This feature of the SwissSwatch watch is from 1994, and it is called Le Poème. The Swatch features Gustave Dorés’s colorized illustrations of the Inferno and Paradiso on the band, along with a depiction of Dante’s profile on its crystal. Also, this portrait is surrounded by the words “Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita.”    — Dante Swatch, SwissWatch, 1994.
