Previewed way back in June (TTFiles 15/06), Kidrobot’s highly anticipated collaboration with watch manufacturer Swatch has finally come to fruition. Featuring designs from 8 of the world’s most highly sought after illustrators, including Tru:Teknology Files favourites Frank Kozik, Joe Ledbetter and Gary Baseman, the watches (plus their Dunny counterparts) are available through Swatch at around £45 each. Originally only available in a limited edition collectors set, the individual designs have been launched worldwide over the past month through a total of 13 events in some of Swatch’s most prominent locations. The final show, hosted by Joe Ledbetter, is set to drop at Singapore’s Swatch Lee Garden Road shop on October 1st, featuring signings, exclusives, and some one-off sketches by the artist.
In celebration of their work, Kidrobot have created a collection of animated promos for the project; two lengthy adverts designed for t.v, plus eight mini-features showing off each of the artist’s designs. Check them out below-

For the real enthusiasts, Kidrobot have also released the Frank Kozik Tennis Pro set. Featuring a yellow version of the moustachioed 8″ Dunny first seen in the original collectors box, and a white variation of Kozik’s Ski Instructor watch design, the limited edition set is still available through Swatch at around £75 plus p&p.
