Look at the time
Your little ones can now take their favourite blue fish around with them everywhere. Flikflak’s Disney/Pixar Finding Dory watch ($63) makes telling the time as fun as swimming. If they prefer Disney Tsum Tsum instead, that model ($49) features cute stacks of popular characters like Olaf the snowman and Lotso the pink bear, as well as classic ones like Mickey and Minnie. Both models are shockand water-resistant up to three bar, and machine-washable. Find them at Swatch boutiques. Visit www.swatch.com/ms_sg.
