Notes

Case, dial and movement signed. DIM. 46 x 41 THICKNESS 15mm. CABESTAN was founded in 2003, the present example no. 88 is part of the first generation by the Independant Swiss watchmaker. All pieces on this highly complicated timepiece were first designed by renowned names in the watch industry, Jean-François Ruchonnet (designer), Vianney Halter, Eric Coudray (Master watchmakers). Not anymore in production today, this example can be considered as one of the most important collector's piece from the brand. This model part of the limited series Winch Tourbillon Vertical was completely assembled in house with best quality control, it still retains its orginal plastic protecting box, original presentation case and certificate, showing the work of excellence that still drives Cabestan Swiss Watch Manufacture today under its new CEO and owner, Lionel Betoux. Furthermore, the watch will be serviced completely by Cabestan and given a two year warranty, as well as customized for its new owner. This exceptional gesture shows once again the commitment of the new management and we are thankful to them on behalf of all collectors of Cabestan highly complicated timepieces.
