After they leave the limelight, politicians often switch. Bill Clinton now has a watch wardrobe, according to observers. He owns at least three Kobolds—limited-edition watches from a tiny company in Pittsburgh that has attracted such buyers as actor James Gandolfini and newsman Brian Williams. Kobolds start at $2,850. Clinton has also been spotted wearing a Cartier Santos-Dumont ($12,600), a Panerai Luminor ($4,000 to $13,000), and a Roger Dubuis Much More ($19,100 to $86,800).

This wasn’t the first tempest over Bush’s Timex. In 2005, the Russian newspaper Pravda boasted that its country’s leader beats Bush in the watch race. Vladimir Putin wears a $60,000 Patek Philippe.
