Swatch Just Made the Weirdest (and Priciest) MoonSwatch Yet
I genuinely thought we were done with these. The lines, the madness, the rotating cast of Bioceramic planets—it felt like the MoonSwatch thing had run its course a dozen releases ago. But Swatch, in all its chaotic energy, has decided we’re not done yet. So here we are. Again.

The Typsim 100M is exactly that kind of watch—a new piece that lives in the details.
