Much like fancy cars, a luxury watch is an important status symbol. To that end, we dedicated this issue to the world of horology by presenting you features that give you a glimpse of the extravagance.

Welcome to the latest edition of ForbesLife Indonesia. This one pays tribute to one of the biggest passions of men-automobiles.
