[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.

It's almost like nobody cares about Blancpain in the first place. I know they had a rich history and all that, but they went out of business, and this Blancpain isn't really the same Blancpain as it used to be, someone just bought the rights to the name and recreated the brand. And now Swatch made an expensive, plastic, disposable version of it.
