Last update July 22nd 2000 On Friday 29th 2000 Swatch opened a brand new store in Paris to the very famous Place Vendome (in front of the very exclusive Ritz Hotel).This store is not a normal store since it doesn't have for sale the current Swatch collection but a very exclusive collection of watches released for the store only. We all know that Place Vendome is a very exclusive place in Paris with most of the best expensive stores around (Rolex) and this Swatch store is following this line.Swatch started producing a very limited (500 to 2000) edition of watches on sale in the store only (it's impossible to find them in any other place or ordering them by phone).Those watches are usually different variations of watches we had in the past collections.There are no catalogues of the collection nobody knows when a new watch from the store is coming out.Rumours say that every watch that will be sold out will be replaced with a brand new one.......but according with the owner nobody knows yet what's going to be.Very interesting are the 3 jelly watches with the same style of the Original Jelly Fish but in 3 different colours and skin with different feathers or different colours of the same Irony Chrono.For the opening they produced a very limited to 52 pieces crocodile sets with 7 different colours of the Irony Chrono.The day before the opening a very limited set of the Napoleon has been produced.This set is very difficult to get and the price was officially of 7000FF.I'll try to make a complete list of all of the watches released from the Swatch Vendome store.The last advice is.....go there...it definitely worths the trip.But for now enjoy the pics.
THE CROCODILE SET LIMITED TO 52 THE VENDOME COLLECTION
