[Swatch] X Blancpain seems to be a dud (alien.top)

I was walking by the San Francisco Swatch store and dropped in to take a look at the Blancpain collaboration. The Swatch employee said they still only had limited colors of the MoonSwatch available but every color of the Blancpain was in stock. I’m not interested in either but it confirmed my suspicions that the Blancpain isn’t nearly as popular as the MoonSwatch, especially at the higher price point.

I think you’re right on all points. I’m surprised they didn’t just do a Seamaster instead. I assume they’re waiting for the next Bond film and we’ll see a Swatch X Omega Seamaster X Bond watch.

Seamaster would get great but Swatch Group is desperate to make Blancpain relevant. So far, no good.

They should start by shrinking the FF 3 millimeters

Yeah they completely missed the memo that people don't want big watches anymore.

They could have tried a lot of other things first.
