Swiss watchmaker Swatch Group has filed a lawsuit against the Malaysian government for confiscating rainbow-colored watches that celebrate LGBTQ rights, in an act the company says has damaged its reputation.
The lawsuit, filed on June 24 at the Kuala Lumpur high court, was first reported on Monday by the Malay Mail, a Malaysian news website. Most of the seized watches, which have a combined retail value of 64,795 ringgit , did not contain the"LGBTQ" lettering, Swatch said.
