ON SATURDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER, Swatch stores at Ion Orchard and The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands began selling the new Swatch x Blancpain Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms collection. Commemorating 70 years since the first Fifty Fathoms was conceived, there will be five colourways, each inspired by the five oceans of the Earth, in the collection: Arctic (orange), Pacific (yellow), Atlantic (blue), Indian (green) and Antarctic (grey). These watches will be presented to buyers in special diving cases upon purchase at the stores.
Each watch retails for S$565. For context, today, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms costs at least S$15,000, with some expressions going for above S$30,000.
Swatch’s collaborations with haute horology Maisons have always done well. Think back to last year’s MoonSwatch, Swatch’s interpretation of Omega’s Speedmaster Moonwatch. Its release saw snaking queues outside Swatch stores, with avid – and in many cases, manic – collectors queueing outside the Ion Orchard store as early as 5.30a.m. It wasn’t just in Singapore. Chaotic scenes were also seen at Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates. Meanwhile, stores ran out of watches in megacities such as Kuala Lumpur and malls in Pennsylvania, U.S. As we’ve seen in the news, the collaboration with Blancpain has been met with similar enthusiasm.
We therefore have to ask ourselves: Is the Swatch x Blancpain Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms worth the hype and the insane queues?
Yes. It’s not compromising on performance.

August Men Of Tomorrow
In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
