MANILA, Philippines - Watch experts and avid collectors rave about Swatch’s latest breakthrough timepiece:
“I am honored to be part of this milestone in watchmaking. This just shows that a watch does not need to be expensive to produce revolutionary pieces.” — Chris Lichauco, watch collector and VP operations, Maynilad.
“The event was fantastically organized and the Sistem51 is certainly a true breakthrough in watchmaking innovations!” —Raymond John Moreno, watch collector and director, Real Estate Investments Kaizen International Research Organization
“I ended up buying all colors, one at a time, not just because of the free jacket, but upon seeing how nice they all looked when worn by other people during the event. The last time I wore a Swatch was decades ago, with the PopSwatch. The Sistem51 is such a fun watch, both in a nostalgic sense and because of its cool and new design. I was pleasantly surprised at how great it looked and felt on the wrist, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I wear it more than a couple of times a week.” – Tomas Meneses, watch collector and president, Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Products, Inc.
“The Swatch event’s effort to recognize the local watch hobbyist community was a great way to bring the brand closer to people who are very passionate about watches. The Sistem51 was embraced by even seasoned watch collectors and was welcomed with open arms by the hobbyist community after the event.” – Raffy David, watch collector and director, Pilipinas Teleserv, Inc.
“Swatch has a game-changer with their Sistem51; love the funky designs with really good prive, enough to entice just about everyone in the wonderful world of horology!” — Jerome Garrido, watch collector and managing director, Codeworks.ph
“I am very impressed with the design and affordability of Sistem51, especially since it’s an automatic watch. I love that the back side is totally visible, we get to appreciate the mechanical aspect of the design.” — Daphne Oseña-Paez, TV host, producer and businesswoman
“51 parts and only 1 screw? The Sistem51 is phenomenal!” — J. Anton Mendoza, architect and interior designer
