Blancpain x Swatch

[Multum in parvo]

Bioceramic, 91m/50 Fathoms WR, Sistem51 automatic movement, EUR 390.00 if you can find one…

A fair package for a fun summer watch if you can avoid the scalpers.

I guess they will work slowly through their brand portfolio. How about a plastic Breguet?

And the first secondary market offers are in, 2-2.4K

Do you get a small cheeseburger, fries, and apple slices with it?

I knew it! After MoonSwatch, I had a feeling the Fifty Fathoms would be next in line for Swatchification. That amazing foresight and $5 might get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Is X the new &?

I see a lot of these X's pop up these few years.

At least Tissot already makes their own (Sideral), and don't need to do one with Swatch.

I think it means "by".

As in 4X4 (four by four)

Could've been worse

300m WR and a list price of 1.1k makes that one a proper if colorful Tissot

At least you gonna give them a thumbs up for the honesty concerning the concept

If you can find one...

I'm not a watch guy but someone from abroad asked about getting one of Swatch + Omega ones before and the nearest store (about 120 miles away) didn't ever have them. I called several times.

Anyway, these seem to be more of collectible things. Who wears watches these days?

They are gorgeous, though.

They remind me of all the performance ICE vehicles every manufacturer is churning out trying to make a quick buck on dying technology as they transition (at least the performance end for sure) to electric.

It seems that some greedy individuals found out that the Fifty Fathoms is much more niche than the Speedy. Secondary offerings start now at 550 instead of 2.4k

If this was in the thick of the pandemic it would have sold for $10000!

With the success of the Moonswatch... just a matter of time. Although the movement is considered a throw-a-way, it's still an automatic so I guess that's something.

I'm sure it will do well, and be 10X the price on the secondary market.

Just like the Omega Swatches, this will be expensive and hard to get initially but will be available everywhere within 6 months for at or below retail.

My wife has one of the Omega Swatch models (the yellow/white one). It looks amazing but it feels like a cheap plastic toy. Not a $300-400 watch by any stretch IMO and laughable when $1000+ thru the aftermarket.

I’ll stick to my real Seamaster, thanks!

Available everywhere as in all Swatch stores? Because they don't sell it online. And many folks don't have access to Swatch stores.

Incidentally, I had a video about Grand Seiko show up in my feed talking about how it's the best value brand.

Didn't even know such a thing existed.

Well, I found one for 490.00 plus 15.00 shipping. Let’s have a look at it in real life
