Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical
 It began with the image of a capstan. A mechanical device comprised of a large drum on a vertical axis, hand-operated by a lever, the winch, causing a rope or chain to wrap around the drum. From this action is derived the force to move other mechanisms. From this simple idea was born the Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical. Capstans used for winding the movement and setting the time. A chain and fusée to transmit the energy. Drums to display the time. A vertical tourbillon to regulate the movement. And a miniature winch concealed in the folding buckle to activate the mechanisms. The result : a rare work of mechanical art. An exceptional timepiece demonstrating unparalleled elegance and harmony housing one of the most precise mechanical movements in the world.
Manufacture. Highly trained craftsmen. Attention to the most minute details. The Cabestan is produced, finished, assembled, regulated and tested in-house by our own team of talented watchmakers. Building each tourbillon one-by-one. Assembling the miniature chain under a microscope, one link at a time. Polishing and adjusting each component, no matter how tiny, with painstaking care and attention. This is traditional watchmaking at its absolute finest.
