Former President Donald Trump pushed $100,000 watches on the same day his wife Melania Trump told Fox News people are struggling to afford basic necessities.

      Dude if someone told me this was a modded Seiko 5 with a “tourbillion” movement in it I would 100% believe it.

          It’s essentially a fancy watch spring mechanism. So the open spot on the bottom of the dial is the tourbillion as it unwinds it rotates around.

              Might be automatic. That way the movement of the arm winds it

                the movement of the arm winds it

                That explains why Trump fails his arms around during his rambling speeches.

              Generally yes, like the other reply said it might be automatic and self winding. It’s a style of mechanical watch though so something somehow has to tension the spring that makes the watch run.

        Sadly it only has a fluxdepacitor. It’s like a flux capacitor but it resists moving in time instead.
