A model dubbed the "Swatch Girl" showed up at the event in a dress made entirely out of watches (107 in all) from Swatch's pastel-colored New Gent and Lady collections. Attendees were offered free watches straight from the model's dress for sending tweets to @swatchus with the #swatchgirl hashtag.

The dress, which took two hours to build, was completely destructed by 1:30 a.m. -- a little less than an hour and a half after the event started. The model wasn't, of course, left completely undressed, because she wore a sheath beneath the cleverly arranged watches.

Swatch estimates that the promotion had a total reach of 400,000 from attendees' tweets alone.

Check out the gallery below to see photographs of the dress and its construction.
