Swatch Launches Royal Pop: A Colorful Pocket Watch Mashup of Royal Oak

Swatch revealed the Royal Pop, a bold BioCeramic pocket watch inspired by Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak. It features a manually wound Sistem51 movement with a 90-hour power reserve, sapphire crystals, and eight colorways. The case mimics a Royal Oak but is designed as a pocket watch worn on a color-matched calfskin lanyard, with two styles (Lépine and Savonnette) and a crown-position difference. Priced at $400 (Lépine) or $420 (Savonnette), it hits select Swatch stores May 16 with a one-per-location-per-day limit.

"White Boy Rick Makes Historic Purchase at Arts, Beats & Eats Festival"

Arts, Beats & Eats festival in Royal Oak, Michigan, kicked off with the opening of DankWay, a cannabis space where White Boy Rick, the former teen drug dealer and FBI informant, became the first customer.
