Express your love for mom with these fiery Swatches

Oftentimes, our relationships with our mothers are complicated. If it isn’t a misstep in communication, it’s the inevitable clashing that happens when children naturally grow up and into their own persons.

Growing up, my mom was always working — so although she was hardly in the house, watching her slip into her kitten-heel pumps, make time to curl her lashes, and splash on a decent shade of lipstick, has always defined for me what a “power mom” should be.

She always said, make sure you work for your own money, (for shopping, I assumed). So I try. With that, there is all the more reason to cherish the small moments we do get together: whether it’s bonding over how to fertilize new houseplants; or classy ways on how to deal with pesky neighbors — point is, now that we’re both older, the one thing mom probably wants more in her life is a little bit more of your time.

If you’re non-confrontational and uncomfortable with expressing your gratitude to mom for Mother’s Day, don’t sweat it (although with this heat, it’s kind of hard not to…), we spotted these timepieces that can do the expressing for you. Gift your mom with something that reminds her of what you owe each other: time.

Dear Mom:

Your love is sweet like candy

Let mom know that you absolutely love her: the Intensamente piece is bold in expressing its a-m-o-r — I mean, it’s literally spelled out in the strap of this classic Swatch. She’ll definitely feel the amor in this timepiece, with a red heart at 12 o´clock to remind mom that this is all you feel for her. Blending colors like salmon, orange, and berry is for the mom whose love for you is as sweet as her personality.

I owe you a coffee date

You’re a career woman, and you know you got it from your momma. Remind her that sometimes, you both need to take a break and catch-up, and there’s no better way to do it than over a good cup of coffee. Gift her the Coffee Blue piece, with a cup of joe on the 6 o’clock dial and coffee beans emblazoned all over its strap. It’s a reminder that even though your calendar is full, and time is gold—so is your relationship.

My love for you is on fire

If Mom’s got a feisty spirit, this is one way to tell her you love her…. you scream it! The Au Feu is a timepiece that literally yells: your love for her is on fire. This piece has heart-shaped chilies all over its strap. From afar, you can already feel the emanating heat and passion from this Swatch. It’s an all-out way of professing your love for the mom whose chutzpah is so ferocious.
