Swatch Group AG, the world’s largest watchmaker, said it’s not working with Apple Inc. on a smartwatch, damping speculation that boosted the shares as much as 4.2 percent, the most in five months.
VentureBeat yesterday reported that Apple and Swatch are working together to release a line of watches in various brands, styles and prices, citing a person familiar with the matter it didn’t name. Swatch shares pared gains after the denial.
