Original CD featuring “11PM” by Paulo Mendonça included

Paulo Mendonça

is a Portuguese musician/artist associated with the 11PM project connected to Swatch’s Musicall series.
The SLZ103 “11PM” special edition includes a CD with Mendonça’s title track 11PM, making the watch both a timepiece and a music-themed collectible.

The packaging bears the text “Try to make a better world — Music by Paulo Mendonça”, reflecting the era’s creative branding strategy for special editions.

Swatch’s MusiCall line is a quirky 90s sub-series where some models had musical or sound-related features — including alarm melodies and collaborations with artists.

“Swatch historically collaborated with musicians and cultural figures for limited editions — from Brian Eno to Jean-Michel Jarre — and the Musicall series fits within this broader creative strategy to fuse sound, design, and collectible appeal. “- bonhams
