St. Germain

I have been looking at my St. Germain Swatch for nearly ten years now and I'm beginning to wonder what it means. What did Swatch mean naming it St. Germain? Sure, I know what the watch means to ME, but for the first time, I'm wondering what the designer of the watch was referring to.

 There are a number of saints with the name Germain and many of them are French. Considering the words on the face are French, I thought there must be some connection there.

 Then there is the lengendary Count of St. Germain, who is rumored to be immortal (or maybe even a vampire). He is represented quite often in literature, including a French television program called "Le Collectionneur des cerveaux" or the "Collector of Minds."

 Anyone out there who can direct me to what Swatch was talking about when they designed the St. Germain watch?
