The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 313: The Blancpain x Swatch Collaboration, Plus a Geneva Watch Days Recap

This week on the podcast, Blake is joined by Zach Kazan to talk about all the big news coming out of Geneva Watch Days, including an impressive collaboration between MB&F and H. Moser for Only Watch, an impressive new chronograph from Sylvain Pinaud, and a Doxa that, perhaps, stole the show (for better or worse). But first, they talk about what will surely be one of the most talked about releases of the year, the new Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms. It was inevitable that Swatch would follow up the massive success of the MoonSwatch with something, but it’s kind of hard to believe that we’re really here talking about a colorful, BioCeramic take on the vaunted Fifty Fathoms. 

Let us know what you think of the new Scuba Fifty, as well as the big Geneva Watch Days releases, in the comments below, or in our new Slack community, which you can join by clicking here.
