For Auction: Swatch Musicall "ADAM" SLZ106 – Peter Gabriel Limited Edition, 1998 A rare collaboration between legendary musician Peter Gabriel and Swatch, released in 1998 as part of their prestigious Musicall series. The "ADAM" features an original alarm melody composed by Gabriel himself, making this one of the most sought-after music memorabilia timepieces from the 1990s. Model Details: Model: SLZ106 "ADAM" Designer/Composer: Peter Gabriel Year: 1998 Size: 33mm Gent Movement: Swiss quartz with musical alarm Water Resistance: 30 meters Case: Transparent plastic revealing mechanism Strap: Beige honeycomb-pattern resin Musical Innovation: The Musicall technology produces an original melody composed by Peter Gabriel rather than a standard alarm beep. The crown at 2 o'clock controls alarm settings, while the yellow hand indicates alarm time. This sophisticated mechanism made Musicall watches highly prized, especially those featuring melodies by renowned musicians. Design Features: The transparent case showcases the intricate quartz and alarm mechanism within, creating a technical display that appeals to both watch and music enthusiasts. The dial features a distinctive blood drop motif on the crystal, creating a gothic aesthetic that reflects Gabriel's artistic vision during his late 1990s period. The beige honeycomb-patterned strap provides unique texture and visual interest, distinguishing this from typical Swatch polymer bands. The design carries a morbid yet elegant style characteristic of Gabriel's experimental art-rock sensibilities. Peter Gabriel's Musical Legacy: As founding member and original frontman of Genesis, Peter Gabriel pioneered progressive rock before launching a groundbreaking solo career in the 1980s. His innovative use of world music, pioneering music videos, and establishment of WOMAD festival and Real World Records made him one of popular music's most influential artists. By 1998, Gabriel had released critically acclaimed albums including "So" featuring "Sledgehammer" and "In Your Eyes." The ADAM watch project coincided with Gabriel's work on his multimedia CD-ROM projects and preceded his "OVO" millennium show. His involvement with Swatch represented the intersection of music, technology, and accessible art that defined his career philosophy.
