Product Details

A whole Christmas special on your wrist. Tidings of Joy (SO28Z126) is the blue Holiday edition from the official Swatch x The Simpsons collection, and the design goes deeper than most character watches bother to. What is the scene on the dial? It is pulled from the very first Simpsons episode, the 1989 Christmas pageant. Snow falls across a deep blue dial while the characters play out the scene in white and cream. If you grew up with the show, it is an instant hit of nostalgia. What is the little star in the middle? That is Maggie, and here is the clever part: she is printed on the crystal itself, not the dial, so she sits above the scene and shifts as the light moves. The red hands glow in the dark, which is a fun detail on a Christmas piece. Is it authentic? Yes. This is a genuine Swatch from the licensed Simpsons collaboration, marked TM & © 20th Television and Matt Groening. It is a recent collection piece rather than a vintage one, in excellent like-new condition.
