The Richard Mille watch: there’s never been anything like it!
If we were playing riddles, we’d say that the Richard Mille watch is to aviation what a subsonic jet is to a glider; it is to the automobile world what a Formula 1 is to a mass-produced banger; it is to maritime navigation what a Riva is to a dinghy… And so we could go on ad infinitum; the Richard Mille brand (founder of the same name) is now so much a part of watch-making technology that he is applauded by even the oldest of Swiss manufacturers. Why? Because he has gone beyond the existing world-wide boundaries of technical possibility.The Richard Mille watch is at the top of technical expertise (requiring 20,000 mechanical operations per watch), presented in a case of such simple beauty that it is totally grandiose!
Tourbillon RM 002-1 With its function dial – hour, minute, 70-hour power supply – the Tourbillon RM 002-1 is a technological marvel. Amongst its high-performance features are a sophisticated second time zone indicator and a variable counter pivot which makes it far more resistant to shock.
Far from being child’s play…… it is pretty much a big boy’s toy… albeit for a big boy with taste and passion! This is not a watch you would let just anyone play with, nor is it a watch that just anybody can wear – price aside (prices start at 159,000 E). You will still have to wait at least six months, and there is only one Paris specialist available to give you further details... he can be found at Chronopassion.
Tourbillon RM 003-1 No less revolutionary than the RM 002-1, the Tourbillon RM 003-1 includes an additional time zone indicator… simply press the button located at 9 o’clock and you will be tuned in to a second time zone in the form of an easy-to-read sapphire dial display.
