Obviously, the release of the MoonSwatch, inspired by the famous Speedmaster Moonwatch and available in around ten models, was eagerly awaited this Saturday, March 26th. Maybe even a little too much.

There were so many people in front of the Swatch Store in Cap 3000 that it did not open at 10 a.m. as planned and was expected to remain closed all day.
The disappointment is great, as we have seen on social networks.
The Swatch Cap3000 store in Saint Laurent du Var does not open its doors today.
Thanks to the idiots who came to resell because they made a wrong event.

And with good reason, the jewel is inspired by one of the most famous watches in the world. Omega and Swatch surprised everyone with this unprecedented collaboration for €250, while the “Professional” version of the Speedmaster Moonwatch is worth €6,300.
Amateurs were also present in Cannes and Antibes this Saturday.

Ditto in several cities in France, such as Paris. According to witness statements, some stationed themselves in front of the Swatch Stores in the dark, others even decided to sleep there.
