The RM66 Floating Tourbillon Watch is out of the ordinary, proudly out of the crowd

The new RM 66 Floating Tourbillon Perfect Replica Watches is undoubtedly one of the most rebellious styles in the watch series. Its 'devil horn' metal gesture shines dazzlingly, symbolizing a generation, a school of thought and a spiritual world. All those who seek to challenge all limits, like RICHARD MILLE, will find resonance in the unique design of the RM 66 floating tourbillon watch.

The first thing that catches the eye is the palm shape made of 5N red gold and hollowed out, holding the movement in the palm. Just like RICHARD MILLE has always been a unique style, the palm in this work presents an X-ray-like perspective effect, paying tribute to the RM 052 skeleton tourbillon watch, always reminding people of the awe of death and the importance of fully enjoying the present moment. At the same time, the RM 66 Floating Tourbillon evokes the unruly and rock 'n' roll spirit of the 1960s, a trend that upended people's way of life.Richard Mille RM011 Felipe Massa

The RM 66 floating tourbillon watch was conceived by Cécile Guenat, creative and development director of RICHARD MILLE, inspired by the metal gesture of the "devil horn": the index finger and little finger are stretched out, and you can see it from the back of the watch. Press the middle finger and ring finger down to the thumb. After the five fingers on the hand are milled, they are transferred to the hands of the engraver for further manual production. This engraving process was completed by the famous Geneva engraver Olivier Vaucher. After a long and meticulous trimming and polishing, the outline of the phalanx is clearly visible, and the micro-sandblasted surface treatment highlights the delicate craftsmanship of the joints.

The quick-winding barrel in the structure of the RM 66 hand-wound movement is located at 6 o'clock and provides a 72-hour power reserve. The tourbillon is located at 12 o'clock. This design is the first time for RICHARD MILLE. The outline of the five-grade titanium alloy movement fits the line of the hand, and all adopt a fully hollowed out design to ensure maximum transparency. This is due to the complex mechanical solution adopted by RICHARD MILLE, that is, a floating tourbillon structure with variable inertia to enhance the hollow effect, which is rare in previous RICHARD MILLE watches. The tourbillon structural frame is only fixed at one end of its axis to prevent the upper bridge from affecting the ethereal movement of the movement, so as to obtain a better visual effect. Such an adventurous design is very challenging, because RICHARD MILLE's impact resistance test is one of the most rigorous tests in the watchmaking industry. This unconventional design provides valuable space for the 'ballet' performance of the 180-degree rotating tourbillon movement.Jacob & Co. ASTRONOMIA ART DRAGON

The RM 66 floating tourbillon watch that brings rock to life requires considerable technical ingenuity; in fact, the preliminary research and development work took 1,500 hours, and the case team took another 9 months to complete the production. For example, the time scale points are like guitar picks, and are extended by the pointed design made of titanium alloy. Despite the challenges of working with titanium on this piece, we first polished and sanded the aforementioned components to a perfect micro-blasted finish. Finally, each hour marker is screwed to the titanium alloy bezel. Polishing the beveled edges of the bezel before the black plating is also an extremely delicate job.

RICHARD MILLE's extreme pursuit of details is also reflected in the production of the spider-shaped crown made of grade 5 titanium alloy. The gothic crown component on the round black rubber gasket is inlaid with a ruby. big challenge. The engraved skull pattern is once again a tribute to the RM 052 skeleton tourbillon swiss luxury watches. When the barrel tension is optimal, the torque-limiting crown is automatically disengaged, thus avoiding the risk of overwinding. Julien Boillat (Julien Boillat), RICHARD MILLE Case Technology Director, said: "We spent more than 200 hours on this component from development to final completion; It took another 12 hours. Titanium alloys are much more difficult to polish than red gold or steel. Not only that, it is also very difficult to keep the crown stable while polishing, so we had to use special clamps to fix it from the inside So it takes some subtle tricks to make this kind of crown.”

The rough style of the Carbon TPT® carbon fiber material used in the case forms a strong contrast with the precious luster of red gold. The middle case in grade 5 titanium has satin-finished columns, polished bevels and inlaid 5N red gold trim. Featuring the 'Clou de Paris' motif, the red-gold trim is machined and polished before being hand-polished to preserve the edgy, edgy feel of punk-inspired belts. The RM 66 Floating Tourbillon is a limited edition. Just like its extreme control of details, it is not only a new work full of vitality and dynamics, its unruly spirit is fascinating, but also a perfect presentation of the brand image.2023 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
