Moment Swatch worker confronts angry crowd waiting to buy £335 watches

Swatch were forced to close stores and halt the release of their £335 limited edition Audemars Piguet pocket watch yesterday after stampedes and fights broke out.People across the world camped outside Swatch stores for several nights to get their hands on the 'Royal Pop' timepieces, made in collaboration with the luxury watchmaker whose watches typically start at £15,000.However, they were left disappointed and empty-handed after Swatch employees announced over megaphones stores would not be opening and would remain closed for the day, seemingly unsure of how to deal with the high demand and hysteria.In London's Battersea Power Station, police arrived with K9s after crowds stormed past security guards toward the shop, with claims fights broke out.The Met also descended on Westfield in White City with police dogs this morning after people refused to leave the shopping centre, despite the launch cancellation, and camped outside the Swatch store for another night.
