Richard Mille RM 11-02 Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Hands-On
It’s hard to imagine now, but once upon a time, Richard Mille was just a small, relatively anonymous Swiss business making technically impressive timepieces for a very niche clientele, with equally impressive price tags. Some even question whether the brand can survive with high R&D costs and limited production capacity. Of course, these people didn't count on an important factor. Mr Richard Miller.
A charismatic performer who has found ways to stand out in an industry that fills them, he takes the idea of ​​a "brand ambassador" to the next level, creating increasingly complex timepieces, his high-profile Advocates can actually be worn on their wrists while they go about their daily work. Now, for a typical Richard Mille brand ambassador, those "day jobs" can range from competing on the PGA Tour to challenging the title of fastest man in the world at the Olympics. Thanks to the power of television, every second of every such occasion is captured on video and then delivered in HD quality to millions of homes around the world, causing quite a few avid fans to pick up their phones and quickly google what to best replica watch site them. The new hero wears. genius.
The RM 011 Flyback Chronograph Felipe Massa is arguably the watch that truly pioneered this phenomenon and in the process created a whole generation of die-hard Richard Mille fans. Watching one of the best Formula 1 drivers in the world (at the time) gallop down the track in another exotic location with a Richard Mille RM 011 strapped to his wrist, it was just a feeling. Of course, it certainly doesn't hurt that it's a very good-looking watch packed with the latest technology developed by the brand. A reasonable price tag (at least by Richard Mille's standards) almost completes the deal, making the RM 011 a cult watch among collectors.
Due to its continued popularity over the years, the RM 011 has undergone several iterations and updates, most recently in 2013 as the RM 011-S. However, in 2014, to the great delight of fans around the world, the RM 011 was replaced by the RM 11-02.MB&F HOROLOGICAL MACHINE HM10 DARK BULLDOG
Richard Mille RM 11-02 Flyback Chronograph Dual Time At first glance, the new RM 11-02 doesn't look very different from its popular predecessor, save for a slightly updated color scheme and, of course, a dual time complication. Why is that, really? After all this is one of the brand's most successful collections for the better part of the past seven years, so why mess with a proven formula? Look closely, however, and you'll quickly see that it's not just the colors on the dial that have changed a lot. After all, this is Richard Mille, a company that believes in the old adage: If you're not going forward, you're going backwards.
As I mentioned before, one of the main improvements is the addition of a double time complication. However, this is not just a job, but the result of a completely new movement, the RMAC2, which replaces the original movement, the RMAC1. In addition to the features offered by the RM 011, including a flyback chronograph, an annual calendar with an oversized date, a 60-minute countdown timer and a 24-hour totalizer, the RM 11-02 also adds a UTC function for indicating a second time zone with Super -Luminova is full of hands.
Now, the dual time indicator is certainly not revolutionary, but for many (myself included) it marks the final piece of the puzzle for an already very functional watch, especially one that was originally designed to appear in the event of an event. Watch in multiple locations around the world. The functions of the watch are only useful when they are easy to use, so instead of overcomplicating things by forcing the wearer to use the crown to set a second time zone, a convenient button has been added to the side of the rectangle - the one at 9 o'clock. Sculpted case. This allows you to quickly and easily advance the GMT hand in one-hour increments without removing the watch. Best of all, it doesn't detract from the overall aesthetic of the classic RM 11 case, which means it's still very comfortable on the wrist.Jacob & Co. ASTRONOMIA TOURBILLON GALAXY
The PVD-treated titanium movement features two winding barrels and a self-winding oscillating weight of variable geometry, providing a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. Meanwhile, the distinctive triple case requires 68 different stamping operations for the three main components (bezel, midsection and caseback), each of which takes 8, 5 and 5 days to machine. Days of machine tuning. The end result is of course a highly recognizable, extremely strong and extremely lightweight tornado case measuring 50.00 x 42.70 x 16.15 mm.
Probably the most intriguing, though, at least in my opinion, is the dial. While a little overwhelming at first, given the incredible amount of information on display, the clever use of contrasting colors can quickly help you get your bearings. Below 12 o'clock is an oversized date display that complements the semi-instantaneous month display indicated by Arabic numerals between 4 and 5 o'clock. When the flyback chronograph is activated, the two subdials at 6 and 9 o’clock simultaneously track the elapsed hours and minutes, while the elapsed seconds are tracked by the central seconds hand. The subdial at 9 o'clock also provides the added function of a countdown timer. This is achieved by replacing the traditional minute hand of the 60-minute counter with a skeletonized disc that allows the user to read the elapsed and remaining minutes. Of course, in addition to the standard time display, the last feature is a UTC indicator that tracks the second time zone.
The Richard Mille RM 11-02 Flyback Chronograph Dual Time replica watches for sale is easy to use, easy to read, and most importantly, well-made, a good continuation of the successful tradition started by its predecessor.
