Wearing your Swatch x AP Royal Pop daily: 5 stylish ways

One watch, many uses

The Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop was designed as a modern pocket watch. But its octagonal design, compact dimensions and contained weight make it an extremely versatile piece. Here are 5 ways to integrate it into your daily life.

1. On the wrist, with a premium strap

The most natural and widespread use. A Pop's Straps high-density silicone strap turns your Royal Pop into a wristwatch, with no modification to the original piece. The folding clasp brings the comfort of a high-end watch.

2. As a pendant

With its original cord, the Royal Pop also wears as a short necklace. Ideal for monochrome outfits where the watch becomes the only accessory. Pick a contrasting color with your top for a jewelry effect.

3. Clipped to a belt or bag

Very street, this use recalls the gousset watches of the 90s. A discreet metal clip is enough. The Royal Pop becomes an assumed pocket accessory, almost utilitarian.

4. Stacked with other pieces

Nothing stops you from wearing a Royal Pop on one wrist and another watch on the other, or combining it with bead bracelets, rings or a necklace. Stack culture at its fullest.

5. In a showcase, as a collector's object

For collectors, the Royal Pop is also a beautiful object to display. With its original packaging, it takes its place in a showcase, alongside a premium figurine or design object.

Whatever the use, the important thing is to take it out of the box and enjoy it.Choose your strap.
