Description
Rare 1992 Swatch "Sandwatch" (Sanduhr) Artist Special by Klaus Zaugg – 2nd Luzern Swatch Auction Limited Edition (No. 389/999) with Original Box (CMNN2) Up for auction/sale is an exceptional piece of vintage Swatch history: the 1992 Klaus Zaugg "Sandwatch" (Sanduhr) Artist Special, individual piece number 389 of only 999 produced.
This iconic design piece was created exclusively for the historic 2nd Luzern Swatch Auction in 1992, which carried the environmental theme of "Earth." Rather than a standard wearable wristwatch, this experimental Swatch variant lacks a traditional middle section and is permanently factory-mounted to a heavy, clear acrylic plinth. It functions beautifully as a desktop sand glass / egg timer display.
Key Features & Rarity: • Limited Edition: Number 389 of only 999 pieces ever produced globally. • Artist Signed & Numbered: The unique number "389" and the signature of designer Klaus Zaugg are written directly on the clear acrylic base.
• Complete Boxed Set: Comes with the authentic original Swatch packaging, clearly marked with the official product code CMNN2 on the back of the box.
Condition Report: • The Watch & Acrylic Base: In excellent, clean vintage condition. The clear acrylic plinth and watch casing remain structurally perfect, bright, and beautiful. • Sand Functionality: The sand is completely dry and flows smoothly through the chamber exactly as intended. • The Box: The original CMNN2 outer box is included. It shows a bit of minor cosmetic wear from storage over the last 30+ years, but is otherwise solid and completely intact. Please see the photos for a close-up view of the box.
This is a museum-grade collector's piece that rarely surfaces on the open market as a complete, boxed set. Perfect for dedicated Swatch completionists or lovers of iconic 1990s Swiss pop-art design.
Shipping & Packaging: The item will be securely packed with professional-grade protective bubble wrap and shipped fully insured with a tracking number to ensure its safe arrival.
International buyers are very welcome.
Please review the high-resolution photos carefully to assess the exact cosmetic condition of the watch and the box. Feel free to reach out with any questions before bidding or making an offer!
