Swatch We're All Gonna Die SUOZ115 New Gent Markus Linnenbrink Art Special Gold Case Painted Drip Dial Multicolor Strap 40mm Working

A 2011 Swatch from one of the brand's lesser-known art collaborations: the Markus Linnenbrink special. The We're All Gonna Die (SUOZ115) reproduces a section of the German-born painter's signature poured-paint work across the dial, frames it in a matte gold plastic case, and continues the painting down the strap.

The dial is the heart of the piece. A 40mm reproduction of Linnenbrink's drip technique, with ribbons of red, yellow, magenta, cyan, and purple running against a dark background. Black baton hands sweep across the painting. The "swatch swiss" wordmark prints small at the lower right. The matte gold case frames the dial like a gilt frame on a museum wall.

The strap continues the print in silicone, from lug to buckle in registered colors, with a matte gold Swatch-stamped buckle.

The watch runs well on a fresh battery and keeps time. The gold case shows visible wear, including surface scuffing and finish thinning. The dial print is fully intact. The strap shows wear: surface scuffs, and some lifting. Still attached and wearable.
