Richard Mille RM 66 Flying Tourbillon
Richard Mille RM 66 Flying Tourbillon
Richard Mille has launched a new limited edition - and it's unlike anything we've seen before. Drawing inspiration from the rock 'n' roll lifestyle of the 1960s, Richard Mille's RM 66 Flying Tourbillon is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious pieces in the current collection. 50 pieces available.
First off, the case of the Richard Mille RM 66 Flying Tourbillon is quite large, measuring 42.70 x 49.94 x 16.15mm. While the front and back of the case are in Carbon TPT for a rougher aesthetic, this is balanced by the precious luster of the 5N red gold plate located between the Grade 5 titanium case bands. These plates feature a hobnail pattern designed to evoke the sharp-edged character of punk belts.luxury replica watches
At the same time, the titanium crown set with rubies is reminiscent of the shape of a spider. The crown has other qualities as well. The anti-twist crown automatically disengages when the barrel tension is optimal, eliminating the risk of overwinding. Due to the difficulty of polishing titanium, each crown of the RM 66 flying tourbillon takes 12 hours to complete.
The dial of the RM 66 Flying Tourbillon is full of visual cues that are sure to appeal to fans of the brand's music. On the one hand, the unusual hour markers mimic the shape of a guitar pick. Instead of fixing the indices to the dial, as one might expect, Richard Mille cheap replica watches screwed the indices onto the sloped titanium inner bezel. Bevelling is an extremely delicate operation that must be performed with great care due to the black PVD coating on the inner bezel.
However, this is not the most exciting part of the new RM 66 Flying Tourbillon watch, which realizes the vision of Cécile Guenat, director of creativity and development. The highlight of her latest creations are the skeletonized 5N red gold hands that seem to hold the entire movement in the hand. We've seen this skeleton theme before, such as the RM 052 Tourbillon Skull. This openwork pattern is a tribute to the manufacturer's credo of "living life to the fullest". Meanwhile, the five fingers are by the Geneva engraver Olivier Vaucher.
Beneath this work of art, we find the main event: the caliber RM 66 hand-wound movement. At 6 o'clock, beneath the red-gold palm, the watch showcases the rapid-winding barrel that provides a 72-hour power reserve. The barrel makes one revolution every 6 hours instead of 7.5 hours. The wearer of the mens replica watch can also admire the movement through the sapphire crystal case back.
Flying Tourbillon: visibility is everything Meanwhile, the flying tourbillon is unconventional at 12 o'clock (it can be argued that most traditional manufacturers prefer the 6 o'clock position). However, there is an explanation: the watch flips the movement 180 degrees to give the tourbillon its proud seat.
In order to maximize transparency, watchmakers have taken extra measures. Richard Mille opted for a flying tourbillon with variable inertia to enhance the skeletonisation. Therefore, the tourbillon cage is not bridged - hence the "flying" tourbillon. This aesthetically accentuates the qualities of the highly skeletonized RM 66.perfect replica watches
