Trump's time has come
Business Standard|October 12, 2024
Time waits for no man. But it seems former US President Donald Trump, who is running for a second term, is determined to make his mark on every minute. The maverick Republican presidential candidate recently unveiled a collection of luxury timepieces designed to make his diehard supporters' hearts tick a little faster.
SANDEEP GOYAL

Leading the collection is the $100,000 Trump Victory Tourbillon, a high-end timepiece designed to catch eyes -- and wallets. Adorned with 122 diamonds and Mr Trump's name prominently displayed on the dial, this watch is as flashy as a Mar-a-Lago New Year's party. Only 147 of these handcrafted pieces will be produced, each one numbered, and featuring 200 grams of 18-karat gold. Those with deep pockets have the option of picking between black, gold, and rose gold colourways. And yes, each timepiece comes with two case backs -- one engraved with a personalised thank-you message from Mr Trump, and the other a clear glass back showcasing the intricate mechanics.
