Swatch Group and Baselworld
Swatch Group and Baselworld
So I must have missed it, where is Swatch showing their novelties now that they'd exited Basel?
Hoping to see the new Speedy Pro with new movement and maybe 2254 remake based on the new wavy bond case

The releases from Rolex were a wet fart, so it's Omega's year if they're up for it.

That's what I was thinking, Omega finally has a chance to kill R/T. Rolex isn't available for years, and Tudor is putting out Miami Vice wet dreamsJP Chestnut wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 7:04 amThe releases from Rolex were a wet fart, so it's Omega's year if they're up for it.

Hope we see something this week.
Omega / Tudor / Rolex / Sinn / Doxa / Seiko
Re: Swatch Group and Baselworld
Swatch has been solid, I'm betting what they put out is good. Tudor dropped the ball all they had to do was release more color ways of the 58 and be praised.

I might be the only one who thinks Tudor peaked with Pelagos as a revolutionary watch.

Re: Swatch Group and Baselworld
From a brand portfolio point of view the BB, Pelagos, Chronograph era was incredibly solid. They looked like they were on the verge of greatness. I'm sure their CEO felt just like the captain of the Titanic the day it set off.

Possible to agree with that unless you think the bb58 was new, I considered it a refinement and thus would agree with you.Panerai7 wrote:I might be the only one who thinks Tudor peaked with Pelagos as a revolutionary watch.

Re: Swatch Group and Baselworld
I asked Brice to translate a transcription of a phone call between Rolex and Tudor after Pelagos came out:
Rolex - "Merde, WTF are you doing Tudor? You made a better watch than our Submariner and now you're putting our 70-hr movement in it?!"
Tudor - " We're so sorry, monsieur Rolex, we'll make something ugly next time, oui oui. Will an SKX mod work?"

He said it went like this:
Rolex - "hey cocksuckers you are suppose to be licking the batter off our peckers and not banging us from behind!"
Tudor - "we are sorry but you got soft and we didn't know what else to do, maybe we can be the catcher next time?"
