TIME 4 GK271 is a 1998 Swatch Gent Artist Special designed by artist Laura Grisi. The watch features a transparent 34 mm / 1.34 in plastic case, a silver mirror-effect dial with reversed numerals, and a black-and-white strap decorated with small blue clocks showing different times. The concept explores time as an infinite reflection, with the multiple clocks representing past, present, and future.

Edition: Swatch Artist Special / limited production

TIME 4 GK271 is an artist-designed Swatch created by Laura Grisi and released as part of the Swatch Gent Artist Special collection in 1998.

The watch uses Swatch’s classic Gent format with a transparent plastic case measuring approximately 34 mm / 1.34 in in diameter. It is powered by a Swiss quartz movement and was originally rated to 3 bar / 30 m water resistance.

The most distinctive feature is the silver mirror-effect dial. The numerals from 12 through 6 are repeated in reverse on the opposite side of the dial, creating a visual reflection that directly supports Grisi’s concept for the piece. Specialist Swatch documentation quotes the artist describing time as an “infinite reflection” when considered alongside infinite space.

Across both the dial and the black-and-white plastic strap are a series of small blue clock faces, each displaying a different time. These miniature clocks are intended to symbolize different temporal states—past, present, and future—turning the watch into a conceptual artwork about the perception of time rather than simply a functional object.
