If there's one place it's not really okay to be late, it's the airport. This is why it's so clever that Swatch thought to open at O'Hare. The 323-square-foot space is ultramodern and minimalist, with bright lights, colorful accents and an open air design. Displays sit on curved countertops and are suspended on wall displays. The shop is the third Swatch in Chicago– following the recent Michigan Avenue opening of the brand's higher-end Swatch Tourbillon boutique. The opening signals the T5 redevelopment is in full swing with a slew of businesses following suit including a third Vosges, Bulgari, Michael Kors, Ferragamo, Emporio Armani and Intelligentsia.
