The queue outside the Swatch boutique on May 16 looked like every MoonSwatch drop before it: collectors crouched on sidewalks, sneaker-resale energy, security guards counting heads. Then the doors opened, the boxes came out, and the thing inside was not a watch you strap to your wrist. It was a pocket watch. A plastic, hand-wound,

If you’ve ever missed a meeting because your phone buzzed in the wrong pocket, you already know why a watch with a vibration alarm matters. Phones make for unreliable buzzers.
