World Leaders & Their Expensive Time

 

Politics is a dirty play, but leaders all over the world like to play this dirty game with a dash of opulence. National leaders from all over the world have a stringent dress code – Culture bred sophisticated attires, topped with timepieces which make much bolder statements than the representatives themselves.

Take a look at the wrist watch fetish these country tamers make space for.

Seen wearing : Omega Tank wrist watch (purchased back by Omega for Omega Museum for a staggering $350,000)

Seen wearing : Omega Professional Seamaster (Approx. $3,000)
