mamiam Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was hoping this would be news of his new design I was very curious about the new design, when it was told about here, but as we didn't hear anymore, I forgot it. Maybe I'm too pleased with what I've got already... Love, love me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathouzouf Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thank you Deb - nice to watch! And now I use this opportunity to tell you something I haven't told here on MFC earlier: I'm the happy and proud owner of the only Yellow Swatch Watch, delivered to Norway, on my request to a Swatch shop: No. 111 I use it very seldom, but always when I'm going to a MIKA gig, which isn't so often, unfortunately. Anyway, I wore it in Montreal, and also in London And that's where it happened: When we should enter Hyde Park 21st June, for the British Summer Time Festival, I wore a blouse which made my watch visible The lady, who looked at the tics, noticed it and said: "What a lovely watch!!" And I could proudly answer: "Yes, it is - and it's designed by MIKA!! She made really big eyes and answered: "OH REALLY - it's beautiful !!" Needless to say, it was the best start for my MIKA event - in front of Great Oak Stage... Love, love me Love your story 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiam Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Love your story Thank you Catherine! I was also very pleased that my husband was by my side when this happened, so he both saw and heard it himself - because he thinks that my MIKA designed Swatch looks a bit "childish".. Love, love me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumazzz Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 SWATCH sent out a link today to a short film they've made called "Swatch & Art: A Love Story." http://www.swatch.com/en/swatch-tv/4687170714001 Mika features at 3:43 -- there are a few clips from the video he did about his watch at the time. I was hoping that they might have something about his future project with Swatch, but nope. Anyhow, the film is still of interest -- mostly about the Biennale, a bit about the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai. YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I get comments about my watch (which I named Swika) when I wear it. That always gives me a chance to mention the designer, and get talking about him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thought I'd quote this here: MIKA official @mikasounds 5m5 minutes agoAt our desk with prototypes @swatch #Mumu #Milan https://www.instagram.com/p/BEL0EN9TiNb/ MIKA official @mikasounds 9m9 minutes agoShooting at my apartment in Milan for new Swatch Watch designed by my sister Yasmine and I.… https://www.instagram.com/p/BELz3MSziM7/ The watch looks pretty, from what I can see - I think I might even like it more than the last ones. But I hope they're not seriously calling it Mumu, because in German this is a word for something very very different... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Russian classic literature, this is the name of a famous little dog, who was drowned by his numb serf owner. Not the best name for the watch of a man who loves dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Italy Mumu is a rapper cow created for a TV commercial of a pudding for children Question for USA speakers: In American, does Mumu means a camisole of Hawaiian style or I dreamed about it ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumazzz Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 In Japan, "Mumu" means Hawaiian dresses like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the watch is just not meant for the german market. At least not under that name. In german it's another word for women's private parts. (tho it might sell well *because* of that, who knows... ) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Seems to be some chatter on Twitter about this watch being released 20th May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Léna Machu Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Seems to be some chatter on Twitter about this watch being released 20th May? yes, there is an article about that here in French http://plus.lapresse.ca/screens/1946101d-520c-4bb0-a501-bebb16a38a92|_0.html J’adore travailler avec les artistes. Ils posent des questions et nous font réfléchir de manière différente. Ils nous poussent à faire des choses qu’on n’avait jamais imaginées ! Il y a le chanteur Mika qui est proche de Swatch dans sa personnalité, car il est très coloré, humain et optimiste. Sa nouvelle montre [conçue avec sa sœur Yasmine] sera d’ailleurs lancée le 20 mai prochain. Swatch loves to work with artists. They ask questions and make them think a different way. They make them do things they wouldn't have imagined! There is the singer Mika, close to Swatch in his personality because he's colorful, human and optimistic. His new watch (created with his sister Yasmine) will be out the 20th of May. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh so that's why he made an event on that day for Lisbon Hopefully after his show, he does this event and perhaps at the Lisbon arena, he will put up posters informing people of the event so that most people can attend. I think Mika will be at the event to cut the ribbon as its the showcase of the watch, so I hope all can attend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
