The watch game can be trickier to navigate than the sneaker game. There are ultra-limited releases with wrist watches, like there are retro Jordans, and just like sneakers, watchmakers will collaborate with outside parties. What’s even rarer is a collaboration between the manufacturers themselves, especially when the two brands are targeting completely different demographics. Think Nike and Louis Vuitton joining forces. In that same vein, two Swiss watch brands, Audemars Piguet and Swatch, are dropping a collaborative pocket watch dubbed the Royal Pop.
