This photograph shows the twelve golden folk dancers which mark the hours in the handcrafted watch "Primordial Passion" by Albanian jewellery house Pirro, in Tirana, on July 31, 2024. Albanian jeweller Pirro Ruco laboured day and night for five years to capture the essence of his country in a spectacular luxury watch. Now the timepiece, worth roughly $1.4 million, is set to face off against the best watches from across the world at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in November.
