The Swatch Irony Body and Soul
I am a big fan of Swatch, so I’m happy to learn that they are releasing a new mechanical watch. This one has a window on both the front and back so you can see the inner workings.
Say hello to the Swatch Irony Automatic “Body and Soul”. It’s a skeletonized mechanical watch where both front and back are clear to allow an unobstructed view of the ticking heart inside.
It only shows the time (no date, month or day of the week), but it’s a mechanical watch for less than 200 bucks.
What’s remarkable about that? I buy excellent mechanical watches online for years (mostly Seiko) for no more then $35!

I bought the more expensive version in Europe, with the hours marked, and as you said, got it wet (rain!) and the crown eventually froze and broke off. what a bummer. i really liked my watch. Tried to get it fixed where I live by Swatch in the US, they would not help me. Don’t think I’ll be buying another one.
