Sol Invictus Watch by Cabestan & Marc Alfieri
In 2010, Sol Invictus, by Cabestan & Marc Alfieri
, is the first mechanical watch in the world to integrate a perpetual winding system powered by solar energy.Sol Invictus incarnates the new generation of exclusive watchmaking : three of the leading names in the industry, Marc Alfieri, Jean-Franois Ruchonnet and Eric Coudray, worked together to create the unimaginable. Sol Invictus, Invincible Sun, god revered by the Roman Emperor Aurelian, is today the name of this extra ordinary creation.
The vision was to link the Cabestan's micromechanics to miniature photovoltaic cells, store energy and then draw upon it as needed, to electromechanically set the time and perpetually rewind the movement.
The result is a rare work of mechanical art. An exceptional timepiece demonstrating unparalleled elegance and harmony, housing one of the most precise mechanical movements in the world.
