Designer Jean-François Ruchonnet’s Cabestan Nostromo watch seems to have been inspired by the spaceships in alien movies. Though the watch looks quite confusing to me, the Cabestan Nostromo watch is being described as mechanically fascinating and user-friendly. The watch consists of several drums on the dial carved with numerals. An additional drum is used to indicate a 50-hour power reserve.
The Cabestan Nostromo watch glows in the dark due to a superluminova phosphorescent coating on the face. The Cabestan Nostromo watch will be released very soon at a price of 150,000 CHF.
