Oligarchical horology
Just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Punch and pie for anyone who manages to repeat that one ten times quickly.

Graff MasterGraff Tourbillon Limited Edition Full Pave Watch
My fascination with Graff watches began a while ago when I first saw their diamond shrouded timepieces. These watches are as rare as a Graff boutiques.
