Ran into this official Blancpain post while scrolling my facebook and a friend shared this photo with me:
Thoughts? 😁

I’m waiting for the Swatch x Jaquet Droz collab. Maybe even Bréguet.

I aim to collect one from each collab haha. Got the mission to uranus (because moon is too hard to come by at a watch store) and planning on adding this one day when they become available at a store😊
The Sistem51 only has 3 ATM of water resistance, same as the MoonSwatch. 😬
Yep, I thought they'd struggle to make it look interesting.
Edit: now I see it's just a Photoshop.
Another plastic wonder with a superior brand name attached to it?
Looks awesome!!!
Based on how the Moonswatch launch went down, I’m not interested in whatever this is.

.050 fathoms 😆

I plan on having this displayed next to my moonswatch in their boxes, unused heehee

You said it! Swatch group marketing at its finest 😄
Glad they shifted to another brand in the Swatch group. Maybe this time I can get one in the store without the infinite line 😂

I intend to get one. Not for use but displayed proudly next to my moonswatch 😄

Give it time, eventually everyone that wants one can get one at a swatch store. It's not limited edition anyway so all we need is patience 😄

I was able to secure a moonswatch over a year later but its not a mission to the moon haha. With the blancpain i imagine it would take about a year for the hype to die down too. Good thing theyre not limited edition 😁
Haha. I admire your courage to be able to dabble with the insides of your watch for fun (unless youre a watchmaker?) 🥰
Think this looks great and can’t wait to pick one up. A great way for swatch group to shed some overdue light on the 50 fathoms. Basically a guaranteed winner.

I also plan on getting one but waiting until the lines die down a bit. I have to make quite a trip (it's a plane ride away) to the nearest swatch store and would suck coming out empty handed. 😆

Yes I’m not sure I’d take a plane for one! Luckily in London we have a few options for search stores..

Lucky you hehehe. Enjoy! Once you get one 😊
I fail to see how they could possibly replicate a Jaquet Droz. Let's be honest, Omega and Blancpain don't really have extremely unique dials; they're pretty easy to replicate cheaply. JD, on the other hand, as far as I know, either do extremely complicated dials or complications. I don't think they have any 'plain' dials that Swatch can just throw on some plastic and ship out.
It’s gotta be something simple that breaks immediately. Or maybe it’ll be a Jaquet Droz watch that is swatch-themed…..

Problem with making a JD that's Swatch themed is it's most probably not going to increase the sales of either Swatch or JD, so it's kinda pointless. The Moonswatch was obviously a big hit for Swatch and apparently also boosted sales for the actual Moonwatch. This Swatch x Blancpain collab isn't likely to bring much aside from more brand recognition to Blancpain, but Swatch should be able to sell a decent number of pieces if they don't completely mess up the pricing. A Swatch themed JD, on the other hand, would most likely be a failure for everyone involved. I'm assuming the collab would follow regular JD pricing (i.e. very expensive). The target audience for JD most definitely don't want to cheapen their very expensive watch with Swatch branding on it and it's not like it's going to boost Swatch sales either.

Are they gonna do it with every lux brand in the group? 😂 😂 😂

I can only hope!
I'll wait 6-12 months before trying to get mine. Not a big issue since non limited edition anyway 😄
Oooooo non limited you say?? I’ll def be buying it then lol I’m such a hypocrite 😂
Horrible I have CW Aquitaine black GMT and as 50 fathoms was the inspiration this is just boring sterile bs

This is just a photoshop version, but im guessing the real deal that releases on 9.9 will be similar. I plan to get one just as a display piece behind a glass cabinet and i can tell watch elitists i own a blancpain 🤣
