Dec 23 2008Do You Piss Liquid Gold?: A $400,000 Watch
The Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Vertical Watch is utterly ridiculous and has 1,352 parts (in comparison, my sundial has two). It's "driven by a 450 link chain and nickel silver drums" and looks like it'll break just putting it on. The base model will set you back $275,000, but if you want that shit to have platinum and diamonds and a set of grillz it'll be $400,000. I have no idea what makes the thing tell time, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's something to do with a winch. And speaking of which -- more beer you wretched beast!
Mad props in advance to everyone that's going to use their comment to tell me beer wench is spelled with an e.
Hit the jump for several more pictures of the awesomely constructed movement.
A watch so complicated it's a shame it only tells the time [dvice]

Can this be classified as actual steampunkage? Or does there need to be steam involved?

for me to poop on....
If I had $400,000 I'd do some other crazy shit, like pay my child support and taxes. Ninja please....

I am guessing tokyo flash won't be carrying this model.
9. LSDiesel - December 23, 2008 12:35 PM
Try convincing security that it's only a watch.
10. Timbo - December 23, 2008 12:35 PM
I think it's a cool idea, but hideous ... I might (MIGHT) pay $40, but I doubt it.

"Mad" is spelled with a "d".
12. chickdowntown - December 23, 2008 12:42 PM
Son of a... nobody told me this thing wasn't waterproof! Anybody got another $400k I can borrow? :(
13. Thumperchica - December 23, 2008 12:43 PM
Well, 11 beat me to correcting that one...
This watch looks fragile and irritating... Paris Hilton should own in, they match!
14. franklin - December 23, 2008 12:46 PM
id use it to make a mini f***ing machine for tinkerbell god shes f***ing sexy.....

FAKE!!!!
This is 100% fake, don't be fooled. The shadows are ALL wrong.
This was taken from a scene in a previously unreleased cam version of Tender Dracula.
Dracula spends much of the film violently molesting personages of the public with his gang of drunk overdubbed french make up artists. Later he is caught, and subjected to many hours of confusing cinema, his eyes being held open with splints.
He is released, having been thoroughly brainwashed.
He reencouters some of the folks he tormented, and realises that he can not escape violence, so he takes out his fiddle and plays a merry tune.
We all laughed for hours.

It looks like an organ grinder, it should come with a tiny monkey wearing a vest and fez hat.
17. Paulie - December 23, 2008 12:59 PM
"beer winch" is spelled with an "e" = "wench"
18. Daisy - December 23, 2008 1:00 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tall its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max met the Tender Dracula and received a family heirloom watch in exchange for his young blood.

WTF is that pile of junk ?? *stunned*
20. Sharla - December 23, 2008 1:01 PM
What's wrong with just a regular watch? I would think that a simple to read and operate watch would be worth more than this contraption...
21. known - December 23, 2008 1:04 PM
I CAME!!!
22. Pew³ - December 23, 2008 1:10 PM
For that much bling, it should come with a crystal cover over it. Why does it have a readout in the upper left that goes to 72?
23. HG - December 23, 2008 1:10 PM
I SAW!!!
I CONQUERED!!!
See, and now your idiocy is turned into a classic quote.
24. C-Basstian - December 23, 2008 1:11 PM
if i had the money i would find a way of making it cheaper... but i think it looks bad ass
25. known - December 23, 2008 1:23 PM
Actually 23 yours did, thanks for acknowledging it to yourself. I just came
26. Netserk - December 23, 2008 2:32 PM
Hey! Beer wench is spelled with an e!
27. Foobar - December 23, 2008 3:51 PM
Where do they mount the spare tire?
Did you know beer wench is spelt with an E?
28. Beastman AIDS - December 23, 2008 4:02 PM
'Wench' is spelled g e e k o l o g i e w r i t e r s m u m.
And this watch looks like it'd snag your johnson everytime you hit the urinal.
29. Jo Mama - December 23, 2008 5:31 PM
I can imagine this thing pinching the shit out of my arm hairs.
30. Paul - December 23, 2008 6:11 PM
If you have $400k to blow on a watch, do you really care what time it is?
31. Adra - December 23, 2008 6:13 PM
Yeah good idea shame about the execution. Its not really steam punk at all...no brass.
Gx

Are you guys serious?! You really don't know a time machine when you see one huh?! *Rolls Eyes*
33. Eru - December 24, 2008 8:49 AM
What? Two "FAKE!" characters now?
34. jimminyjilikers - December 24, 2008 9:34 AM
Yeah, but is it waterproof? Because I need something to keep accurate time when I'm doing my laps at the pool.
35. The Mighty Patapon - December 24, 2008 11:26 AM
using my comment to tell you beer wench is spelled with an e.

36. NastyBedazzler - December 24, 2008 3:55 PM
I think it looks pretty f***ing awesome, probably wouldn't play nice with long sleeve shirts
37. truk - December 27, 2008 6:51 PM
I wonder if the band is real leather
38. Deborah - December 30, 2008 11:19 PM
This thing looks like an adding machine lol! I can imagine someone asking me what time it is, hold a second I have to turn the crank about 5 times. I wonder what would happen if someone got something caught in there and then you pulled the crank what a mess that would be.

yeah......... I am still pushing to someday push my way into franchesca's asshole.
