Being a novice in the watch world as well defining my taste in watches, I find it so refreshing to see folks with some wealth still enjoy the affordable things in life like the average Joe. I recently added a Swatch to my collection and love it. Great content on all three channels!
LOVE to see this Shmee! I am obsessed with only a few things in this world, one is cars and another is watches! You’ve got another subscriber here! Thanks for sharing this and everything else you share with us!
I'm a huge watch enthusiast but cannot say I have gave much attention to Swatch watches however these videos are really a good insight to how awesome swatch is. Great video
I have a Swatch that I got at Expo 86 in Vancouver. It had the sphere that is now Science World on it. I need to see if I can dig it up. I might still have it
Tim I’m sure it’s twice now that you’ve referred to the movement inside the Swatch as “automatic”? As I know you know they are most definitely a quartz movement.
Great to see your Swatch collection Tim. Swatch also, as you may know have a link to cars. They developed the Swatchmobile car. I used to see the prototypes racing around the Biel offices carpark without a body when I worked for Swatch in the 80/90s. Later after working with VW it went on to become the Smart car we have today with Mercedes.
I really enjoy these chilled out watch videos👍. Destination watches are a cool souvenir to remind you of the time you spent there. When I was in Tokyo , I bought a super cheap retro Casio digital watch for about 15€ . I enjoy wearing it a lot, and it reminds me of that evening in Shinjuku every time.
Much better on your presentation. The stories behind each piece, you're enthusiasm about how you acquired them and its meaning to you are all excellent. If you would just take a wee bit more time on each piece to pause a moment longer and hold the face of the watch up close to the camera (or bring the camera down to the watch) it would make it perfect. The angle you had the second camera set was good but if you would bring the watch up to the camera so we could enjoy the full affect of the design would be great. Thanks Tim! This is a fun and interesting side of your collections!
Cool surprise and nice presentation, a great angle to approach watches and collecting, good fun! Perhaps look at refurbished watch/jewellry store cabinets with glass and lighting for displaying✌
GOD BLESS YOU SHMEE. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. 🙏
most watch enthusiasts hate on the swatch. but it's just something fun to collect for not too much money mate. something young, fun, colorful, and plastic-ky. why not.
@@Shwatch150 Get someone to custom make something for you that has the same look/design (colour and materials) for both the Swatches shelves and also for the model cars and legos.. otherwise it looks like a second hand shop
I wonder if you can get a sapphire crystal for it. I wish it was an automatic, considering it is an Omega collaboration. For $250-300, I wish it was an automatic instead of a quartz. Any watch I get with mineral glass or plastic crystals, I swap out to sapphire. All my Hamiltons and Seikos have been switched to sapphire crystals. No matter how careful you are, you get scratches on non-sapphire crystals. It's just aggravating. I've had one Hamilton khaki break the mineral glass crystal 4 times. I switched it out to sapphire and it's been great. Maybe there's some justification for some $5k-10k Rolexes and Omegas having plastic crystals, to keep consistent with the original design. Maybe you can make the argument that you'll be more careful with a watch that costs thousands of dollars and you wouldn't be doing anything where you would scratch it anyways. Maybe you can say that it's easy to polish the scratches out. But I just can't see the sense in any of those arguments. I want sapphire whether it's a watch that costs a few hundred bucks, and especially on a watch that costs a few thousand.
bigger zoom on watchs please, front and back. with the Light, we can't see them properly. cool channel, loving it. Cheers

Some closeups would be nice😎.Watch content is great👏👏
Excellent collection Tim, fully appreciate the meaning they have for you.
I love all your swatches

I haven't been much into watches recently, but this channel got me back into them haha. Awesome collections!
Enjoying the new Channel Tim. Are you going to try and collect all the Moonswatch versions?
For sure, but maybe when it all calms down a touch
These are so cool! I like the Dubai one the most I think 💙
Great! My grandpa inherited me a Jacob&Co watch the last month so I'm starting to grow appreciation for watches, great video
Thanks Tim, very interesting video.
This is a cool change of pace. Awesome watches
The Dubai one is crazy on point
Very Dubai isn't it!
Can you do the part 1 video once again with zoom on the watch detail? 😔.. I dying to see it..

Absolutely loving the watch channel
Thank you!
I didn't know that they still made them, I had one in the 90's around my 8th birthday if I'm remembering correctly.
That’s a nice collection of watches.
You should do a build and review Lego channel 😉
Im finally starting to begin my personal watch collection by starting of with a swatch and hopefully being able to get the swatch omega very soon
Love Swatches. Could we have close up’s when you do these videos?
Hi Tim ,had Swatch watches and the sunglasses in the 90s were you could put different colored glass in them .brings back memories 😎
Cheerful, fun, and suitable for everyone
GOD BLESS YOU SHMEE. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. 🙏
Christmas??Really??
Looking forward to more videos on this channel
Thank you! Just a bit of fun but I've got some really interesting ideas for what can come up soon when I'm home and able to crack on.
MORE OF THIS PLZ
Very, very cool
Thanks
The Amsterdam edition is superb, looking forward to seeing if you will get some from the Centre Pompidou colab
To be shown soon;)
How do Houston the wrist strap from drying out?
How to display them... on the floor, under a thick layer of perspex or glass.
most watch enthusiasts hate on the swatch.
but it's just something fun to collect for not too much money mate.
something young, fun, colorful, and plastic-ky.
why not.
Is there a destination Swatch representing Spain? If you are aware of? Thank you
Harıkasın abım…
You’ll be collecting Maccy D Happy Meal toys next Tim.
Ahh original swatches. The first ones were 59canadian dollars
Hi Tim!
Hey
I would say go with Angled / Slanted Shoe Shelves style set up for your displaying your swatches
That's the kind of idea I've been thinking too
@@Shwatch150 Get someone to custom make something for you that has the same look/design (colour and materials) for both the Swatches shelves and also for the model cars and legos.. otherwise it looks like a second hand shop
The Swatch Porto (Portugal) SUOZ315 comes in a little funny/cute wine barrel!
Any G Shocks in the collection 😊
Not yet
Does that mean there will be no video on a car today? 😕😕
Love your content!!
Haha we mix it up across the various channels
@@Shwatch150 Sure, a lot of success!!
Picking up a Omega/Swatch for anything close to launch prices isn’t going to happen or I’d have a few.
Thanks for the extra content Tim 👌🏻
Thanks for checking it out!
Man that a lot of swatch
This is a tiny percentage of my collection ;)
Hi
Hello

A shmwatch
Is this not the car guy?

None of the first 10 is special
Just a normal swatch..
By the way I'm a collector since 1986.
And I can tell u all about them
Time to visit Manny again?
