A watch so complicated it's a shame it only tells the time
DVICE Atom Feed — ... Casio? Check out the Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Vertical Watch, a timepiece so stunning that you'll forget that it actually tells the time. It has 1,352 components all working together, driven by a 450 link chain and nickel silver drums. How's it work? You got me. Via magic, I guess. But it sure looks neat, eh? This insane gizmo will set you back a whopping $275,000, plus $400,000 extra if you want it all blinged up with diamonds and platinum. Cabestan, Via Boing Boing Gadgets

The Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Watch is Chain Driven, Costs $400K [Watches]
Gizmodo — ... 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 $275,000—$400,000 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] ...

Today at Boing Boing Gadgets
Boing Boing — Today at Boing Boing Gadgets, we interviewed Douglas Krone, the CEO of new import tech toy store Gizmine; found an astonishing $250,000 wristwatch; and beheld a giant mechanical spider. John saw a spy cam-watch from Brando, an awesome Lego chess set, and—drool!—Moleskine iPod cases. There was also a floating DVD player, a Roomba from 1959, and a crazy 1980s ad with Zack! Lego Maniac!
