The Cabestan From Jean-Francois Ruchonnet

If you thought the Harry Winston Opus 7 featured in our last post was a feet of mechanical engineering, then you should check out this extraordinary piece. From exclusive watch maker Jean-Francois Ruchonnet, comes another masterful timepiece with unexpected architecture and a hefty price tag to match, the Cabestan.

Inspired by water sports, the watch incorporates designs based on naval elements such as an anchor, winch or a chain-rocket. The case locks up a tourbillon design that is not only pleasing to eye but adds to the accuracy of time keeping in this premium Swiss made wristwatch.

Available in platinum or 3 gold, the Cabestan is limited to just 135 pieces worldwide and is priced at a whopping 200,000 GBP. Now that should deter the riff-raff from a purchase!
