I welcome thoughts and ideas on the upcoming AP-Marvel collaboration piece
Apr 06, 2021,04:42 AM
You all know a partnership between these two storied brands was recently announced. A first timepiece will be revealed in a few days on April 10.
PLEASE, this thread is not for bashing. Many of you are clearly on record in the announcement thread, and I ask you not to reply in this thread if you are not genuine about the topic I am presenting.
I am curious as to what you think / expect might be part of a watch design between these 2 brands.
I will start by saying I have never been caught up in the comic book brands. I know people who are at the theater for opening night every time a new movie comes out. Aside from the older Batman show and movies (and that is DC I think, at least I know something here!), I probably could only name a few Marvel characters.
That said, I expect a first watch to not be centered around a specific character, but perhaps the genre instead. I imagine aggressive case detailing, something that has a body armor appearance. Maybe a rubberized case? I think of the Survivor case, and it featured many details related to the design theme. I see that happening here.
Would you be shocked if there were electronics, maybe a touch screen? I would not.
Is a CODE 11.59 case more appropriate than an Offshore case? Perhaps rendered in titanium?
I look forward to your ideas...
