Swatch has closed its stores in cities across the UK after hundreds of people queued outside branches eager to buy a new limited edition watch.
The Swiss firm said it would not open, external its branches in London “in light of safety considerations for both our customers and our staff”.
Stores in Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield will also remain closed with a man arrested in Cardiff.
The firm had been due to launch its new Royal Pop pocket watch collaboration with luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet, with eight models priced from £335.
However the watch has been put on resale online for up to £16,000.
