Mind Your Swatch
I don't have one... yet... but I'm thinking that this will be my next eBay purchase.
I was sure that there was a version of this with "Mind The Gap" written on it properly and a "Swatch Pay" feature for travelling on the London Underground, but maybe I dreamt it or it was a Mandela Effect.
Anyway, I'm going to start collecting British-themed Swatch watches as a sub-collection because I clearly have nothing better to do. I have no life and I'm bored. I wish I had better or more profound reasons.
While on eBay, I also saw a Swatch with "DT" on the dial instead of "BT". I don't know whether it's supposed to be a parody of British Telecom or something else, but the font and colours are the same. Anyone know?
Details from the Swatch website about the "Mind Your Swatch" watch in the top picture:
MIND YOUR SWATCH
Swatch celebrates the city of London with Mind Your Swatch (GZ276), a new Gent Originals with a colourful collage of signs and symbols evoking the city and its famous landmarks. A playful mixture of iconic images spells out “LON-DON” across the silicone strap and dial, moving from an “L” through a flag and an orange sky over Tower Bridge to a colourful warning to “look left” be-fore crossing the street. A big black umbrella forms a rainy-day “D” before a 34 mm clear plastic case frames a sun-brushed silver dial and broad blue bar across a pink circle—a nod to the familiar London underground logo. The 12 o’clock side of the dial presents the final red and black “N” and brings leg-endary double-decker buses to mind. All in all, this sophisticated English Gent evokes good times in London—and is a perfect souvenir to remember them by.
I have no idea why I'm now so addicted to Swatch, I just am.
I'm pretty much done with collecting now, but I've certainly got a good variety of affordable watches. As an occasional YouTuber, I'm a comedian not an influencer. Skmei is the new Casio!
I have a "Mind The Gap" watch. It looks like a Swatch but it's not. It's just a cheap watch. I will have to find it to show you. I was mad when I got it. I always wanted one and it's junk.
I have one swatch at the moment but over the years a few. Liking swatch is like falling down a well, I can spend hours happily looking at the designs. And you can’t say that about any other brand where usually you get a few different colours dials.
Swatches are ok depending which one’s looking to get a Sistem 51. So many designs and styles to choose.
I've been thinking of getting a #swatch out of a historical appreciation for the quartz revolution
Honestly, this mind the gap one is awesome looking. Really fun
