Cabestan Nostromo
Two revolutionary watch designers Jean-Francois Ruchonnet and Eric Coudray proudly present their new creation – the Nostromo watch whose design was inspired by science fiction. The name of the watch was borrowed from that of a space craft from the Alien movie.

The massive rectangular case is made of titanium covered with PVD. The vertical wheel gear is organized on a pinion-shaft principle. The mechanism features hollow bridges with the barrel-counters fixed on the crutch. The rotary barrels show hours, minutes, seconds and power reserve.

There is something original and even scary greenish-yellow luminescent treatment covering the movement. The watch boasts quite a number of crystals: one at the front, two at the sides and one at the back. All the crystals allow observing the movement from all angles. The new Nostromo watch is completed with a rubber strap that is perfectly integrated into the case and glows with the same sinister light.
The first idea that comes to one’s mind about the Nostromo that it is a monster-watch. But probably the designers pursued this very goal – the timepiece is strongly associated with its namesake from the horror movie.
Technically the watch features the following characteristics: the movement is mechanical and manually wound - CAB PG 160 with 37 rubies. Balance frequency is 21,600 bph, power reserve makes up 50 hours. The front sapphire crystal is additionally metallized.
