Confirmed: President Trump’s Mystery Desk Clock Came From Rolex
President Trump recently received a unique desk clock from Rolex, confirmed to have been presented during a visit from Swiss business leaders aimed at strengthening U.S.-Swiss relations. The clock, described in a letter from Rolex's CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour as a “modest, refined expression of traditional Swiss watchmaking,” symbolizes the enduring ties between the two nations. It features a design reminiscent of a Datejust model, complete with a fluted bezel, green dial, and a cyclops lens for magnifying the date. The meeting, attended by prominent Swiss executives, was not focused on negotiating trade agreements but rather on promoting economic relations amidst a significant tariff imposed by the U.S. on Swiss imports, including watches. The executives expressed hope that the clock would serve as a reminder of the mutual respect and fruitful exchanges between the countries, as they seek to enhance their business ties.
