12,999 pieces in the edition, they were in great demand. Swatch mania was huge in the early 90's, bigger than it was for the Moonswatch gimmick of last year.
There’s no such thing as a limit on the amount of morons with money…..
So @ 13,000 clowns paid @ $1,600 for a swatch…….and I s’pose some missed out!
There’s no such thing as a limit on the amount of morons with money…..a figure only bested by the amount of morons without money!
Seemingly the rest of us both with and without money are a minority

About 99% of the population thinks only a moron would spend US$260 on a non-repairable plastic watch today, in 2023, it doesn't even tell the date. Yet here we are. Many have bought multiple Moonswatches because they are 'fun', there are some who have bought all 11 versions for a total of $2,860, plus they will add this new gold version to the collection, whatever the cost. There are always morons among us, most of the mobs that queued up around the world last March fit the definition of a moron. Swatch knows that and capitalizes on it. It's fun to watch.
Explain to me how these potential buyers are morons. We pay thousands or tens of thousands for a watch that needs to be manually wound and still is off by a few seconds a day, when you phone is superior at telling time.
These things are LUXURIES. It's jewelry that just happens to tell the time... meaning they are just toys for adults. If they are dumb for buying an expensive Swatch, we are all just as dumb for buying an expensive Omega...
If you think it's silly and dilutes the Omega brand, then just don't buy it. Vote with your money.
The sunswatch?
Keep in mind that the vast majority of the earth's population would consider that anyone who buys an expensive mechanical wrist watch, costing many thousands, that doesn't tell time as well as their phone or cheap quartz watch, and requires expensive periodic maintenance that takes months, would be a "moron with money" or worse...
Despite assurances that it would kill Omega, ruin watch collecting, etc. it has been nothing but a success. For some odd reason the Moonswatch simply drives some people crazy. It's very fun to watch...
Is that even a thing ?
I have two of these things, the pink one and the Alaska looking one. Both still in the box as I was offered by friends who were at Swatch in Germany and could get them and I can't say no so ended up with them. I will say no the next time.
EDIT: I just googled Sunswatch, its the yellow one.
