After perusing the just-released Forbes list of billionaires, I was surprised to find that I recognized several names – five to be exact. Why did I recognize them? They are related to the watch industry, of course, and as such are affiliated with names as prestigious and famous as LVMH, Hermès, Bulgari, Gucci, PPR, Richemont, Cartier, Montblanc, Graff, Swatch Group, Breguet, and Blancpain.
