A Very Stable Horological Genius Atelier

Post by Nuvolari » September 26th 2024, 11:03am

The specific non-political question here is:

If Eyal could make a buck off dummies - how hard could it possibly be to make a bigger buck of richer dummies? Or perhaps simply dumber dummies who are rich?

Many people have said it’s the most amazing thing since the sun dial. And the gold is extra goldy - like the goldiest thing since that bear-training blonde girl with the cured salmon. It’s a golden gold that glows boldly, just so goldfully, the likes of which no one has seen before and it’s, really, a lotta fun.

Interestingly, after spending many long minutes researching a hand-wound tourbillon movement with a 105 hour power reserve (typing "105 hour power reserve tourbillon movement" into google, I came across several pieces of info. The first was from the Swiss company Delma, which is offering a tourby movement watch for about 13 grand US. The architecture of the movement looks a lot like the Trump watch, with the same power reserve and beat rate.

Also, there was a posting at a Blog to Wartche, by REL Adams his-own-self, about a company called BA111OD--go figure--with similar specs to the Trump watch, but with slightly different architecture, for around five grand.

So, it appears that Mr. Trump actually sourced his tourbillon movements from a non-Chinese manufacture. Possibly it was Delma who produced these watches under contract. which means that, with all that gold and bespoke movement, they might actually be somewhat worth their cost.

Great intel, Conj!

<<… they might actually be somewhat worth their cost…>>

I suspect that could prove true once the new dial is installed and all the horrible tiny worthless diamonds are removed.

Perhaps consumers might also want to consider something a little more liberal?

Supplies are limited, so call now! The troubled soon-to-be-former New York Mayor is standing by…

Trump’s “Vastly Overpriced” $100,000 “Swiss Watch” Is Probably Made in China, Experts Say

The former president's new timepieces are the laughingstock of watch aficionados, who cast doubt on their true origins — "as ersatz as the man himself."
