CNN tracked Trump’s watch to a building in Sheridan, Wyoming—and found strange ties to a “male enhancement honey” company with a similar name.
Last month, Donald Trump announced that he was selling limited-edition, gaudy watches ranging from $499 to the bargain price of $100,000, bragging about their Swiss-made precision.
But a CNN investigation traced the watches’ origin to a shopping center in remote Sheridan, Wyoming, where TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, the company behind the timepieces, is based. There’s no indication that a watch company is located at the building listed at the address, only a daycare. Its neighbors include an H&R Block, a Wendy’s, and a “vape and hemp smoke shop.”
CNN couldn’t find the people behind the company either, because the business’s location allows it to legally hide those details from the public. The news network found that knocking on the door of the business’s supposed address didn’t answer those questions. Interestingly, the limited liability corporation behind Trump’s infamous gold sneakers is also based at the address, along with other random businesses. The watch company was registered on July 29, only two months before Trump announced the watch line.

Trump fanatics with a lot of money. Which if even one person buys one (And Im sure someone has) The entire charade becomes worth it.
My money is on it being a way to get around political donation limits - if you’re buying a product, you aren’t donating. Elon can buy a handful of these to give out to his buddies, and it doesn’t count as donating a million dollars to Trump’s campaign.
If the business were actually about selling watches (which like you said, it isn’t) it would still make sense to have an extremely expensive model as a sales tactic so that the affordable ones seem more valuable. Another example of this is the $10,000 solid gold Apple Watch. Obviously they don’t expect to sell many watches at that price when the battery is sealed into the device and it’s guaranteed to fail after a few years, but it exists just to make the normal models seem fancy by proxy.

Appliance stores uses that tactic all the time, the 2000 fridge doesn’t look at expensive when is side to side with a 10000 one.
Cops have better things to do than shutting down obvious money laundering enterprises - like, shaking down obvious money laundering enterprises for a cut of the action.
I lived in Daytona Beach a few years ago, and one day I noticed that a small store had opened up that sold nothing but Super-Whisks, plastic whisks that cost $1 each. They were never open (a hand-written sign said the nail salon next door had a couple of whisks if you wanted one) and they were a quarter of a mile from a Publix and three dollar stores, all of which also sold $1 plastic whisks, so they weren’t exactly satisfying an unmet demand. The most ridiculously obvious money laundry I’ve ever seen and yet they were never investigated by anyone.
