....but I'm not sure The Cabestan working prototype, realised by Vianney Halter...... At the time I took the pictures, it wasn't working anymore , as it was dropped by somebody (no, not me ;-) ) - but all vital parts are in there. It's a fascinating piece...  

simply AWESOME!

Great concept but looks like a repair waiting to happen.

The design looks to be very delicate. Not sure it will be able to survive daily wear. With that said - it's one hell of a design and execution. Thanks DaveB

Not so sure...

Please keep it comin'!! We can't get enough of the Basel pieces. As for the Cabestan, I read your post to imply the possibility that the watch may become part of "another company's" line, if not Vianney's. Is this just wishful thinking on my part?

My pleasure....

....your kind words are very much appreciated! What I was told, Jean-Francois Ruchonnet, the designer and "father" of the project is now responsible for the future production pieces. At the moment it's not planned to be a Vianney Halter product in the fut... 

Thanks and futur vision
