| A $275,000 Steampunk style watch! I can't believe its price tag. The Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical($275,000¨C$400,000) is the brainchild of Vianney Halter and the engineering masterpiece of the DMC Group's Jean-François Ruchonnet. A wrist-watch built around a winch-driven chain fusee movement, it has a tiny 450 link chain and nickel silver drums; altogether there are 1,352 separate components. Two rotating drums indicate the time, while further drums show power reserves; you wind the watch using the glorious little capstans. Various cases are available, ranging from brushed titanium, gold and platinum, through to gold encrusted with diamonds. |
