Trump & Co.

Lume Plotters ·

2024/10/08

Yep. Well, Monsieur Donald J. Trump has a watch line. Well kind of. Apparently he licensed his name and likeness to be used on a watch. And quoting the man himself, “It’s the greatest watch ever. Period. In the history of humanity.” Not really, he didn’t say that, but I assume he will, just give him some time. He did say “I love gold, I love diamonds”, so that gives you a bearing on what these watches will look like. Anyways, without further ado, let’s discuss!Give us a follow, and feel free ...

Hodinkee, our unrequited love.
