KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — Malaysian authorities did not just seize Swatch watches bearing the wording “LGBT” — lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender — but had actually also seized watches from the 2023 Pride collection which do not carry it, the Swiss watch company has said.
“In relation to the recently published news stating that all confiscated Swatch watches bear LGBT wording, Swatch Malaysia does not agree with the statement. Based on Swatch's website, its 2023 Pride collection features six watches in the individual colours of the LGBT movement's six-striped Pride Flag, with these watches coming with two “rainbow loops” which form the Pride Flag when the loops are placed together. These six designs each have a word on its minute hand to explain the meaning of each coloured stripe in the Pride Flag, but do not carry the LGBT wording.
While Malaysian authorities had so far cited alleged “LGBT” wording on Swatch watches to justify the seizure, Swatch has been insisting that not all of the Swatch watches seized in Malaysia had LGBT wording.that the Home Ministry had seized 172 Swatch watches from 11 shopping malls in Malaysia from May 13 to May 15, with the seized watches actually being of nine different designs.
