@GlobalWatchClub I love it

Do you like this watch collection?

@t1llmann @anishmoonka Buyers are not the same. I think there's only an upside for AP in this matter. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone through with it It's still pretty clear the watches are not the same

@anishmoonka Am I wrong for feeling this lowers the perceived value for every owner of a real Royal Oak?

A normal Audemars Piguet watch costs around $30,000 and has a years-long waitlist. Swatch is about to sell a $400 version of it on May 16, walk-in only. The last time Swatch did this, with Omega in 2022, it sold over a million units in its first year. The MoonSwatch retailed for $260 and used plastic instead of steel, but kept the look of Omega's $8,000 Speedmaster. Morgan Stanley estimated it drove close to 20% of Swatch Group's entire 2022 profit. Nine months after launch, lines outside Swatch stores still formed every morning. Audemars Piguet makes only 53,000 watches a year. The Royal Oak alone accounts for 88% of their roughly $2.9 billion in 2025 revenue, putting AP third among Swiss watch brands behind only Rolex and Cartier. Steel Royal Oaks retail from $20,000 to $40,000 and trade for $45,000 to $100,000 on the resale market. The waitlist for new buyers at AP boutiques runs twelve to twenty-four months. Two things make this collab different. First, Audemars Piguet doesn't share a parent company with Swatch the way Omega and Blancpain do. With those earlier partners, all the profit stayed inside one corporate family. With AP, real money flows to an outside company for every unit sold. Second, Swatch needs this. Their profit per dollar of sales went from 15 cents in 2023 to under 5 cents in 2024, a 75% drop from $1.3 billion to $335 million. China was the main reason. If the $300-$500 Royal Pop sells anywhere near MoonSwatch numbers in year one, the volume works out to around twenty times AP's entire annual production, at less than 1% of what AP usually charges. AP's high-end watches stay rare and expensive. Swatch gets the hit it needs.

@F1 @HaasF1Team Here we go

Following discussions between FIA, F1 and the Miami promoter, the decision has been taken to move the start of Sunday's Miami Grand Prix to 13:00 local time in Miami due to the weather forecast that is expected to bring heavier rainstorms later in the afternoon, close to the original planned race start time #F1 #MiamiGP

@BruceBarbosa88 8% em 2 anos. Bold

Bolsa na máxima histórica. 193 mil pontos. Dólar a R$5,07. Mínima do ano. Sabe quem ganhou dinheiro? O estrangeiro. Janeiro de 2026 foi o MAIOR fluxo mensal de capital estrangeiro da história da bolsa brasileira. Sabe quem perdeu? Você. Porque enquanto o gringo comprava, o brasileiro vendia. Resgatou fundo de ação. Migrou pra renda fixa. Comprou dólar a R$6,30 com medo do Lula. Hoje o dólar tá R$5,07. Você perdeu 19% só na conversão. E a bolsa? Subiu 34% em 2025. Mais 17% em 2026. Em 15 meses: 57% de alta. Quanto seu CDB rendeu no mesmo período? 22%. Você ficou pra trás 35 pontos percentuais. Em real. Não em dólar. E agora vem a parte ruim: temos eleição em outubro. Se Lula vence sem ajuste fiscal: bolsa devolve metade da alta, dólar volta pra R$6. Se a oposição vence com ajuste crível: CDI cai pra 8% em 2 anos, e o dinheiro que tá parado na renda fixa MIGRA pra bolsa. R$2 trilhões procurando ação. O maior bull market da história do Brasil pode estar a 192 dias de distância. Ou a maior ressaca. Você tá preparado pros dois cenários? A maioria não tá. Tá com 90% em renda fixa achando que tá seguro. Esqueceu que renda fixa em país que imprime dinheiro é a forma mais lenta de ficar pobre. Outubro vai separar quem entendeu o jogo de quem assistiu da arquibancada. Em qual lado você quer estar? brucebarbosa .com.br

@baldassarreted IWC Mark XX

The Sinn 556 I has become a standout within the growing category of everyday watches, built around a straightforward approach that prioritizes clarity and durability. The 38.5mm steel case is paired with a minimal black dial and time-and-date layout that keeps the design focused. Backed by 200 meters of water resistance and powered by the SW200-1 automatic movement, it’s a streamlined design and versatile specs continue to make this piece a compelling GADA contender. What’s your go-to everyday watch right now?

@tim_aggett @baldassarreted Hate that so much

@baldassarreted Shame about the Cyclops though

The importance of the Rolex Datejust on the impact of watchmaking can’t be understated. At its historic debut in 1945, it was the first automatic mechanical chronometer-certified watch, and the very first to feature a date complication that automatically adjusted at midnight. Today, we’re taking a look at a modern expression of one of the most recognized watch designs of all time with the Datejust Ref. 126234. At 36mm, this iteration is distinguished by its fluted bezel and electroplated silver dial, and, of course, features the iconic cyclops date window at three o’clock. The manufacture Superlative Chronometer Certified caliber 3235 within is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers for added resilience and accuracy, and has a power reserve of 70 hours. Additionally, this watch here is paired with the signature three-link Oyster bracelet, and, of course, is water resistant 100 meters for added versatility. #Rolex #Watches #WatchCommunity

What would be the third watch you add to this collection? I'm thinking maybe a Reverso

@VinnyLingham China pushing yuan use ≠ gold backing. More gold reserves don’t mean a gold standard. The dollar isn’t “backed” by Treasuries but by institutions and liquidity. $10k gold is hype, not base-case macro.

Let me spell this out for everyone: The fact that China wants the world to use the Yuan as the reserve currency, and not the US Dollar, is de facto signaling that it will be backing the Yuan with Physical Gold. China's (and Russia's) position is that the US Dollar is backed by US Treasuries and by a large and growing deficit ($2 trillion/year and climbing), which results in high inflation and, eventually, a worthless currency. Gold is the only neutral reserve asset in the world that has the scale to back fiat currencies. This is the final battleground to determine who gets to print the world's reserve fiat currency, with gold being the world's reserve asset. Gold will be $10,000/oz by the end of next year

@aaron0505 @baldassarreted This, for sure

@baldassarreted This or Tudor black bay 39?

Another great example of Grand Seiko’s strength in crafting intricate dials inspired by the natural world, the SLGA019G “Lake Suwa” finds its inspiration in the surface of the waves not far from the Shinshu Watch Studio. Measuring a versatile 40mm in titanium, the SLGA019 is positioned within the brand’s Evolution 9 collection and powered by the 9RA2 Spring Drie caliber with a power reserve of 120 hours. Let us know what your favorite Grand Seiko dial is in the comments! #GrandSeiko #Watches #WatchCommunity

Over coffee this morning my wife said, “Did you hear anything I just said?” I thought to myself, “That’s an odd way to start a conversation.”

@RjeyTech Same here. It’s insane how fast I’m draining

@DeanTTraining Barbell Squats are for sure top1 into making me feel like I had a true challenge on that session

Great reasons to do Barbell Squats, Bench, and Deadlifts: 1) You genuinely enjoy them…enjoyment increases adherence, effort, and long-term progress 2) You’re training for a competition where these exact lifts are the standard of performance 3) Your equipment is limited and, as a result, these lifts are the best choice to help you reach your goals most efficiently/effectively Terrible reasons to do Barbell Squats, Bench, and Deadlifts: 1) You have access to high-quality machines that fit your structure perfectly and your goals are general strength/health/physique enhancement….but you still force yourself to do these lifts anyway 2) Some random guy online said they’re “MUST-DO foundational movements” and claimed you’ll “miss your stabilizer muscles” if you don’t do them
