This collaboration had the world talking. Many watch lovers were excited at the possibility of finally owning an affordable AP, but those expectations were quickly dashed. The first image released hinted at a traditional wristwatch, fueling speculation and excitement. However, when the official reveal came, fans discovered it was actually a pocket watch with a modern twist. This was an unexpected direction that sparked mixed reactions across the watch community.

However, this still led people to wait in long lines, thinking it was a limited-time offer, but this collab is expected to be sold year-round. Being described as a perfect intro watch for newcomers and a unique addition for seasoned collectors. From my perspective, this piece leans towards a fashion piece and has the components of technical watchmaking. 

The pocket watch design makes for easier styling on clothes, bags, and even luggage, making it a wearable statement piece rather than a traditional timepiece only. Will it ever make its way to The Bahamas? That remains to be seen. But does this collaboration have enough appeal to capture the interest of Bahamians? I believe it does. 

Whether you’re a dedicated watch enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates unique fashion accessories, this piece has generated enough conversation to keep people curious, and that alone may be its greatest success.
