Thanks for sharing! Are they serviceable? Swatch has never been good on that topic with their Quartz watches. Best, É. [nt]

Well, the Sistem 51 was not serviceable

But I haven’t seen anything on this one yet. Cazalea

Thanks for the info. It starts being a bit pricey then, don't you think? Best, É. [nt]

Somewhat less concerned about"tossing" a $150 watch versus $1500. (nt)

Agree- that is too far out of the box

I am a HUGE fan of Swatch, as I collected them in my childhood. They have challenges the concept many times with success. With 1500 bucks you can do a lot.

Crazy misguided design and pricing absurd in the extreme

can you imagine re-selling? Slit wrists in advance. But to each his/her own
