There are a few times in history that a product comes by that makes its own history. The Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Vertical Watch is one such creation. A stunning masterpiece reflective of brilliant engineering and smart designing, this watch has 1,352 components working together in a masterful horological precision.
A 450 link chain drives the whole mechanism which also includes nickel silver drums. The basic model comes for $275,000 and if you have an extra $400,000, well, you can get it decorated with platinum and diamonds.
Yep, the baby of Vianney Halter and Jean-Froancois Ruchonnet of the DMC Group, this timepiece comes in a variety of styles with the signature chain or cog or triple drum digital layout. There are three colours to choose from, titanium, yello gold and rose gold. Buzz is that only four Cabestan watches are made every month. So hurry!
