- When Swatch introduced a limited edition of watches styled
- like cucumbers, red chilis, and bacon with eggs, the first 5,250
- sent to the U.S. were gobbled up at once. While most plastic
- Swatches sell for around $45, these retail at eight trendy food
- emporiums from Newport, R.I., to Seattle for $100. But will these
- tasteful timepieces by Pop painter Alfred Hofkunst appreciate
- like the graffiti-inspired ones from Keith Haring, offered in
- 1986 for $50 and now fetching up to $2,500?
