Don't Start Watch Collecting:
Watch snobs are furious… and honestly, that might be the funniest part.
Swatch and Audemars Piguet are teaming up, and the watch world is already losing its mind. Is this a fun, accessible twist on luxury watch design? Or is it just another shameless money grab?
In this episode, we’re talking about why the Swatch x AP collab feels like another sign that modern watch collecting is becoming over-commodified, over-hyped, and way less romantic than it used to be.
Because let’s be shane van gisbergen honest:
Swatch wants hype.
AP wants relevance.
Flippers want resale.
Influencers want content.
And fanboys want to cry.
Everybody is playing their role perfectly.
But if a cheaper Swatch version can make your Royal Oak feel less special… maybe the ok watch was never the point.

Is this bad for watchmaking, or are watch snobs just mad regular people get to play too?
