Swatch Jeremy Scott Lightning Flash Watch
I just had to have this watch when I saw it. It was like Flash Gordon on my wrist. This lighting bolt Swatch is a clever version of the famous watch designed – not by Flash Gordon – but by fashion designer Jeremy Scott. The bold looking timepiece is, by all accounts, a fashion watch. It is for show and fun and truly succeeds at being a spectacle.Speaking of spectacles, have you seen Jeremy Scott? His sense of fashion is like mash-up meets comic book. He actually designed three special watches for Swatch – including this Lightning Flash, the Winged Swatch, and the Swatch Opulence (with the frame). The winged Swatch goes well with those wildly colored winged shoes from Adidas he’s wearing.
Ask The Audience: How Many Watches Do You Buy A Year?
I recently had a discussion with a few fellow watch collectors and innocently asked the question, “So, how many watches do you tend to buy a year?” Once I asked, I realized how wildly the answer to such a question could vary from person to person. Some enthusiasts probably have strict quotas to meet or not exceed per year, such as affording themselves two new timepiece per year. Other people probably purchase more spontaneously without tracking how many watches they tend to get each calendar year. Either way, the answer to “how many watches do you buy a year?” seems so important because collecting timepieces without a strategy can (and often does) lead to burnout. Having a limit to the watches you purchase per year can, in many instances, meaningfully extend the satisfaction that comes from acquiring new watches. Are you pacing your watch collecting journey appropriately?You don’t need to remind me that my above statement comes with a little bit of irony.
