Former President Donald Trump is promoting watches branded with his name, stating that they would make great Christmas gifts. The watches, listed on a vendor website, range in price from $499 to $100,000. The website uses Trump’s name, image, and likeness under a paid license agreement with TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC. The watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by Trump or The Trump Organization. Despite the Trump campaign spokesperson referring questions to the Trump Organization, neither party has commented on the business endeavor.
The website’s FAQ section states that the watches are official and include a replica of Trump’s signature. Democrats have criticized Trump’s focus on his business ventures, including the sale of high-priced watches. The watches are said to be made with Swiss materials, emphasizing Trump’s support for American-made products.
This is not the first time Trump has promoted products with his name, image, and likeness, including sneakers, NFT trading cards, Bibles, and a crypto platform launched by Trump family members. Trump’s involvement in business ventures while campaigning for the White House has drawn criticism from the opposition party. The watches are the latest in a series of products promoted by Trump and are aimed at his supporters who are willing to spend on luxury items branded with his name.
