Description

Founded by renowned watchmaker Jean-François Ruchonnet, though not operating anymore, has most definitely carved an indelible mark in the world of horology. Drawing inspiration from nautical engineering and vintage sports cars, Cabestan has consistently redefined the boundaries of traditional watchmaking. The once simple idea of a capstan, designed for sailing vessels to help amplify the manual pulling force exerted by seafarers, has given birth to Cabestan's distinctive type of watches, where the capstans are used for winding the movement and setting the time of the watch. A fine example is the watch presented here - the Cabestan Winch 3 Black Titanium Limited Edition ref. CAB 0099, a watch that is inherently contrasting to conventional watches. The watch utilizes a chain and fusee system, serving a critical role in maintaining an uninterrupted power supply to the escapement. This intricate system comprises an impressive assembly of no less than 450 meticulously crafted steel links, each secured with 150 precisely placed rivets. The displaying of time is elegantly presented through a pair of rotating drums, and the seconds indicator is linked to the vertical tourbillon, enhancing its mechanical allure. Each assembly of this system demands approximately 40 hours of painstaking manual work, which is truly a testament to the uncompromising craftsmanship behind this timepiece. Crafted out of titanium, a lightweight yet incredibly durable material, ensures that the watch is both resilient and comfortable, protecting the inner core of the watch. Limited to only 110 pieces, the watch is a collector's gem, especially with the brand not being operating anymore. More than just a watch, this timepiece is an invitation to a world where time is a tangible, artistic, and engineering creation.
