Over a dozen Swatch stores have been closed over safety concerns amid the affordable watch brand’s collaboration with luxury maker Audemars Piguet.
The partnership was announced earlier this week, drawing the attention of watch lovers eager to get their hands on an affordable Audemars Piguet model. Founded in 1875, the brand typically sells watches from $20,000 to well over $1 million each, with its signature stainless steel Royal Oak models starting at $30,000.
