1) British usage: a quadrilateral with a pair of parallel sides
2) American usage: a quadrilateral with no parallel sides
Geometric shapes are the foundations of design. Cabestan Trapezium is based on
quadrilaterals with parallel and non-parallel sides. The result is a harmonious mixture of geometries that is ingeniously aesthetic and uniquely Cabestan.
Cabestan has made its mark on the world of ultra-exclusive timepieces. The iconic
Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical seduced watch collectors with its daringly creative design and its incredible technical prowess. Then, in partnership with the most
fabulous car manufacturer in the world, Cabestan created the Scuderia Ferrari One
by Cabestan. Now, we proudly introduce Trapezium.

DESIGN:
AN ICONIC TIMEPIECE
Scrupulously respecting the
brand’s DNA, Cabestan Trapezium
boasts a design that provides
spectacular front, back and lateral
views of the movement inside. Its sapphire crystals, side windows
and case back showcase the
intricacies of the miniature chain,
the fusee, the myriad wheels and
drums, and the vertical tourbillon
within. The prominent, fold-out
crowns are integral components of
this remarkable timepiece in which
high tech and elegant design
complement one another in perfect
harmony.
The chain and fusee and the
vertical tourbillon are both
fundamental components of the
timepiece’s precision. Enhanced
with new crowns, a new winding
system, new security features and
new drums, the movement takes
another step forward in setting
the standard for watchmaking.
All this from one of Switzerland’s
most respected watchmakers, Eric
Coudray, and his remarkable team
in the Vallée de Joux.
CABESTAN TRAPEZIUM
The Cabestan EC101.2 movement,
renowned for its spectacular design
and amazing accuracy, is at the
heart of Trapezium.

AESTHETICS:
PURE CABESTAN
Look at the timepiece from any
angle. A trapezium is subtly
evident. The high-grade titanium
case is noticeably tilted toward
the wearer to make legibility more
comfortable, with the indexes
offset in perfect coordination. The
cleverly engineered and highly
visible crowns open effortlessly,
engaging the winding mechanism
on one side and the time-setting
on the other.
Finally, twin side plates enhance
the visual geometry and allow
for a mixture of textures and
materials, creating a uniquely
Cabestan appearance.

PERFORMANCE:
AN EXCEPTIONAL MOVEMENT
In fact, verticalness is the
very basis of a tourbillon’s
effectiveness. The result: every Trapezium
timepiece is regulated to +/- 1 second per day.

The movement, engineered
and built by Eric Coudray, is
extremely precise. The chain and
fusee perfectly and automatically
compensate for the loss of
torque of the mainspring and
deliver a constant force to the
tourbillon. Because of its vertical
positioning, Trapezium’s tourbillon
compensates exceptionally well for
the variations in amplitude of the
balance due to the effects of the
Earth’s gravity.
