Richard Mille RM 71-01 replica

VISUAL AND TECHNICAL MAGIC

This collection was created by Cécile Guenat, Creative and Development Director. She met this challenge by overcoming technical obstacles, freeing herself from consensus and establishing a unique and resolutely contemporary style.

The ten variations on the RM 71-01 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman weave together the supreme technicity specific to Richard Mille and the sculptural universe of fine jewellery.
Talisman, a name that evokes nothing less than magical protection. This collection was born from a magnetic alchemy at the intersection of Tribal arts and Art Deco.

‘My work is the fruit of very different influences. In designing this collection, I drew not only on Art Deco, but on the Tribal arts—masks, African sculptures, etc.—whose impact on all great modern and contemporary artists has been enormous. The contrasts, geometry, and sacred character of these objects fascinate me all the more because they prefigured today’s design through the fusion of content and form,’ confides Cécile Guenat. Richard Mille RM 71-01 replica
The gem-set dials mounted at the centre of the movement suggest masks, tiaras, even ritual artefacts. The dials evoke two distinct universes: one more plant-based and the other more urban.

The shape of the dials, already defined by the decision to crown the tourbillon based on the design of the baseplate, left many options for setting and engraving the case. A formal play that extends the lines of the dial to the bezel, the case and the caseback.

Each dial, a mere 0.9 mm in thickness, is hand set with mother-of-pearl, onyx and diamonds. This component is an immense technical challenge because of the many different finishing operations required: sandblasting, polishing, setting… and all this in a very small area arranged on several levels.
Microblasted grade 5 titanium with PVD treatment gives great rigidity to the baseplate, as well as precise surface flatness which is essential for the perfect functioning of the gear train. Bridges are also in grade 5 titanium, microblasted and with black electroplasma treated.

The skeletonised baseplate and bridges have been subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimise their resistance capacities.
This type of balance wheel represents the ultimate in innovation. It guarantees greater reliability when subjected to shocks and during movement assembly or disassembly, hence better chronometric results over time. The regulator index is eliminated, and a more accurate and repeatable calibration is possible thanks to 4 small, adjustable weights located directly on the balance.

Richard Mille RM 071-02 Replica

The new Richard Mille RM 71-02 replica RM 71-02 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman erupts in coloured stones, drawing on the untamed energy and raw glamour of the 1970s, and the timeless and indomitable freedom this decade represents. These are the years most closely identified with the rise of club culture, the roots of electronic and disco music, and an urban tribe that showed its most brilliant plumage only after sunset. Richard Mille’s Director of Creation and Development Cécile Guenat was inspired by the heightened expression of disco-era individualism, a hyper-realistic synthesis of light, sound and colour that defined slices of 1970s culture such as the throbbing beat of a hit single, the theatrical interiors of Studio 54, glittering lamé and sequin-strewn fashions.
Microblasted grade 5 titanium with PVD treatment lends great rigidity to the baseplate and the bridges, as well as the precise surface flatness essential for perfect functioning of the gear train.

The skeletonised baseplate and bridges were subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimise their resistance capacities.
This variable-geometry rotor has been incorporated within the in-house CRMT1 calibre, making it possible to set the rotor according to the owner’s activity level.

The setting is modified by adjusting the two moveable weights into the correct position and fixing them in place with spline screws. The inertia of the movement is increased when the two weights are closer together; the barrel then rewinds more quickly. If the weights are positioned at the extremities of the rotor, the inertia is decreased and the barrel winds more slowly.
This type of balance wheel represents the ultimate in innovation. It guarantees greater reliability when subjected to shocks and during movement assembly or disassembly, hence better chronometric results over time.

The regulator index is eliminated, and a more accurate and repeatable calibration is possible thanks to 4 small, adjustable weights located directly on the balance.
The new RM 71-02 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman collection consists of ten fully gem-set models, each limited to 7 pieces, differing in their assortment of stones, their setting design and the decorative dial plate at their centre. They all contain the self-winding in-house CRMT1 tourbillon calibre with a diamond-set oscillating weight.

