CABESTAN Terra Luna

icon brand

After defying the oceans, the earth, and afterwards the mountains, Cabestan’s creation is now facing the sky and stars with Terra Luna, a real window towards the moon.

Cabestan defi es the elements to become master of space and time: the oceans, the mountains, the sky ...no limit seems to resist ...
 
CABESTAN Phylosophy
As a conqueror, against all odds, climbing peaks, every day man invents new methods to discover and tame the space that surrounds him.
It is in this spirit that Cabestan investigates the elements of nature: water, earth, sky, wind, fi re... Cabestan plays with them, then challenges their laws and overturns conventional wisdom.

The intelligence of these achievements is the reliance on ancient wisdom with the chain and fuse system, boosting precision parts. The ingenuity and exclusive techniques break conventions and bring innovation. The noble materials such as nickel silver, in turn, refl ect the values   of the cradle of the origin of the products, the Vallée de Joux.

Design
Terra Luna is the result of Eric Coudray’s imagination, Master watchmaker renowned and genius of the brand identity. He signs a superb achievement by combining the typical technology of vertical capstan wheels, chain and fuse, with a sumptuous moon phase in 3-dimensions.  By this additional complication, the knowledge and the mechanical exclusive creation are highlighting the potential of the brand.

The sapphire crystal in giant screen, which represents a large window facing the sky, allows us to observe the mechanism of the watch and more particularly the 3D moon, as do astronomers from their observatories.

Mechanism
This exceptional piece is composed of a manually wound movement: caliber CAB EC 102L, with 46 rubies. The mechanism indicates the hours, minutes, seconds and power reserve by drums, one characteristic of this collection. The time is semi-jumping for easier reading. The 3D moon at the center of the mechanism makes a total rotation within 29.5 days, as a real moon phase. It is represented by a sphere of 7.40 mm diameter. 

The torque is transmitted from the drum barrel to the fuse via a chain. This concept allows a constant torque transmission throughout the power reserve (72 hours), ensuring greater accuracy in the measurement of time. The regulating component is composed of a tourbillon with a spring balance which has a frequency of 3Hz making one rotation per minute. The balance spring has a Breguet terminal curve and a Geneva stud. An end plate uniformaly distributes the curve of the spring. The winding and time-setting are manually adjusted by two distinct crowns, a third one allows the setting of the moon.
