Referred to as “the king of fruits”, Singapore’s national fruit is sometimes more valuable than solid gold!

6) Swatch x You National Day Watch
For a National Day timepiece that’s a little out of the box, Swatch invites you to customise your very own watch, based on a special illustrated Swatch x You canvas designed by local artist Kai Lee. Her art is an explosion of colour — red, white, and beyond — with joyful characters and familiar local sights that tap into our love for Singapore.
The digital Swatch x You concept allows you to create a customised timepiece of your choosing — over at the Swatch website, you get to select a section of the canvas you’d like to feature on the watch, by moving left, right, up, down, or even rotating the canvas so your favourite elements fall within the watch template. After that, you’re also free to customise other watch elements, including the colour of the movement, choice of mechanism and indexes, or add a personal message on the back of the dial.
The “I Love Singapore” Swatch x You canvas will only be available for a limited time though, from now till 23 August on swatch.com.
