The Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical Watch is a beautiful yet odd looking wrist watch with a unique vertical design. The watch is built around a system of wheels, pinions and drums, clearly visible, and having a winch-driven chain fusee movement. It has tiny 450 link chain and nickel silver drums; altogether there are 1,352 separate components.

Two rotating drums indicate the time, while further drums show power reserves. You can wind the watch using little capstans and it lasts for 72 hours. Price ranges from $275,000–$400,000, depending on style.
