A recent collaboration between Swatch and Audemars Piguet, dubbed the Royal Pop collection, has sparked significant chaos across the United States, especially at the Topanga Westfield mall in Los Angeles. Hundreds of eager shoppers began lining up outside the mall on Friday night, hoping to purchase one of the eight unique pocket watches, which retail for about $400. However, the demand was so high that the Los Angeles Police Department had to turn away many customers due to limited stock. Reports indicate that resellers are listing these watches on platforms like eBay for prices as high as $4,000, leading to speculation about their resale value. The situation escalated to the point where Swatch had to close several of its stores nationwide, including locations in New York City, Houston, and Orlando, to ensure safety for both customers and staff. Swatch emphasized that the Royal Pop Collection is not a limited edition and will be available for several months, urging customers not to rush to stores in large numbers. Videos circulating on social media depict the overwhelming crowds and the ensuing chaos at various locations.