The 10 variations on the snow and grain settings bring together different textures, diameters and faceting, achieving freedom of expression all over the front bezel and caseband, whereas the caseback is engraved with matt bands.
The case, crafted in white gold, is composed of 75% gold, 4% silver and a high palladium content of 17% to provide white brilliance.
No less than 44 different stamping operations are required for the three main components of the case (bezel, caseband and caseback). The machine tooling process requires 2 days of adjustment for each component (bezel, caseband and caseback). The empty case involves over 255 tooling operations and more than 5 hours of glazing and polishing for the final phase. The complex shape of the case is obtained thanks to a 5-axis machine.
Each dial, a mere 0.9 mm in thickness, is handset with ornamentals and coloured stones. This component is an immense technical challenge because of the many different finishing operations required: sandblasting, polishing, setting… and all this in a very small area arranged on several levels. The dials draw on two distinct universes: one more plant-based and the other more urban.
omplementing the RM 71-02 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman collection is a full series of coloured metallic patent leather, embossed with understated botanical motifs at 12 o’clock and geometric motifs at 6 o’clock to set off their jewelled cases.

The design anticipates straps that exhibit two different tonal each, starting with one colour above the case and ending with a contrasting shade. In keeping with the underlying inspiration, the colour contrasts are paired with materials that play on light and texture. In another first in a Richard Mille collection, metallic leather treatment reinforce the impact of the coloured stones, channelling the glamour of 1970s fashion.

Richard Mille RM 72-01 Replica

Using terms like “entry-level” or “mid-range” always feels a bit disingenuous when discussing Richard Mille, as even the brand’s simplest creations are technically advanced and stratospherically priced. When the time comes to replace one of Richard Mille’s mid-range staples, then, expectations are understandably high. After the recent discontinuation of the cornerstone RM 11 flyback chronograph series, fans of the marque have been left wondering what would replace it in the lineup. Now, Richard Mille has given the world a look at the first iteration of its next-generation manufacture flyback chronograph: the RM 72-01. Released with no shortage of fanfare, including a literal song and dance routine from renowned composer Thomas Roussel, choreographer Benjamin Millepied, and the London Symphony Orchestra, the Richard Mille RM 72-01 Lifestyle In-House Chronograph maintains the brand’s signature look while debuting some truly groundbreaking horological innovations.
The RM 72-01 maintains the brand’s signature curved tonneau case form held together with 20 spline screws, here sized at 38.4mm by 47.3mm. Available in grade 5 titanium, 5N red gold, black ceramic, and white ceramic variants, this familiar form is filled with detailed touches like a rubberized crown topped with a detailed red gold and black ceramic signature, along with aggressive pentagonal pushers made from a mix of red gold and black ceramic for a dramatic visual highlight. As with all Richard Mille models, the RM 72-01 offers a wide sapphire display back for an unimpeded view of the new in-house movement within, while maintaining a slightly underwhelming 30-meter water resistance.
Where the case design of the Richard Mille RM 72-01 feels familiar to the brand’s signature look, the dial design innovates the skeletal Richard Mille style into new and expressive forms. Abandoning the traditional 3-6-9 o’clock three register layout of the RM 11 series chronographs, the RM 72-01 instead places its subdials at 1 o’clock, 5 o’clock, and a small seconds at 9 o’clock. The result, coupled with the sweeping curves of the titanium skeleton dial bridges, looks alien, almost biological in design. The futuristic rose gold dauphine hands feel almost like thorns in this context, supported by arrow tipped chronograph and small seconds hands that have been color-coded for visual drama as much as easy reference at a glance. Three bold applied Arabic numerals at 11 o’clock, 3 o’clock, and 8 o’clock help to solidify this unorthodox, organic sense of symmetry, accented by a vertical skeleton date window at 5 o’clock.
The real gem of the Richard Mille RM 72-01, however, is the movement. Richard Mille has developed an all-new manufacture movement for this series, the Calibre CRMC1 automatic flyback chronograph movement. The titanium Calibre CRMC1 is a testbed for several advancements in horology, most notably Richard Mille’s patented new oscillating pinion chronograph coupling system. By connecting the traditional column wheel engaging mechanism to a series of two oscillating pinions connected to rockers, all three chronograph hands receive torque directly from the mainspring barrel, rather than routing this energy through the base movement. The result is that timekeeping for the base movement is completely unaffected by the use of the chronograph, and the movement’s 50-hour power reserve at a 28,800 bph beat rate remains steady regardless of chronograph usage. In addition, the Calibre CRMC1 boasts a shock-resistant free-sprung balance, a compact bidirectional platinum winding rotor, and a faster rotating mainspring barrel that completes its cycle once every five hours for smoother power delivery and reduced internal mainspring adhesion. Of course, the skeletonized bridges and plates featuring micro-blasted surfaces and hand-polished chamfers are a visual spectacle as much as a mechanical one. Like most of the brand’s models, Richard Mille pairs the RM 72-01 with an integrated tapering rubber strap, in either black or white.
While the aggressive bio-futuristic look may not be for everyone, the sheer mechanical prowess of the Richard Mille RM 72-01 is undeniably impressive as the brand moves forward into a new decade. The Richard Mille RM 72-01 Lifestyle In-House Chronograph is available now through authorized dealers,

Time can be controlled and ordered according to aspirations. A reflection of the soul, the act of creation is born from a powerful desire for renewal and an exploration of places hitherto unknown .

