Mr. Swatch’s watches with hands

Larissa Anderson Jun 29, 2010

We talk on our show today about the death of Nicholas Hayek, “Mr. Swatch,” and how he brought back the popularity of analog watches when digital ones were taking over the wristwatch market.

When I saw the news, I couldn’t help but think of this Bill Murray clip I saw a while back on Ze Frank’s blog.
