There is a old Aussie expression: "as mad as a two bob watch" So that actually means anyone buying a two bob watch would be completely mad for buying one with the expectation of it being any good (Two bob being pre decimal currency and equal to @ 20 cents)
Make of that what you will........but my take is that it seems to me to be a bit of a prophetic warning and anyone buying one of these will be absolutely barking mad to pay 20 cents let alone that much!
As an aside I didn't see any details of where it is made, but I'm betting not in the USA!

Forbes .. linking to the website for this garbage .. seems like very thinly veiled free advertising.

Uh, I don't think anyone on OF is the target audience for this watch.

there are Swiss movements and Swiss bowel movements.......I suspect that this is the latter
And is it 18 carets or 18 carrots?

I thought Trump was a " Made in America " guy and yet it states quite plainly on the dial Swiss Made. When there's money involved principles obviously go out the door.

Considering that America had a fine watch making history, you'd think that this would be an ideal opportunity to rekindle it......but don't let real actual applied idealism get in the way of a quick buck eh!

You would have thought wouldn't you.
Put you money where your mouth is as the expression goes and he might have garnered some respect regardless of politics.

I think these things usually start with someone pitching the idea to the person/brand. Whoever did that had a Swiss movement in the plan, and there’s not much time before the election to wait for another option using an American movement.

I wish they picked a different font though. I could do a better design using one of the standard fonts loaded in Word.

Either way, it looks fugly with those diamonds on the lugs.

For those of us who were well aware of the DJT branding well before he expressed political aspirations- his clothing line was equally awful. Cheaply made products (made in Cheeeeiiinaaahh) in pseudo-power suit styling sold in the clearance sections of Macy’s and TJMaxx for 85% off. He is a classic huckster of the early 20th century variety and it’s amazing people still fall for that crap. We clearly haven’t evolved in the last millennium.

Oh- and to be fair, equal and balanced- when are we going to see the Kamala mood ring or commie red blanket? Perhaps the Sleepy Joe pillow or beach chair set? Yeah, didn’t think so.

So, you can buy Trump sneakers, crypto, NFTs, AND gold watches!

I'm curious which human beings are at the center of the venn diagram of collecting those items.

You can still send him the money. He'll take it.
