Own a Piece of 90s Design History – The Swatch TwinPhone

The Swatch brand revolutionized watchmaking in the 1980s with bold, limited-edition designs that made every timepiece unique. Riding on that success, Swatch expanded into telephony, creating a range of stylish, innovative phones that have since become true collector’s items.

Our selection of original, fully-functional, unused Swatch telephones from the 1990s is a rare opportunity to own a piece of design history. One standout model, the Swatch TwinPhone, embodies the era’s fascination with technology, featuring a partially see-through casing that gives you a glimpse into its inner workings. This design wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was part of a bigger 90s trend that celebrated transparency, digital culture, and futuristic styling.

From Nintendo’s translucent Game Boy Colour to the iconic Apple iMac G3, the 90s embraced the idea that technology should be seen, not just used. The Swatch TwinPhone fits right into this playful, high-tech revolution, making it more than just a telephone—it’s a statement piece that captures the excitement of a digital age in full swing.

If you love retro tech, bold design, or just want a conversation-starting centrepiece, these original Swatch telephones are a must-have. Secure yours today and bring a touch of 90s nostalgia into your home!

The 'Twin' in Swatch TwinPhone referred to its unique feature: the base unit has an additional built-in earphone and microphone, allowing two people to speak to the caller simultaneously.

This was a fun and practical design choice, making it easy for friends or family members to join a conversation without passing the handset back and forth. It was very much in line with Swatch’s playful and innovative approach to product design—functional, but with a quirky twist that set it apart from standard telephones of the time.

Even the earliest of instruments come lovingly restored and all but the odd early collectors piece come with a 12 month guarantee in full working order. Virtually any phone can be made to work in any country and we will supply your phone with the correct plug for your telephone socket. Telephones have proven an excellent and functional investment over the years, and, for example, the last dial phones used in Britain (the 700 series) are now also beginning to appreciate rapidly. We currently have (diminishing) quantities of most of our original phones, so why not make an investment we are sure you are not going to regret.

Usually sent to UK mainland addresses on a next-day courrier service. Delivery overseas can take a few days longer. We generally dispatch sameday if you order before 12 noon. When you input your address details, you can also add special delivery instructions. In any case, we email you your tracking details, so you will know when delivery will be attempted.
