Swatch National Day 
2022
@swatch_ae
​Customize your Swatch and celebrate with us #uae50 @expo2020dubai
We reached out to the artist Ebtisam AbdulAziz to
design a very special canvas for this occasion.
“It's an honour to collaborate with Swatch for the
Golden Jubilee of UAE, says Ebtisam Abdulaziz,
who has created the geometrically intricate
SwatchxYOU canvas . “To me time and art are two
important forces, when they are joined the result
is very powerful. UAE has developed a lot in all
kinds of fields; it has progressed since I was a
child. Having seen all this I feel happy and thrilled
about the Expo 2020 Dubai now bringing the
world to the UAE.”
