I bought a moonswatch moon because I didn’t have the money to buy the real speedmaster. I think it’s a great thing to have made the Omega logo available on a watch for $250.

You realize that Swatch pretty much saved the Swiss watch industry right? Do you know who Hayek’s father is? I don’t really see the issue with this collaboration and am honestly surprised something like this didn’t happen far sooner given the relationship and history btw the brands/corporate umbrella.

The good news is that the NYC Times Square Swatch store had several models in stock in December when we were there. I bought one for my son.

In reply to Craig. Snob? Moi? Hardly. I celebrate quality at every level, whether it’s a Honda Accord or a Porsche 718, a Mondrian Swatch or a Lange. I am a brand absolutist. Both here in the site and out there, in the real world.

Good lord, Robert. For enjoying some quality time off you came back pretty wound up. Swatch is Swatch and Omega is Omega. A little fun collaboration does no one any harm. I am pleased to see new collectors made welcome and given opportunities to participate. I own a few very nice watches along with other less expensive examples myself—but am always delighted any time watch snobs are discomfited. No tributes for you. Check.

In reply to pkd. Fair enough. But it's not you I'm worried about. It's Blancpain.

I would buy BlancSwatch if it was less than $200. The market disagrees with me, but for $260 I can get a something nicer (in terms of design and specs) from a microbrand, Timex, or Casio.
