Mechanical watch sports mini slot-machine

We normally stick to drooling over microchip-laden gadget internals, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place in our hearts for the mechanical variety of sexy. The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Jackpot Tourbillon casino watch, which was recently unveiled at this year's Geneva SIHH show for unrepentant watch nerds, manages full-on mechanical slot machine action, including chiming gongs for that classic casino experience. Of course, there's no room for dropping change into this thing, but we're pretty sure you'll get chance to blow cash aplenty on the purchase, so no worries there.

The watch is amazing looking! Sure to cost a small fortune, but then again, who could resist playing with it all day...I could see inter-office betting being the new thing...

Seeing slot machine innards is a strange turn on for me...

It looks absolutely gorgeous but... what time is it?

A small fortune indeed! More like a small house :)

I don't care how much this watch costs, I'm buying one (unless they slap a hideous face on top of those glorious innards) it's the sexiest watch I've seen in awhile.

Crap, now the drunk, chain-smoking weirdos stuck in casinoes can go EVERYWHERE.

The price is $500,000.
