A men’s fashion expert has shared his opinion on Donald Trump’s gold watch collection, calling it a “poor quality” product.
The former president announced Thursday that he will sell a series of limited-edition gold- and diamond-encrusted watches bearing his name.
Trump said on the Truth Social platform that “the official Trump watch collection is here, and these watches are really special: you are going to love them.”
The range of watches, including the Trump Victory Tourbillon watches, will sell from $499 to $100,000, and each customer will receive a letter signed by the presidential candidate.
However, men’s fashion expert Derek Guy, who goes by his username @dieworkwear and has more than 1.1 million followers, was not impressed.
The Republican activist ended his announcement by saying, “It’s Trump’s time.”
Trump said each Trump Victory Tourbillon watch will be numbered (he owns the No. 1 watch) and is a “true collector’s item… owning one puts you in a very exclusive club.”
The former president described the Trump Victory Tourbillon Watch: “This is not just any watch, it is one of the best watches made.”
Guy reposted Trump’s promotional video and commented that the watches were priced so high solely because of Trump’s attachment, rather than the quality.
He wrote: ‘I don’t understand how someone can do this to their followers. This crappy $100,000 watch is a halo product to sell even crappier $500 and $800 non-Swiss steel and gold plated watches with a cheap automatic movement.
They take you for a fool. The goal here is simply to make money.”
In his announcement, the former president described the Trump Victory Tourbillon Watch as “not just any watch, it is one of the best watches made,” of which there will only be 147 units.

The watch contains almost 200 grams of gold and “more than 100 real diamonds,” he adds: “That’s a lot of diamonds.” I love gold, I love diamonds, we all do.’
Guy said, “$100,000 for a move as smooth as the brain that buys this absurd thing.”

Other critics, such as MSNBC host Willie Geist, have said, “It’s getting very expensive to be a Donald Trump supporter.”
The announcement of his new line of watches comes days after he began selling limited-edition silver medallions called ‘Trump Coins’ for $100, Trump said in a video message posted on Truth Social.
The former president referred to the coins as a “true symbol of American greatness” and a selection of his watches as “a symbol of determination.”
The range of watches, including the Trump Victory Tourbillon, will sell from $499 to $100,000.
The website, in an effort to deter allegations of monetization by his campaign, clearly states that the watches are not “designed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by Donald J. Trump.”
