Aren’t you a darling

Well this comment made my day! 🙌🏻

@@AboutEffingTime I mean it. Podcasts are the great innovation of our time. 20 years ago no one could've heard George Bamford scream about journalists for 5 minutes straight. I can listen to professionals talk about their craft and experts talk my ear off at the touch of a button. It really is crazy.

Bought one for retail in NYC. Probably 30 people in line. 25 of them where scalpers and I had to show ID to purchase because it's one only. Wild

I completely agree with this idea of it being good for those who aren't in the position or don't want to drop omega money on a watch, annoyingly it was ruined by those selling the watches for omega money. A

But at the end of the day, it's a piece of trash that bleeds onto wrist. For some reason fashion brand watches are not ok to wear and everyone says 'oh you could have bought a seiko' when it's the exact same situation, people are buying them for the brand name. But I keep hearing the moonswatch is cool and not to be taken too seriously. If rolex did something like this there would be uproar.

And the whole thing is spoiled by the fact that there are plenty of watch lovers around the world who do not have a Swatch Boutique in their country.. and consequently had no opportunity to buy one if they wanted one.

MoonSwatch is real "Luxury" as it's and only will be available for the happy few, Swatch-endorsed "wrist watch influencers" in the first line 🤣😂

Losers don't deserve Swiss watches.

Is that before or after they went bankrupt?

Exactly. It’s a great idea, but it’s something a struggling business that’s lost direction does, not a strong one. But that’s just how I see it. Adrian.

100%. They a solid no-nonsense watches.

Yes totally agree

This combination is really something out of this world. We r loving the ride.

Great to have found you too Brandon 🙌

Glad you like it Andrew. And you rock! 🙌🏻 A

That last part about free consultancy was a point I brought up later that night after I’d had time to process it all. Another level of genius by Omega.

They really are timeless. Not many watches have lasted nearly 40 years without change. A

@About Effing Time agreed. And serves the purpose of a watch, without breaking the bank - and also the childhood rumours of them being “indestructible” haha

@@hasnehnhaider1876 Yeah that's the coolest part. "Cheap" but solid. A

Love you for it. 🙌🏻

Rain hail or shine we aim to be there for you!!

OG ALERT 🚨

It’s super fun I agree. Getting to learn about new brands keeps this game alive.

That’s so kind and appreciated 🙌

And we can’t wait to see where this rocket ship takes us to as well. Glad you’re coming for the journey.

Much appreciated 🙌 - Andrew

I’ll damn well guarantee it 👌🏻

Thanks for joining Tara 🙌🏻

Congrats!

You’re spot on

Thanks for watching 👍🏻 A

He shouldn't hold back, and neither should Andrew and Adrian. That's what makes the show absolutely organic and entertaining! Great job guys. Loving the show more and more! 👏🏼❤️👍🏼

Thank you monsieur 🎩

Thanks for watching Larry, and great choice of strap 😉. Cheers, Adrian

I agree, I think it would be really interesting for them to open up to collab to more iconic watches. If they are able to improve the operations, it could be a massive money maker for both Swatch and the other brands.

@@AboutEffingTime Yes, ops need some improvements alright. The other brands are taking note for sure. But what a collab indeed, so many potentials for the future provided they learn from the lessons on this one

Is just a plastic quartz watch - you get a seiko cheaper and bettet without the brand. Is like buying a volkswagen porsche edition

@@monkeycouple6935 isn’t Seiko a brand too?

@@AboutEffingTime How about a plastic Rolex Submariner LOL!

🙋🏽‍♂️

It even shocked me when I rewatched it. I could imagine a micro brand, or even someone more established like Christopher Ward asking press how to manage a launch, but not someone with the corporate power or experience of Omega/Swatch Group. A

Exactly! And they fact that half the journalist are watch ppl and half are lifestyle, it affirms my thinking that they really don't know what they are doing or how to go about doing it. It's like throwing sh*t on the wall and hoping some will stick

Is this your mum Adrian?

😂 a watch by any other name still as sweet 🌹

Really? 40 + mins on a bollocks watch Nope totally shit in my opinion

Yes

We’re working on it. Thanks for joining us for the ride.

Thanks a lot Joseph 🙌🏻

@@AboutEffingTime thanks ! Just finished watching it and I loved it ! George was quite.... Loud 😂... Well, my opinion about the moonswatch is a bit of a mix oh what you explained : Prices of watches in general, Omega included are getting higher and higher, whereas people are not getting richer and richer... Moreover, I think the cost of the production of a real moon watch is getting higher and higher too... and the demand of the clients is still high I think.... So maybe Omega and Swatch thought about doin a "cheap but not so easily accessible" version of the moon watch.... Then, I think they did it in a very clever way and the way they launched it was pure genius....But quite risqué too. It went very positive luckily for Omega on Internet, YT, FB, IG etc.... But imagine it went the opposite way.... It would have been quite a disaster (not financial as producing a swatch watch isn't that high, but in terms of image de marque). That's why, in my opinion, they were quite clever to test the way it would be received at first by launching it with little amount of pieces... And in general, what is rare is wanted.... Eureka ! Even if it s not comparable to Rolex at all, the concept is quite the same in terms of you can't get it every where, you can't get it where you want, you have to wait.... So it makes it more desirable. So, to conclude I believe this was a very big marketing coup de maitre done by Omega and Swatch, on how to relaunch the sales after the Covid lockdowns.... Maybe it s also a coup de maitre in a way to tease children and people : they can get first an omega moonswatch..... before getting the real omega moon watch..... So yes, un coup de maitre ! tell me what you think. Btw : I do not have a moonswatch and I don't think I ll get one....😁

haha, it is available online today, it's just traffic has crashed the site.

@@AboutEffingTimeha! Good luck. Looks really very nice indeed 👌🏽

@@FFFFelix it’s so awesome. I was swimming in a Swiss lake today marvelling at the sunlight dancing off its stealthy surface. Get one if you can. So happy right now.

@@Timeandtidewatches said it bloody well Andrew

You are!

Nailed it.

You can’t deny the hits they’ve taken with Bond and Olympics - but they’ve been on a rampage since 🦍

Perfect analogy for the reality of this situation. Very regrettable now the dust has settled.

I could not have said that better! you're spot on?

I think George got most of them off eBay. A

I totally agree

Not to mention the very much needed 200 meters of water resistance!

Thanks for watching Jon 👍🏻. A

Indeed we are. And the lineup is looking hot. Stay tuned for the merch drop.

Yeah I can imagine someone will be fired, or at least moved on from their role. I do love the idea of the MoonSwatch, but the execution has been terrible, someone should be in trouble for that. A

If they had brought a new planet out each month they could have had close to a whole year’s worth of hype and perhaps been able to focus on producing each one for their launch in the greatest numbers possible. The launch could certainly have been a lot better.

You’re right, they could just continue the limited / hard to buy concept and launch more versions. A
