What to watch

When Trump's $100k Watch Outshines His Politics (Just Kidding!)

Donald Trump makes headlines again, but it's not just for his political antics anymore—it's all about that lavish watch! 🕒💰

Donald Trump is back to steal headlines—who would have thought his $100,000 watch would be the talk of the town? While his recent political comeback is nothing short of astounding, one can't help but chuckle at how a luxury Swiss-made timepiece has taken a back seat on the retail front. According to reports, there are more reasons than just his comeback for this slow-selling accessory. Maybe the price tag has everyone shaking their heads or perhaps fashion enthusiasts are more intrigued by the sparkle of New York's latest jewelry exhibits instead.

Speaking of jewelry, New York City will soon be hosting an exciting event that showcases the eclectic world of adornment. From the dazzling allure of peridot stones to the historical significance of coral, NYC Jewelry Week 2024 promises to be a treasure trove of knowledge and visual wonders. Online talks will be the highlight, offering deep dives into jewelry history, exclusive designer interviews, and even virtual museum tours that aspiring jewelry aficionados won't want to miss. When politics and jewelry collide, you end up with a world of eye-catching events—does it get any better?

In a humorous twist of fate, it appears that while Trump’s watch may be ticking slowly, the panache of NYC's jewelry scene is racing ahead. Could it be that people are more inclined to invest in the rich history of gemstones rather than a controversial timepiece? Only time will tell. It's a curious notion how something so luxurious can swiftly become a conversation starter—or a punchline, depending on who you ask!

To top it all off, did you know that the most expensive watch ever sold at auction was a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime, fetching an incredible $31 million? And here's another fun fact: peridot, this gem that's getting its moment in the spotlight, is considered the gem of the sun and has been worn by queens throughout history! So whether you're in the market for a watch or a wonderful new gemstone, it seems jewelry still holds a timeless allure that no political comeback can overshadow.
