The Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Watch is Chain Driven, Costs $US400K
Personally, I think spending a few thousand dollars on a watch is ridiculous—but hundreds of thousands of dollars? Nonetheless, that’s what it will take to score the Cabestan Winch Tourbillion.
Granted, 1352 components driven by a 450 link chain and nickel silver drums in astounding horizontal precision is pretty damn cool for a watch, but I can think of a few other places to spend my $US275,000—$US400,000 on. I mean, that’s a house, a nice car, and a sweet vacation on your wrist for God’s sake. [Cabestan via Book of Joe via Boing Boing Gadgets]

yeah, just what I always wanted a watch that told me that it was time to bend over. Who wants buyers remorse every time you check the time of day? Not only that, you’d have to tell everybody that it was a cheap knock-off or they’d think you’re a total wanker!
