There are many watch brands in the world, but among them there are brands that are known as the "World's Three Great Luxury Watches."
"Patek Philippe", "Audemars Piguet" and "Vacheron Constantin" are three brands that are the object of admiration for watch enthusiasts.

Albert chain is a chain used to wear a pocket watch.
It is named after Prince Albert (1819-1861), husband of Queen Victoria of England (1837-1901).
It was developed not only for the practical purpose of attaching a pocket watch to clothing to prevent it from being dropped, but also as an accessory for British gentlemen to be worn stylishly.
