKaTErS!)
