Richard Mille 51-01 Tourbillon Tiger And Dragon
Richard Mille and Michelle’s collaboration began in 2011 with the creation of the RM 051 Phoenix Tourbillon, a symbolic timepiece in which she was intimately active. Michelle desired to reiterate the concept of forms and shapes integrated within the watch’s movement, this time with a visual scene centered on the symbolic themes of the Tiger and the Dragon, with a tiger and a dragon clutching the tourbillon movement. Created from 3N red gold, the figures are carved and incised entirely by hand. Special miniature tools were specifically made for the specific artistry required in the physical realization of these two creatures. To increase the realism of these special animals, a long and painstaking process of hand finished micro painting was executed, also including the unseen parts of these two marvelous entities.
The tiger and dragon have deeply influenced Asian culture. The Tiger, considered as ‘Yang’ supremacy, therefore male, was viewed as a demon hunter. For the military, the tiger, symbol of courage, was represented on shields and weapons. The dragon, meanwhile, is a very common symbol in China, taking on many complex traits, as an emblem that can unify a group, or a larger nation. Today we closely associate it with prosperity and happiness.
The three-part barrel-shaped case is highly curved which means the watch is comfortable to wear but considerable time is required for its production and quality control. The ergonomic and visually distinctive curvature of the case is typical of all Richard Mille timepieces, requiring absolute precision and a total lack of tension in the metal. These requirements for the case design are based on a year’s research and development. The characteristic tonneau shape of the RM 51-01 requires no fewer than 47 preliminary stamping operations including 21 for the tamping before production actually can begin. 4 hours of machining followed by more than 260 milling procedures are required to produce the RM 51-01 case with a further day spent on finishing which entails grinding, satin brushing and polishing. The tripartite case is water resistant to 50 meters, ensured by 2 Nitril O-ring seals. The case is assembled with 12 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and abrasion resistant washers in 316L stainless steel.

Richard Mille Fly back Red Quartz T P T 50 mm Watch RM 11-03
Richard Mille upgraded the RM 11-03 by employing the use of black carbon and red quartz to create a revolutionary timepiece. The T P T stands for thin ply technology, which means that the mechanization behind this timepiece uses the thinnest editions of carbon and quartz available. These thin materials not only allow the wearer to view the skeleton movements more clearly than ever before but result in a longer lasting movement than other skeleton watches. The case is 44.50 x 49.94 mm in dimension with a sapphire crystal and carbon bezel. This limited edition employs the use of the R M A C 3 Caliber which with automatic winding movement, offering analog time function, fly back chronograph, 60-minute countdown timer and over sized date display. Thanks to two barrels rotating technology, the watch offers 55 hours of power reserve. It comes with a white rubber strap that has a titanium fold over clasp. It has a water resistance of up to 50 meters (164 feet). A limited edition of the 50 red quartz chronographs were created for the market, so get yours while you can.

Polo is the sport of a true gentleman. The perfect union of man and beast, of strength and precision, speed and serenity. For its part, the RM 53-01 is the ‘smashing’ new result of the encounter between Richard Mille and Pablo Mac Donough, one of the world’s best players.
After the first, armoured solution created to grace the wrist of Pablo Mac Donough, this new incarnation of the Polo collection we present here is the fruit of exhaustive fieldwork and thousands of hours of Research & Development. The RM 53-01 Tourbillon Pablo Mac Donough demonstrated the exceptional resistance of this caliber to shocks – indispensable under the circumstances – combined with a new aesthetic.
The sapphire laminated glass of the RM 53-01 is a world premiere in the realm of watchmaking, capable of absorbing extreme shocks without breakage.
Shock is the enemy of a tourbillon movement. Richard Mille’s solution to this? Why, a cable-suspended movement! The atypical architecture of this design required the creation of two separate base plates.
The first, or ‘peripheral’ plate, is fixed to the case and supports the tensioner mechanisms. The second, known as the ‘central’ plate, is linked to the peripheral plate by cables and incorporates the wheels comprising the caliber as well as the winding mechanism.
The central base plate rests, like a spider in the middle of its web, on two braided steel cables just 0.27 mm in diameter. These cables, sketching a three-dimensional structure in their path through 10 pulleys, are anchored by 4 tensioners .The watchmaker is responsible for tensioning the cables by rotating a spline screw located at the center of each tensioner. By ensuring an even distribution of tension, this pulley system guarantees perfect balance of the whole mechanism

Richard Mille Tourbillon Rafael Nadal RM 27-03
These watches have broken records for lightness, sturdiness, and even use of materials – and the new RM 27-03 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is another record-breaker: its tourbillon movement withstands shocks up to 10,000 Gs, reaching a new threshold in watches. Aside from the more robust movement with its attractive new V-shaped base plate and bridges unusually made of Carbon TPT, what really takes the spotlight is the bright two-tone case coloring replicating the colors of the Spanish flag in honor of Nadal’s home country. The case is crafted in TPT Quartz, while the striping effect comes from impregnating fine layers of silica with tinted resin that are practically microscopic. This process is proprietary to Richard Mille in conjunction with partner North Thin Ply Technoloy (NTPT).
