US: Long Lines and Chaos Hit Swatch Stores Over Royal Pop Launch 2

Long lines formed outside Swatch stores across the globe ahead of Saturday's launch of the Royal Pop, a $400–420 pocket watch collaboration with high-end Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet. At least 19 U.S. locations were affected, including the SoHo store in New York City. New York emerged as one of the worst flashpoints: at Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island, cops appeared to break out pepper spray to push back surging crowds, while hundreds of shoppers stormed Times Square and SoHo locations, leading to at least one arrest, according to the NYPD. Swatch eventually shut the stores down over public safety concerns.

Australia: Rainbows Form Over Crashing Waves

On April 12, 2026, in Australia, a video recorded waves rolling along a rocky coastline under bright sunlight. Blue ocean water moved up and down against the rocks as sea spray filled the air. As sunlight passed through the mist above the waves, a colorful rainbow appeared over the ocean. Soon afterward, another incoming wave created a second rainbow nearby. The scene looked especially vivid because of the clear weather and high visibility along the coast. Rainbows forming directly above moving sea waves are not commonly seen.
