A lesser known fact was that as Swatch grew exponentially, several different companies tried to pirate them with blatant copies. The colourful watch graphic designs found in the band were impossible to replicate. The supplier Hirsh from Austria had a secretive manufacturing process that used injection molding to a film that bore the pre printed graphics . That process ruined the plans of the counterfeiters and secured Swatch from a sea of piracy.
I randomly clicked and thought (damn i remember this voice) then realized our Turkish watch guy sailed into international waters. Very happy and proud. You are amazing cinematographer and im glad that you also started narrating your videos in English for international audience.
Very well explained, this is a most interesting story. As a watch collector and enthusiast I have owned several Swatches (as a teenager I had one of the first ones on the market in 1984) but never really warmed to them. OK, they are cheap, trendy and colourful for children and young people and maybe serve as an entry point to the watch hobby. More interesting than a black plastic Casio or Timex digital for sure. But I always fell out of love with them pretty quickly and found myself wanting better 'grown up' watches that would last more than a few years. Seiko and Tissot were the brands that really got me hooked, a big step up in every respect . . . including in terms of value for money I would say. In fact my first 'real' watches, a Seiko Exceline (1987) and Tissot PR50 (1995) have been faultless and are still in use today. I am still buying new watches from these brands today and always will! But the Swiss watch industry definitely was saved by the Swatch, and for that we should all be grateful.
Congrats, This video is stunning but if you upload video more oftenly, I will be pleased . You are like people who have more than one channel because there is too much time between your videos.🙂😉
Salih I have another channel about watches on my native language which now has over 160K followers and it is really difficult to manage 2 channels together. But will upload more frequently from now on here too
@thewatchloupe I know it. I have been your subcribers for more than two years. I am just kidding. It's nice to learn that you try to upload videos more frequently 🙂😃

Abi konuşan AI mı siz misiniz?
This video was dubbed by my own voice(AI) from a mini documentary I had published last year.
