Swatch Maxi GK102 Nautilus

Some people comment to me that my watch collection is too big, but today's "watch" is bigger than a lot of the others put together.

The watch is a size suitable for a giant and would fit a wrist up to 2 meters in circumference.

It was made by the Swiss brand Swatch, and called the Maxi Swatch. The Maxi Swatch watches first came out in 1985 for advertising and are 10x the size of a normal Swatch (-2.1m or 6.9ft). Of course they weren't designed to fit on your wrist, but instead be hung on the wall (although they almost go from floor to ceiling).

This model is one of 12 designs that came out in 1987 (only the second year they were released) as part of the Fall/Winter collection. It is called the Nautilus and has a model number of GK 102 (or MGK102). It has a 3-hand dial, featuring a nautical theme (compass design and sea green and blue colours).
