Overview

  • Tim and Melanie Petit purchased a $640 limited-edition Trump watch that arrived with a typo, reading 'RUMP' instead of 'TRUMP.'
  • The watch was part of the pink Inauguration First Lady collection, marketed as a premium collectible with only 250 units produced.
  • After receiving no initial response from Trump Watches about the issue, the couple turned to local NBC affiliate WJAR for help.
  • Following media coverage, Trump Watches agreed to replace the defective watch and offered the couple an $800 coupon as compensation.
  • Trump Watches operates independently under a licensing agreement using Donald Trump’s name and likeness, separate from the Trump Organization.
