DaimlerChrysler Promotional Watch, 1998-2007

Artifact Overview

Promotional giveaways can place advertising messages deeper into people's lives than billboards or magazine ads. The power of branding -- coupled with consumer brand loyalty -- has also led to the creation of promotional items designed for sale to the public. DaimlerChrysler AG celebrated its 1998 merger with this company giveaway made by Swatch.
