The latest set of cool Swatch & Art watches include creations by Cassette Playa and Manish Arora

With previous collaborators including Pedro Almodovar, the Swatch & Art collection has been such a smash hit that they couldn't resist expanding the range.

Five new styles hit the Web today - choose from quirky designs by artists and fashionistas including Indian designer Manish Arora and cool London club kid favourite Cassette Playa, aka Carrie Munden.

With special packaging that's almost as outre as the funky designs, the standout is Munden's 'Playa Look', which comes in a round 'eyeball' case and features a silver hologram of a single blue eye, complete with spidery veins.

We also love Arora's Bollywood-inspired 'Charmingly Beautiful', with a colourful printed textile strap featuring cartoon characters of a leading man and lady, talking to each other in speech bubbles.

Other designers include French film director Enki Bilal and Chilean sculptor Ivan Navarro. 

Prices range from £36-£89 - we call that a fashionable bargain...
