zelin0802 / March 13, 2023

The RM 53-01 is the ‘amazing’ new result of Richard Mille’s encounter with one of the best players in the world, Pablo Mac Donough. Dynamic and dynamic, this watch is equipped with a suspended tourbillon movement and is unobstructed through the unprecedented laminated sapphire glass of the Carbon TPT® case.

“Polo is a dangerous game, with heavy impacts. It’s a very elegant game and it’s a contact sport,” explains Richard Mille.
“Given that Pablo has suffered multiple fractures during his career, I asked our team to design a watch that would resist the many types of shocks that occur during polo matches, while leaving the movement visible.”replica swiss watches

Realizing that ordinary glass would not provide the necessary resistance to the blow of a mallet, the brand’s engineers teamed up with world-renowned sapphire specialist Stettler to produce laminated glass inspired by current practice in the automotive sector. This glass is made of polyethylene film The use of a glass consisting of two separate pieces of sapphire glass constitutes a first in the horological world. Faced with the intense shock wave from a mallet strike, the glass will crack, but not shatter. This glass has an anti-reflective and UV coating that protects the movement from the external environment and is a patent-pending Richard Mille exclusive.

Embellished with notches that reinforce its structural integrity, the case is machined from Carbon TPT®, an exceptionally tough and virtually indestructible protection known for its exceptional resistance to micro-cracks and tears. The inlaid luster characteristic of Carbon TPT® and the sharp lines of the case emphasize the particularly sporty character of this replica mens watch.

Richard Mille’s solution to the external impact of the tourbillon was to suspend the movement with cables. The atypical architecture of this design requires the creation of two separate backplanes. The first or “peripheral” plate is secured to the case and supports the tensioner. The second, known as the “central” plate, is connected by cables to the peripheral plates and incorporates the wheels that make up the movement and winding mechanism.

Like a spider in the middle of a spider’s web, the central baseplate is supported on two braided steel cables with a diameter of only 0.27 mm. These cables outline a three-dimensional structure in their path through 10 pulleys, held in place by 4 tensioners. watchmaker in charge.luxury replica watches

The cables are tensioned by turning the spline screw located in the center of each tensioner. By ensuring evenly distributed tension, this pulley system guarantees perfect balance of the entire mechanism.

The suspended movement and the use of grade 5 titanium (double baseplate and bridges) contribute to increased rigidity while ensuring smooth running of the travel train and optimum shock protection.
