Swatch halts the release of a limited edition pocket watch following reports of stampedes and fights at or near stores. Multiple reports say the company closes stores and stops distribution after crowds became unruly during the launch. Police are reported to be called in to help control crowds, including use of police dogs in one account, as people attempt to access the watches. The product is described as a Swatch item priced at about £335 and linked in the coverage to a luxury Swiss brand, with some reports noting that similar high-end timepieces typically sell for much higher prices. Sources agree that the immediate response includes stopping the release and closing stores as a precaution. The reports characterize the situation as chaotic, with crowds pressing in and altercations occurring, prompting police intervention. No further details about injuries, arrests, or the exact location and number of incidents are provided in the supplied excerpts.
