The Cabestan Luna Nera was inspired by humanity’s enduring fascination with the cosmos, merging the brand’s signature mechanical complexity with celestial symbolism. Jean-François Ruchonnet and Eric Coudray designed it as a poetic interpretation of time’s connection to lunar cycles, integrating a precision moon phase indicator within Cabestan’s vertical chain-and-fusee movement. The watch’s sculptural form, enhanced by its domed sapphire crystal, evokes the curvature of planetary orbits and the mystery of space itself. By combining astronomical artistry with intricate mechanical engineering, the Luna Nera captures the rhythm of the heavens in motion—turning each rotation into a visual meditation on time and the cosmos.

Cabestan Nostromo Watch Repair >
The Cabestan Nostromo was inspired by science fiction and the mysterious allure of deep space, taking its name and design cues from the starship in Alien. Jean-François Ruchonnet envisioned it as a futuristic evolution of Cabestan’s mechanical language—dark, minimalist, and illuminated from within like a machine drifting through the void. Its matte titanium case, electroluminescent numerals, and exposed vertical chain-and-fusee system reflect both industrial precision and cinematic imagination, symbolizing time as an endless voyage through shadow and light.

Cabestan Trapezium Watch Repair >
The Cabestan Trapezium was inspired by the desire to refine and modernize the architectural essence of the original Winch Tourbillon Vertical while enhancing its visual storytelling. Drawing influence from contemporary industrial design and precision engineering, Jean-François Ruchonnet reimagined the watch’s case into a sleek trapezoidal form that amplified light, transparency, and mechanical depth. The angled sapphire crystal and geometric lines were designed to highlight the mesmerizing motion of the vertical chain-and-fusee system from multiple perspectives, transforming the watch into a miniature kinetic sculpture that celebrates the intersection of art, architecture, and horology.

Cabestan Triple Axis Tourbillon Watch Repair >
The Cabestan Triple Axis Tourbillon was inspired by the relentless pursuit of mechanical perfection and visual complexity, embodying the pinnacle of Eric Coudray’s watchmaking genius. Designed to showcase the full choreography of motion, it integrates a triple-axis tourbillon within Cabestan’s signature vertical chain-and-fusee system—a fusion of 18th-century precision mechanics and modern kinetic art. The concept draws from astronomy and gyroscopic motion, representing time as a dynamic, multidimensional phenomenon rather than a flat measure. Each rotation of the tourbillon expresses both mastery and motion, turning the watch into a living sculpture of engineering and poetry.

Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical Watch Repair >
The Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical was inspired by the intricate mechanics of 18th- and 19th-century marine chronometers and ship winches, translating the visual and functional essence of nautical engineering into a modern wristwatch. Jean-François Ruchonnet envisioned a timepiece that made the transmission of energy visible—mirroring the chain-and-fusee systems once used in maritime instruments to ensure precision under extreme conditions. The watch’s vertical movement architecture and manual winch winding system evoke the aesthetics of sailing machinery, symbolizing control, craftsmanship, and the human relationship with time as both a mechanical and poetic force.

Heartfelt Testimonials on Watch Repair
Jane Murray ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I found Times Ticking on the internet. The last time I had a watch repaired locally it cost more than the watch did new. I got it back just like new 2 weeks later and 2,000 miles away. HIGHLY recommended. Times Ticking was prompt, inexpensive, and even phoned when they got my watch and told me in advance what it would cost to repair.
Keith Kerney ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Their service was grade A!!! They're quick and professional; they always kept me updated with status of my watches. Their work is flawless which they stand behind, to me most importantly. They speak to you as if you're an old friend asking for help; in which they're always happy to do. Times Ticking; a place where you can ask an old friend for help.
Matthew Emory ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot speak to the local facilities or sales staff. I am an internet customer who took a chance and sent my prized Accutron watch across the country to folks I do not know and have never met. This was a big decision which took several weeks to discern. I am thrilled with my decision and am planning to send my Dad’s watch in for repair. The difference? This time there is no hesitation whatsoever.
Ellen Hymes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was thrilled that they were able to repair and clean up a watch that I had inherited from my mother. It looks great and works great. The service was fast. The person who called me about the watch was very friendly and seemed grateful for my business. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will use them again if the need arises. So refreshing to receive such good customer service these days!
Peter K ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend Times Ticking for watch repair. Jesse & crew know their stuff and even take the time to talk with you. They communicate very friendly/professionally and most of all the prices are more than fair for such craftsmen skills! My opinion: They are like the American Restoration of watches.

HISTORY OF CABESTAN
The Legacy of Cabestan: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Cabestan was founded in 2003 by master watchmaker Jean-François Ruchonnet, who sought to merge traditional haute horlogerie with cutting-edge mechanical design. The brand became renowned for its revolutionary vertical movement architecture, showcased in its debut model, the Winch Tourbillon Vertical, which displayed time through chain-and-fusee transmission systems reminiscent of old marine chronometers. These intricate mechanisms, driven by visible miniature winches and rotating drums, redefined modern mechanical watchmaking by blending technical artistry with visual spectacle.
Handcrafted in Switzerland and later guided by watchmaker Eric Coudray, Cabestan gained cult status for its avant-garde engineering and uncompromising devotion to craftsmanship, making it one of the most technically daring independent watchmakers of the 21st century.
