Swatch i Audemars Piguet łączą siły, prezentując zegarek Royal Pop
To był jeden z najgorętszych tematów ostatnich tygodni w świecie zegarków. Po miesiącach spekulacji, przecieków i analizowania tajemniczych zapowiedzi, Swatch oficjalnie zaprezentował owoc współpracy z legendarną manufakturą Audemars Piguet.
Zamiast spodziewanej, plastikowej kopii najsłynniejszego szwajcarskiego zegarka na rękę, otrzymaliśmy projekt o wiele bardziej intrygujący – Royal Pop. To modułowy, przekształcalny zegarek kieszonkowy.
Nie z własnego podwórka
Decyzja o stworzeniu tego konkretnego produktu jest wydarzeniem bez precedensu. Po spektakularnym sukcesie modeli MoonSwatch (we współpracy z należącą do Swatch Group Omegą) oraz Scuba Fifty Fathoms (z marką Blancpain, również z portfolio grupy), branża spodziewała się kolejnego projektu z „własnego podwórka” (wielu stawiało na markę Breguet).
Tymczasem partnerem został niezależny gigant haute horlogerie – Audemars Piguet. Stworzenie taniej wersji słynnego modelu Royal Oak w formie zegarka na rękę mogłoby stanowić zbyt duże ryzyko wizerunkowe dla oryginału. Zamiast tego firmy postanowiły nawiązać do historycznego modelu kieszonkowego AP (referencja 5691) oraz do kultowej linii Swatch POP z wczesnych lat 90.
Jeden zegarek, dziesiątki zastosowań
Royal Pop nie jest typowym czasomierzem. Główne urządzenie to wykonana z biostalioceramiki (Bioceramic) koperta o średnicy 40 mm i grubości zaledwie 8,4 mm. Zamknięto w niej charakterystyczne DNA modelu Royal Oak: ośmiokątny pierścień z ośmioma widocznymi śrubami oraz tarczę ozdobioną słynnym wzorem Petite Tapisserie.
Kluczem do całego projektu jest modułowość. Zegarek jest „wpinany” w specjalne ramki, co pozwala nosić go na dziesiątki sposobów: jako klasyczny zegarek kieszonkowy (z dołączonym skórzanym rzemieniem), jako wisior na szyi, jako ozdobę przypiętą do torebki lub paska, a dzięki specjalnej podstawce – jako elegancki zegar biurkowy.
Z pewnością kwestią czasu są zewnętrzne akcesoria, które pozwolą zamontować moduł na nadgarstku. Warto odnotować, że tym razem Swatch zastosował po obu stronach koperty szkło szafirowe, rezygnując z podatnego na zarysowania szkła syntetycznego znanego z poprzednich projektów.
Ręcznie nakręcany Sistem51
Sercem urządzenia jest mechanizm Sistem51 – po raz pierwszy w wariancie z naciągiem ręcznym. Cechuje go 90-godzinna rezerwa chodu, antymagnetyczna sprężyna włosowa Nivachron oraz dokładność regulowana laserowo na etapie produkcji.
Transparentny dekiel ukazuje mechanizm ozdobiony nadrukami w stylu pop-art (inspirowanymi twórczością Roya Lichtensteina). Ciekawostką jest wycięcie w bębnie sprężyny, które służy jako wizualny wskaźnik rezerwy chodu.
Kolekcja obejmuje 8 wariantów kolorystycznych (nazwanych na cześć liczby 8 w różnych językach, odzwierciedlając 8 boków pierścienia). Sześć z nich to wersje Lépine (koronka na godzinie 12), a dwie to odmiany savonnette (koronka na godzinie 3 i mała sekunda na godzinie 6).
Zegarki będą dostępne wyłącznie w wybranych, stacjonarnych butikach Swatch. Ceny ustalono na około 385 euro (wersja bez sekundnika) oraz 400 euro (wersja z małą sekundą). Audemars Piguet zapowiedziało, że 100% swoich zysków z tego projektu przeznaczy na fundację wspierającą zachowanie i naukę rzadkich umiejętności zegarmistrzowskich.

My grandfather had a beloved Waltham Pocket Watch that was handed down to my dad. It's an heirloom. And it still works! But I need someone to explain to me the madness for this.

Why I Dislike the Royal Pop
(and it’s incestuous cousins)
Yes, this is a hater post. So what? I’m allowed to hate the Royal Pop, just like you are allowed to inexplicably love it.
Why do I hate it?
First off, it’s plastic. It’s designed to not be durable; to not last. In a world that is growing ever more lenient of the disposable and temporary (which apparently includes people), do we really need another god-damned knick knack destined to end up in a land fill?
Second, it’s an expensive piece of plastic shit. $400/$420 for these bag charms? You can find and buy multiple watches made out of actual metal for the same price. Actual metal watches that will potentially last decades and generations. But I guess the rich need something to waste all the money on that they refuse to pay employees or in taxes after already being able to actually afford a $20,000 Daytona they’ll rarely use to it’s full potential. Not fake afford, actually afford.
Third, last & most importantly, to me; Swatch seems to be going all in on the plastification (it is TOO a word! 😉) of their watches and brand, and even other brands! It feels like they don’t care that they are allowing Omega to rot faster than the organic material surrounding their disposable watches in the world’s landfills. By devoting money, design effort & resources to these bIOceRaMiC Happy Meal toy abominations of watches, they are just killing off an iconic brand. Is it any coincidence that Omega has slipped to third in the Morgan Stanley report behind Cartier after the introduction of the MoonSwatch & just before the Swatch x AP collab? I think not!
Comment or not. Makes no difference. Too many people are too distracted by the hype machine to actually think past the end of their fucking noses. Keep telling the Emperor his non-existent clothes are great, folks. Are watches THAT boring to you that you go ape shit over a little color? Or are people just that uneducated about watches to think these are worthy of the hype?

Based on the headlines I've seen this morning this is an international phenomenon.
Somebody will need to explain it to me.

#TodayILearned that today was the launch day of an Audemars Piguet/Swatch collaboration #watch called the “Royal Pop” and there were lines outside Swatch stores worldwide. It was so chaotic at so many locations that stores closed down for the safety of their staff. Fights broke out, lines were cut, police was called. Masses of people were herded out of malls.
All this for a pocketwatch (yes, it’s a pocketwatch/lanyard watch, not a wristwatch) that sells for $400, and is a mass-market, non-limited-edition product.
I guess I just don’t get it. Why? Wait a month and get it online, maybe?
