So, let’s unpack this, shall we? The Gucci site itself, it’s all about the Italian craftsmanship, the leather, the *design*. No mention of tiny gears and escapements ticking away inside your billfold. Which makes sense, honestly. You don’t need a perpetual calendar in your wallet, unless you *really* hate forgetting the date.
Then you got FARFETCH, throwing up Gucci wallets and billfolds – express shipping, free returns (thank goodness for those safety nets, amiright?) – but still, nothing hinting at any horological wizardry hidden within.
Okay, okay, so maybe this is a misunderstanding. Maybe someone got their wires crossed. I see info about *Gucci watches* and their movements. Some are Swiss-made, some…aren’t. That seems to be the breakdown. It appears some people are asking if Gucci watches have Swiss movement. The answer is not all of them are.
So, could someone be confusing “Gucci” with “Swiss movement” because they’re both luxury things? Possible! People do dumber things all the time. (No offense to anyone who thought this was a real thing.) It’s kinda like when people think all expensive cars are Italian… when some are German, some are British, etc.
Now, *imagine*, just for a second, a wallet with a Swiss movement. What would it even *do*? Count your cash for you? Automatically organize your receipts? Eject expired credit cards with a satisfying *thunk*? Actually, the credit card ejector thing? That’s not a bad idea… Someone should totally patent that. I might have to look into that!
But seriously, back to reality. I think, and this is just my humble opinion, that the idea of a “Swiss Movement Gucci Wallet” is a beautiful, albeit misguided, dream. Maybe it’s a metaphor. Like, “this wallet is so well-made, it’s as precise as a Swiss watch!” Or maybe it’s just a typo and someone meant to say, like, “Gucci Wallet *to go with my* Swiss Movement Watch.”
