Richard Mille RM 21-01 Tourbillon Aérodyne: A monster inspired by the world of aviation Inspired by the world of aerodynamics, the new RM 21-01 Tourbillon Aérodyne watch is designed to combine precision, lightness, durability and reliability.

Renowned for his extraordinary and expensive watchmaking creations, luxury watchmaker Richard Mille once again demonstrates all his expertise with this RM 21-01, drawing great inspiration from Formula 1 or the world of aviation, both of which The world is especially appreciated by Richard Miller.

The recently launched new RM 21-01 has a 5N red gold case with a complex structure, the bezel and its pillars are reinforced by a TPT ® carbon fiber external frame. The lightweight yet durable composite material is obtained by stacking hundreds of layers of carbon fiber in an automated process that modifies the orientation between each layer to 45°, before being heated in an autoclave to 120°C before processing Down to the nearest micron. Like armor, this reinforcement guarantees optimum protection of the case and is securely held in place by 20 splined screws. The striking rendering of the Carbon TPT ® formation harmonizes perfectly with the golden reflections and the royal blue honeycomb pattern of the board.

Carbon TPT ® in the center of the bridge is a material used many times in watchmaker models. Known for its strength and lightness, HAYNES ® 214 ® this time incorporates an orthogonal honeycomb structure - expressing the air's concept blue PVD treatment, a first for the brand. This nickel-chromium-aluminum-iron alloy is mainly reserved for use in thermal environments exceeding 955°. Its optimum resistance to high temperature oxidation allows conventional molding and assembly, making it particularly suitable for use in combustion chambers. As a result, the plate offers unrivaled stiffness, an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent resistance to torsion. Many of the essential attributes of a Mille watch.

From the extremely detailed hand-finishing of the movement’s chamfering, polishing, polishing and chamfering, to the use of technical and innovative materials, to the integration of the tourbillon against the effects of gravity.

RM 38-02 Tourbillon Bubba Watson: A limited edition signed by the golf champion

The Richard Mille 38-02 Bubba Watson is the third tourbillon watch in the collection named after the famous golfer, representing the precision and perfection of 'a hole in one'.

The Swiss watchmaker has always been keen to work with extremely demanding athletes, obviously because they are great champions, but also because they need a timepiece that can withstand extreme forces. Among these sports, golf is the ideal test-bed for Mille watches, as it is very physically demanding. On the wrist of a great hitter like Bubba Watson, it has to be able to withstand the stress associated with sudden stops and acceleration.

With a power reserve of 70 hours and water resistance to a depth of 50 meters (thanks to two nitrile rubber O-rings assembled with 12 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and wear-resistant 316L stainless steel washers), the watch features Made its own caliber 38-02, equipped with a hand-wound tourbillon movement with hours and minutes. Like many Richard Mille watches, the base plate is machined from Carbon TPT®, a material composed of layers of parallel-arranged filaments obtained by separating carbon fibers. With a maximum thickness of 30 microns, these Carbon TPT® layers are impregnated with resin and then laminated in a special machine that changes the direction of the fibers by 45° between each layer. After being heated to 120°C and subjected to a pressure of 6 bar, Carbon TPT® is processed in Richard Mille's factory dedicated to components. Carbon TPT® is known for its excellent resistance to micro-cracks and cracks.

The bridge plates are made of PVD-treated grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible alloy with high corrosion resistance and exceptional rigidity, ensuring the perfect functioning of the gear train. Comprising 90 percent titanium, 6 percent aluminum and 4 percent vanadium, the alloy is widely used in the aerospace industry and is known for being extremely strong and durable. When you know that a golf ball can withstand accelerations of up to 50,000 g: nothing more is needed to guarantee the RM 38-02's shock resistance of up to 10,000 g. The thickness of the movement is only 9.19 mm, which is surprisingly large. Engineers pay special attention to size, on the one hand,

Its design stands out among a thousand products, offering completely original colors in the Richard Mille collection: pink and white Quartz TPT® for the bezel and caseback, while the middle of the case combines Carbon TPT® and Quartz TPT® Rose "I stuck with Richard for ten years just to get a pink watch, and here it is! Even declared Bubba Watson when he discovered the RM 38-02 tourbillon. Dynamometer crown - a Safety Device - Prevents force-winding, which is the source of problems, such as a broken winding stem or over-tensioning of the barrel spring.
