Cabestan Watch

Check out the ridiculously cool, and large, Cabestan Watch. “The watch is totally innovative from its design point of view, but on a technical level, it is not as complex as one would think at first glance. Although its construction is very particular, I would still qualify it as accessible and entirely ‘masterable’. In fact, it basically involves a repositioning of elements, which in themselves, are an integral part of traditional watchmaking: a tourbillon, a chain, and a fusee… In the same manner, the majority of the essential component parts come from the traditional assortment. It is the architecture of the movement itself that is unusual, not its individual parts.” I think I may have found the watch for me…yeah, I’m stilll looking. Oh, hang on…$220,000…back to the drawing board! [via]
