Someone in a Topic which I can not find mentioned that SWATCH seem to be imitating what some Face Makers on Facer are doing . How True . Even down to the Deleted Expletive .
I have seen many more including some great Square ones . Any one else seen any Gems .

Yes, it was mentioned somewhere.
I think the reference to square ones is to Swatch bioceramic what if series:

Maybe more of a trendy thing. I do not really see copies… but then again designers get inspired by the competition, creators, …

Sometimes it’s just coincidence. Years ago one of my followers told me she synced my design because it looked just like her old Swatch. I had created my design 100% so I went crazy searching for Swatch history as I wondered if something had crept into my brain as I slept. (Not so strange because I did modeling for a famous watch company in my younger days.) Finally I found what I thought might be it, and eventually the follower provided a photo of her old watch. What she thought was a clone turned out to have somewhat similar colors: a white ghost, a black haunted house, purple background, and an orange pumpkin or two – all common Halloween colors. I was relieved to see that the images and layout were not the same.

Yes . Indeed . I had sctually never noticed that Swatch did Pictorial stuff.
It’s extremely rare to come up with something unique. Most advances are derivations of the past (eg, music, dance, movies, stories…). And often, and one will find this in patents, more than one person who will work alone, will actually file the same patent at almost the same time.
