If there is one thing Donald Trump has proven time and time again with his lavish real estate projects, it’s that he knows luxury like no one else. And as we have seen over the past year, the Republican Presidential frontrunner has shown a high degree of class while running his issues-oriented campaign. Mr. Trump is now bringing that elevated level of refinement to the world of horology; that’s right, you’re first hearing it here, folks. Donald Trump is coming out with a line of high-end watches, aptly titled—you guessed it—“Trump” by Trump Watches. Manufactured by a noted Swiss company and designed by Mr. Trump himself, the 1-Million is by no means a modest piece; It boasts a 48mm case, and every bit of the watch, movement excluded, is made of 18K yellow gold. The watch is chock-full of Trump signatures, and I mean that quite literally—the dial alone is signed six times, the hands four times, and the case five times. The indices (signed) are shaped like gold bullions, and Trump’s name takes the place of 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2. The watch is not without its faults, however. The chronograph hands at the 9 and 3 o’clock sub-dials are awkwardly designed, looking like stubbly little fingers. Internally, the unmarked movement features some exciting tech exclusive to the Trump brand. The hairspring is actually fashioned out of a strand of Mr. Trump’s real* hair, noted for its impressive resistance against shocks and magnetism. Some large Swiss firms, all of which asked to go unnamed, are reportedly looking into licensing the technology. I was just reading this article from 'Worn & Wound' shaking my head in disbelief.....then I remembered the date.
My favorite part of that is that the mainspring is fashioned out of a strand of Mr. Trump's 'real' hair. Hilarious!!
Same thing happened to me 10mins ago... http://shop.hodinkee.com/collection...hodinkee-date-window-mask?variant=17246742724
Although it's a joke, it's not far fetched. I do recall he had a line of watches at some point in the past...
The real watches were a little more subdued... http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Wa...ection-Mens-Quartz-Watch/3586576/product.html BTW it seems somehow appropriate that the fake advert copied a Hublot...
Dear god help us! Now wanting to offend anyone here if they are a fan, but the man is an idiot. Successfull so that's ironic, but still an idiot.
A quick search for "Trump watch" turned up the following... ha ha http://store.marcorubio.com/products/trump-watch?variant=16313020422 (not my website, no personal interest either way)
Another hit on the "Trump Watch" search returned a 2007 post in Watch Talk Forum (WTF). Wasn't posted on April 1st, but not sure it's real... If they were real, I can't imagine they were very popular. http://jholbrook.proboards.com/thread/20167/donald-trump-watch
Of course a Trump watch should have big hands, right? (or should it be small.... oops - getting confused here).
