Cuban watchmaker Ernesto Barrios, despite economic challenges, seized the opportunity to establish 'Tiempo de Luz' after the ban on private companies was lifted. The company makes watches from discarded timepieces and locally available materials. Patek Philippe is launching a limited edition minute repeater priced at $990,000 for 30 clients. Additionally, a pocket watch from the Titanic is set to sell at auction for nearly $100,000.
