Vive La Paix GK206 by Corneille for Swatch is an artist-designed Gent wristwatch released in 1995 as part of the Swatch Artist Special series.

The watch has a 34 mm / 1.34 in plastic case with a thickness of approximately 8.75–9 mm / 0.34–0.35 in. It is powered by a Swiss quartz movement and is rated to 3 bar / 30 m water resistance.

Corneille’s design combines blue and transparent elements with stylized imagery of a bird and sun, motifs that recur throughout his paintings, prints, and graphic work. The watch transforms these familiar elements into a compact wearable composition extending across the dial and strap.

Corneille, born Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo, was a Dutch artist and co-founder of the CoBrA movement. His work became known for its bright colors, expressive linework, birds, women, suns, and dreamlike imagery.

Vive La Paix reflects Swatch’s longstanding interest in treating the wristwatch as a small canvas for contemporary artists, combining functional design with recognizable fine-art imagery.

A strong vintage collectible for admirers of Corneille, CoBrA, Swatch Artist Specials, 1990s design, artist watches, wearable art, and vintage Swatch collecting.
