A visitor looks at some jewellery and timepieces displayed at 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. (Photo by ADNAN BECI / AFP)
