The more you know, the faster you are.
Each puzzle comes with a countdown of 1000 .beats. The earlier you stop the countdown by entering the right code, the more points your team is awarded and the closer you get to winning the trip to the exclusive Swatch event in London. To increase your chances, you need to be up to date about the latest net.hunt news at all times.
You’ll receive essential information via the notifications sent to your email account. Make sure to check it every day! More background info will be delivered right here on the news beats section of the net.hunt website. For every puzzle, two additional hints will be sent out via the net.hunt Twitter channel and on the News beats page 200 .beats and 400 .beats after the puzzle is posted. Check them as quickly as possible to get closer to the solution!
Stay tuned for more tips on how to become a successful net.hunter!
Albert Einstein – one man revolutionizing the whole universe.
Albert Einstein – genius, maverick, mystery hunter. In his studying years at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, his free spirit already locked horns with conservative thinking. Instead of wasting his time by memorizing formal mathematical knowledge, he preferred to explore unknown territory in theoretical physics. To his mathematics professor, he was a rare guest in his lectures.
His endless list of achievements proves his approach right. On the list of Einstein’s numerous scientific breakthroughs, one major discovery stands out: The theory of relativity. This theory revolutionized theoretical physics, eliminating principles that had been the scientific standard for 200 years.
The theory also had a huge impact on astrophysics, as it forms the theoretical basis for black holes: regions in space where due to gravity absolutely nothing, including light, can escape. As the current state of scientific knowledge suggests, Einstein was right – another mystery solved.
Einstein’s thoughts reach so far they even have opened the door to something we – up to now – only know from science fiction: time travel. Under certain conditions, time dilation is possible, theoretically allowing us to travel to the future. And if man was able to move faster than light, the past would also be a possible destination.
So if you meet your future self tomorrow, don’t be surprised – and don’t let him spoil your Swatch net.hunt by telling you the solutions!
Roy Chapman Andrews – conqueror of the Jurassic.
Roy Chapman Andrews was born with a passion for the wilderness. As a kid, he spent most of his time exploring the local forests, fields and waters. He was especially intrigued by the present wildlife, consequentially developing marksman skills and teaching himself taxidermy – a hobby that would finance his college tuition.
Soon after his graduation, he started his a long series of expeditions, leading to his most important discoveries taking place in the 1920. In this time, he set out to Mongolia, planning to solve the mystery of mankind’s origin. He failed in this endeavor – only to discover even more fascinating things. He became the man to find several fossils of Dinosaur species that hadn’t even been known before, including the Protoceraptops (becoming the name giver to the P. andrewsi), the Pinacosaurus, Saurornithoides, Velociraptor and a nest of Oviraptor eggs.
“Always there has been an adventure just around the corner – and the world is full of corners”, he once said, and these words he lived by. During his expeditions, he escaped death more than ten times. He almost drowned in typhoons, his boat was charged by a wounded whale, he was nearly eaten by wild dogs, fanatical lama priests endangered him, he fell off two cliffs, narrowly escaped being eaten by a python snake and had run-ins with bandits trying to kill him – all in the name of solving nature’s mysteries.
Don’t worry, the Swatch net.hunt is not this dangerous, actually it’snot dangerous at all – but it will be just as challenging. Get yourself ready!

The behind the scene of Abbey Road is our story, tell us yours!
After 4,000 .beats full of Swatch net.hunt emotions – wake up in the middle of the night, hate for the puzzle apparently too difficult, laughs with your teammates for the funny ideas you had, despair because the solution is not coming, joy because you and your team made it. Here a part of our Swatch Club net.hunt story, we are looking forward to read yours!
All our good net.hunters have for sure noticed that the pieces of the watch in last three days came in a strange order. Haven’t you? If yes, somebody may have thought there was some bug in the system, somebody else may have believed that at Swatch Club we are not able to count in a proper way.
But there is much more than this! Are you interested in reading our story and learn how we fought against time, nature and technology to bring you in Abbey Road? Then hold on to your chair, we are going to bring you with us back in time and make you live with us the story of our trip to Abbey Road.
It was Sunday 27th when, after answering to all your requests, we took our plane directed to London. After a quite turbulent flight, the four of us, your Swatch Club International team, landed in London City Airport.
The rain welcomed us together with a light wind and a funky taxi driver. The guy brought us in a quite untraditional and, we would add unforgettable, thai restaurant and inform us that nothing would work after midnight because of an upcoming storm and a weather alert. A storm? A weather alert? What are we exactly talking about? Well, the next few hours were unforgettable. Heavy wind whistling and howling, trees falling around us – our mission to bring a 2x1 meter sign weighting almost 100 kilos in Abbey Road was in danger. It was around 200 .beats on Monday 28th when the 130km/h wind news on BBC made us decide it was time for a new Swatch challenge: the TIME puzzle.
We needed 190 .beats to reorganize our website, hoping that you would not miss a smile because of St. Jude storm, and a whole 500 .beats to postpone our 1,000 .beat performance in Abbey Road to Tuesday.
It was 320 .beats on Tuesday 29th October when we arrived with our 2 meter sign and our Swatch Club net.hunt material in Abbey road. Webcam was working and the sun rising. The time for our Swatch Club Stars on stripes on.
Now we are back seated at our office and almost do not believe the last 3,000 beats really happened and flied away. What about you?
Which is your story? Write us to net.hunt@swatch.com and tell us your Swatch net.hunt story by November 7th. Please include your team name and number in the subject. We will publish the most interesting ones and prize them with a sound prize: the unique Swatch Club headphones :)

As viscous as chewing gum.
As dark as the night. But somebody seems to enjoy looking at it.
To bring some light into this PITCH black room: The experiment started sometime in the Golden Twenties.
