Explore the controversial 'Trump watch' priced at $100k, as WatchProSite members debate its design, value, and impact on luxury horology. A unique intersection of politics and timepieces.

In a departure from traditional haute horlogerie discussions, 'The Swiss guy' introduces a polarizing timepiece that has ignited considerable debate within the WatchProSite community. This article explores the 'Trump watch,' a limited-edition offering priced at USD 100,000, and the community's diverse reactions to its design and perceived value. 'The Swiss guy's' post, while presented with humor, prompts a deeper look into the intersection of political iconography and luxury watchmaking.

Keeping the thread up, though locked, because it's horological (I know, I know). If anyone wants any of the political replies deleted, please PM me with the specifics. Happy to oblige.

Key Points from the Discussion

The watch's design is widely perceived as lacking the quality expected of a six-figure timepiece, with one member likening its appearance to a 'cheapo $15 Ali Express model.'
The target demographic for such a watch is characterized as individuals who are financially well-off, politically aligned with Trump, and potentially lacking discernment for high-quality horology.
The introduction of politically themed watches, particularly this specific model, is seen by some as potentially detrimental to the public image of the watch movement or maker involved.
The thread also features humorous and satirical takes on the watch, suggesting it could be an 'appropriate gift' for someone you have strong, perhaps negative, feelings about.

Olivier Mory tourbillon movements

are now everywhere, it seems. Not sure this particular watch adds a good public image to this movement/maker though

My thoughts exactly. I would not want my cost conscious product to be perceived as a “scam” like the rest of this particular watch line.
