Swatch Supports Human Rights

June 19 was the first session of the 14th annual Human Rights Council. While it's cool that I have the same birthday as the HRC, there's another cool thing that happened on June 19. Swiss company Swatch presented United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan with a special "Human Rights" watch.

Sporting a "UN (United Nations) Blue" color and a bold "19" on the watch face, the special edition watch is a symbol of Swatch's long-lasting relationship with the U.N. Swatch is big in the tech watch industry, and it's good to see such a company supporting a great cause like the UN's Human Rights Council.
