Steampunk Watch

Here’s a crazy-cool steampunk watch:

  • 1,352 components working together in masterful horological precision
  • driven by a 450 link chain and nickel silver drums.
  • $275,000 for the base model
  • $400,00 to get it studded in platinum and diamonds.
  • From Cabestan Watches.

It seems like something you’d want to keep under glass, rather than wear. I myself want something more durable.

    You could buy a very nice house for that. It does look awesome, but until it cleans my house, makes me dinner and goes to work for me I’ll stick with my 40 dollar watch.

    This Mechanical Aural Communication Device is the only one of its kind I’d ever consider wearing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicrosin/2825085895/in/set-72157603710825786/
