Cabestan Watch: Weird, Expensive and Impractical But Probably Very Desirable.

By Alex in Fashion, Gadgets, Hacks & Mods on Jan 27, 2007 at 12:00 am

This is a weird (and expensive) watch called the Cabestan from Vianney Halter and Jean-François Ruchonnet:

Cabestan doesn’t have a dial too, nor hands. Everything is shown with wheels and barrels. The functions of this watch are a tourbillon, power reserve. It is powered by a mechanical movement and has a manual winding. The watch is equipped with a special winch for adjusting the time.

For the pleasure of winding your watch with a winch, you get to pay $220,000 or so! Link
