Day 5: Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Chain Drive

First and foremost, I hope everyone had a nice holiday and ate their weight in food and all that. While I was spending Christmas on planet Hoth (Erie, PA), I had a lot of time to think about the next watch. And well its kinda nuts, but an engineering marvel. I give you the Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Chain Drive:






1352 components driven by a 450 link chain and nickel silver drums. Seriously, thinking of how this watch was made and works makes me feel like that guy in Scanners right before his head exploded. This little darling will run you about $400K +. And people WILL and HAVE paid that. They can only make 4 a year and productions are already sold out. What recession?

Specs:
umm...
• magic
• microscopic gremlins
• tons and tons of tiny little metal parts
