Watch Paparazzi

Pilot Giovanna Amati spotted wearing Swatch

Swatch, the popular Swiss watchmaker, has recently relaunched one of its most iconic timepieces - the Grand Prix - as part of its NEON collection. But did you know that the Grand Prix has a unique connection to the world of Formula 1 racing?

Upon diving deep into the photo archives, it was discovered that Giovanna Amati, the last woman to participate in a Formula 1 World Championship race, wore a Swatch Grand Prix watch. This is a testament to the watch's durability and reliability in the high-pressure and fast-paced world of motorsports.

For those unfamiliar, Amati made her debut in the F1 world championship in 1992, driving for the Brabham team. Although she didn't have much success (failing to qualify for races), her story is an inspiration for women who aspire to break into what is often seen as a male-dominated sport.

Swatch's re-release of the Grand Prix watch in its NEON collection pays tribute to its timeless design and enduring legacy. The new collection features vibrant and eye-catching colors that are sure to appeal to both old and new fans alike.

So if you're looking for a reliable and stylish timepiece, consider the Swatch Grand Prix from the NEON collection. Not only does it have a rich history but it's also a reminder of the important role that women have played in the world of motorsports.
