The sale of the limited edition Royal Pop watch by Swatch, priced at 400 euros, generated significant anticipation in Barcelona. Dozens of people had gathered at the store's entrance since early morning with the intention of purchasing one.

The queue grew exponentially throughout the morning. Faced with the large crowd and rising tension, the Swatch store decided not to open its doors to prevent potential incidents.

Ultimately, three units from the Regional Area of Operational Resources (ARRO) of the Mossos d'Esquadra were dispatched to the scene to disperse the gathered individuals. The operation proceeded without incident, aiming to maintain public order.
