Scuderia Ferrari One Cabestan proudly announces a partnership with Ferrari to celebrate the oldest and still existing Formula 1 racing team in the world, Scuderia Ferrari. With their debut in Formula 1 in 1950 (Grandprix of Italy), the Scuderia Ferrari team is active in Formula 1 for 60 years now. The Scuderia Ferrari One time piece by Cabestan has been created by Jean-Francois Ruchonnet, who is deeply passionate by high performance cars and car races, such as Formula 1.

Jean-Francois Ruchonnet teamed up with the Ferrari design team in Maranello, led by Design Director Flavio Manzoni. For the Scuderia Ferrari One time piece, the same high-tech materials have been used that Ferrari uses for their Formula 1 race cars. Its titanium alloy case houses the revolutionary motor Ruchonnet developed to power the Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical.

For this time piece, Cabestan uses only a single crystal to cover its engine instead of two crystals as we have seen on the Winch Tourbillon Vertical time piece. This crystal surpasses the edges of the high-tech watch case, enhances the distinctive visual linage that is unmistakably Ferrari. On the sides, a special magnesium alloy was used to create likenesses of race car wheels and the lug nuts that are emblematic of pit stop tire changes during Grand Prix races.

The lightweight aluminium drums are engraved with numbers that are the same on the Ferrari instrument panels, providing the F1 driver real time data that he needs to win. In the center, you’ll see the carbon block created by Ferrari for use in F1 cars due to its light weight and strength. The leather strap reminds us of the leather Daytona seats, used in Ferraris.
