Stars & Pins GI101 by Swatch is a vintage Gent wristwatch released in 1998 and distinguished by its highly decorative strap and playful late-1990s design.

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

The design is built around a blue denim-style textile and leather strap decorated with numerous colorful riveted pins featuring flower-power symbols. The red dial is centered by a large star motif, with silver hands and a bright orange seconds hand completing the composition.

Stars & Pins reflects Swatch’s characteristic approach to the wristwatch as both a functional object and a playful piece of wearable design. Its mix of denim texture, colorful pins, and retro 1970s-inspired graphics gives the model a particularly distinctive place among Swatch’s 1990s Gent watches.

A strong vintage collectible for admirers of Swatch, 1990s design, denim accessories, wearable art, flower-power imagery, and unusual vintage watches.
