Plenty of celebrities and public figures have lent their name to watch collections over the years — the latest one? Donald Trump. Trump has just introduced a new line of watches, known as the ‘Official Trump Watch Collection.’ The most expensive timepiece in this collection costs $100,000, while the cheapest piece retails at $499.

For starters, the $100,000 timepiece comes with an 18k gold casing, complemented with a stylish bezel that’s fitted with 122 diamonds. Apart from that, the watch also features a tourbillion for a more modern finish.

It’s worthwhile to note that the high-end tourbillion watch is available in different dial options; a yellow dial, a rose dial, and a black dial. In terms of design, this timepiece has a certain gold styling, which is associated with Donald Trump. 147 pieces of the $100,000 watch, the Trump Victory Turbillion, will be rolled out into the market, and every piece will be numbered.

Moreover, the most affordable model, ‘Fight Fight Fight,’ is available in both a silver casing and gold casing. While the gold and silver casing creates a distinction between the main options, the cheapest Trump watch also comes with a deep red dial and black dial.

This collection of watches is not the first line of lavish products that have been launched by Donald Trump. Earlier this year, he launched a line of sneakers, featuring a pair of kicks with gold hues, popularly known as ‘Never Surrender’ sneakers. Besides that, he also unveiled around 100 silver coins with his face.

The company behind the ‘Official Trump Watch Collection’ has a paid license agreement with the Republican candidate, which allows the entity to redistribute watches using Trump’s name.

Breitling honors Scott Carpenter with platinum watch
Orbital legacy: Breitling's platinum tribute to space exploration pioneer
Breitling scott carpenter platinum watch

Sixty-three years after Scott Carpenter circled Earth, a custom Breitling Navitimer sat on his wrist. The Swiss maker now honors him with a platinum watch, which has a limited run. The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary observes the American pilot's 100th birthday—it also recalls the story of the first Swiss watch to leave Earth's air.

On May 24, 1962, Carpenter became the second American to circle Earth. He flew as part of NASA's Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. A special Navitimer was on his wrist. Breitling altered it for space travel. The work began with a personal letter from Carpenter—he requested specific changes. He wanted a wider bezel for gloved hands and a stretch metal band for his space suit. Most notably, he asked for a 24-hour dial. In orbit, sunrise and sunset happen every 90 minutes. A regular 12-hour display does not show time well there.

Watch straps can be an affordable way to expand a smaller watch collection. A good quality strap can be found for under $20, and will give a timepiece a completely different look. For example, I have a brown leather strap on the vintage Oyster Perpetual I use as a daily driver, but a quick switch to a black strap makes it look like a completely different timepiece.

However, there are some rules regarding your watch’s wrist strap. Breaking said rules can make using the watch tricky and could leave you looking a little silly in some circumstances. Don’t worry, though—it’s all pretty simple. Here’s a handy guide that should get you through the basics.
