An investigation into the origins of former President Donald Trump’s luxury “Swiss-made” watch has taken an unexpected twist, leading reporters to a Wyoming retailer specializing in “Male Enhancement” honey laced with Viagra. The spokesperson for the honey company has reportedly been instructed to remain silent until after Election Day.
The probe, conducted by CNN, sought to trace the origins of Trump’s $100,000 watch. Instead of finding Swiss craftsmanship, the investigation uncovered a Wyoming shopping center filled with businesses ranging from high-end watch retailers to purveyors of “enhanced” honey products. Among them were TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC and the Royal Honey Shop, which markets itself as The Best Honey On Earth LLC on social media.
CNN reported that the Royal Honey Shop spokesperson, Vladimir Dmitriev, emphasized that the honey seller was “a highly reputable company,” but when pressed with further questions, he refused to provide any detailed responses.
“A spokesperson for the honey seller, Vladimir Dmitriev, called it ‘a highly reputable company,’ but declined to respond to a list of questions,” CNN stated in its report. Dmitriev further noted, “We’ve received direction from our leadership in the US not to engage with any news agencies (specifically CNN) until after November 5th,” which notably coincides with Election Day.
Although the investigation did not find direct evidence linking Trump to the honey company, the story’s scope grew as investigators examined the broader network of businesses operating from the Wyoming address.
Reporters Steve Contorno and Scott Glover from CNN discovered that TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, the company listed as the seller of Trump’s luxury watch, shared its address with the Royal Honey Shop and several other businesses. One such business reportedly sells Trump-themed sneakers through a licensing deal with the Republican nominee’s campaign.
The Royal Honey Shop, operating under the official name Kingdom Honey LLC, markets a variety of male enhancement products, including its gold-wrapped Royal Honey VIP, Black Bull Honey, and Hard Steel Honey. These products promise “instant vigor with a single sachet” and have caught the attention of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has issued warnings about certain Royal Honey products containing the active ingredient found in Viagra, cautioning consumers about potential interactions with other medications.
Both TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC and Kingdom Honey LLC have an intriguing connection—both companies were organized by Andrew Pierce, a specialist in creating anonymous companies designed to keep personal details hidden from public records. This organizational approach is common for many businesses seeking privacy, according to state documents reviewed by CNN.
Carol Mendelsohn, the chief marketing officer for Andrew Pierce’s firm, responded to CNN’s inquiries by confirming that they serve as registered agents for a multitude of companies, including those associated with Trump. However, she downplayed their direct involvement, stating that they work with more than 100,000 businesses globally.
When contacted by phone, Andrew Pierce’s father, Mark Pierce, who is also his business partner, expressed surprise at the connection. “If Mr. Trump or anyone in his family were on the same side of the street I was on,” Mark Pierce told CNN, “I would cross the street.”
While no conclusive ties between Trump and the Royal Honey Shop have been established, the investigation highlights the complex web of businesses operating in the Wyoming shopping center. This adds a layer of intrigue to the origins of Trump’s $100,000 watch, with more questions arising about the unusual business associations involved.
