Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 012 - Harmonious Entirety | Jan 17, 2007 |
It seems that watchmaking companies are driven forward by overwhelming desire towards creating more sophisticated timepieces from both technical and aesthetic perspective. This thought came to my mind when I saw the Richard Mille tourbillon RM 012. It catches the eye and sparks imagination by its unconventional design that clearly belongs to the realms of the 21 century. It seems to me the mechanical masterpiece would greatly fit the wrist of some present-day space traveler dressed in the stylish spacesuit.I have found out that the exclusive wristwatch has been developed in a limited edition of just 30 numbered pieces in platinum. The movement's dramatic lines have probably been suggested by structural forms characteristic to architectural engineering. Everything seems to be tubular, cylindrical and rolling. The watch features tubular-like angled shapes giving the impression of stiff and rigid construction. The brand's watchmakers took care to provide the wristwatch with utmost resistance to possible changes in temperature and elements that may cause corrosion.
Richard Mille tourbillon RM 012 represents the unique timekeeper that united the functions of the watch's baseplate with those provided by the movement and bridges. As a result there appeared a technically logical entirety penetrated by visual harmony.
The timepiece is powered by Caliber RM 012, hand-wound tourbillon with hours and minutes.
In fact, the major features of Richard Mille tourbillon RM 012 have entered the list of watchmaking technical innovations.- The winding barrel, going train and tourbillon cage have been produced from specific Aluminum Alloy called Anticorodal 100. This alloy consists of aluminum, magnesium and silicium. It is widely utilized in industrial engineering applications, including sports cars, skyscrapers, and ships. The Richard Mille watchmakers stopped their choice at the alloy for such advantageous characteristics as low mass inertia, durability, the capacity to imbibe vibrations and supreme resistance to corrosion and outwearing.
- United tube and bridge details have been made in steel Inox Alloy and Titanium.
- Grade 5 Titanium has been chosen for producing spline screws.
Watch lovers appreciate Richard Mille timepieces for their distinctively masculine look. It is possible to admire the magically displayed watches' gears and workings. Richard Mille timekeeping creations are characterized by light weight yet sturdy appearance. The watches are produced to be shock resistant. The comfortable wearing is provided by the curved shape of the case. In short, these timekeepers are boldly designed and impressive - it is not so easy to become an owner of one of Richard Mille exclusive creations.
