Troy Police Respond to Large Crowd at Somerset Mall During Swatch Watch Release
A large crowd gathered at the Somerset Collection in Troy, Michigan, early Saturday morning for the release of a new Swatch watch, prompting a response from multiple police agencies. The event, which featured the exclusive Royal Pop pocket watch, a collaboration between Swatch and luxury brand Audemars Piguet, attracted hundreds of people. The watches, priced between $400 and $420, were officially released on the same day. Due to safety concerns arising from the size of the crowd, Swatch decided to cancel the release event and close the Troy store, along with eight other locations, for the remainder of the day. Two individuals were cited for trespassing after refusing to leave when asked by mall security. The situation was eventually brought under control without any incidents.