Maintaining the rhythm, creating a singularly personal tempo, that is Richard Mille, the ultimate virtuoso of movement, reinventing itself with each new creation, performing its own choreography, and never dancing to that of another.

The RM 72-01 Lifestyle Automatic Chronograph now sees the light of day. Whilst adopting all the design codes of its time, it also embodies and synthesises the know-how accumulated by Richard Mille over the last 20 years. Singular, yet timeless, and equipped with the brand’s first in-house chronograph featuring a patented design, it provides perfect harmony, weaving together tradition and modernity.

This new type of flyback chronograph, patented by Richard Mille, splitting the torque generated across the chronograph’s various counters. The display and the connection to the minutes and hours are thus disengaged from the chronograph’s seconds wheel. The performance of this chronograph is superlative. Drawing power directly from the barrel to supply the chronograph’s three counters, the enhanced energy is transmitted to the chronograph train by a coupling system consisting of two oscillating pinions mounted on rockers, controlling the start, stop, flyback and reset functions.
The rockers are activated by a 6-column wheel whose construction optimises the simultaneity of actions and the proper latching of functions, whilst ensuring the longevity of the settings.

This invention constitutes a major advancement in the calculation of times. Less sensitive to disturbance and less voluminous than standard mechanisms, the disassociation of the chronograph function from daily time measurement means that the rate of the base movement is entirely unaffected when the chronograph is activated.

longines heritage classic chronograph

The quintessence of classicism in watchmaking Today, Longines combines the original beauty of the most remarkable of its former products with cutting-edge watchmaking technology. The Heritage models are a tribute to the pioneering spirit that has inspired Longines designers since the company’s early days.

The Heritage models are a tribute to the pioneering spirit that has inspired Longines designers since the company’s early days.
Inside is the cal. L895.5, which is actually an ETA A31.L21 made exclusively by ETA for Longines. The ETA A31.L21, in turn, is actually the widely used modular chronograph made up of an ETA 2892 with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module on top. While the movement is widely used, the version here is an upgraded variant made for Longines, in keeping with its parent company Swatch Group’s practice of retaining upgraded movements for only its own brands.
While the original is a bit of an odd watch visually, the remake looks good. The Heritage Classic Chronograph 1946 is nearly identical to the original, save for its size and importantly, the shape of the hands, which make quite a difference. As with most remakes, the 1946 has been bulked up to 40mm, still a good, manageable size. The 1946 has an entirely polished case, with faceted lugs that are polished on both faces.
At its price point, the design and build quality of Longines remakes are extremely compelling, and the 1946 chronograph is no different. The styling is spot-on; Longines smartly kept it sweet and simple, avoiding any retro affectation beyond being a historical remake. And the quality of the case and dial are simple, but solid, and the improved ETA movement is an advantage over the competition (which has to rely on the non-upgraded movements, at least for now).

Longines Legend Diver Watch

The Longines Weems Second-Setting Watch, a tribute to the navigation system devised by Captain Philip van Horn Weems, and the Longines Twenty-Four Hours, a re-issue of a watch designed especially for Swissair pilots in the 1950s, also feature among the stars of the Heritage models. Print informations Download instructions Longines Legend Diver Replica Watch
Time and Watches Tuesday, 3 November 2020 Longines presented two new versions of its successful Legend Diver, a reissue of a 1960s diving watch of the brand. Available in Italy as a world premiere, the new models are characterised by blue and brown dials that darken to a subtly gradated black toward the outside.
Before diving into the actual feeling of wearing the watch, let’s understand the roots of “my” model, the Longines Legend Diver reference L3-674-4, also known as the “LLD” among its numerous enthusiasts. It all started in the late 1950s with the Longines Nautilus Skin Diver.
The Legend Diver has been a cornerstone of the brand’s lineup ever since, and despite its status as a potential spearhead for the entire retro diver movement Longines has never intersected the Legend Diver with the other popular modern dive watch trend of bronze case material.
Another example is the watch that I review here, the Longines Legend Diver. Approximately 50 years ago, Longines had a very similar diver watch, with an automatic caliber 290 Longines movement inside. This 42-mm Longines Diver watch had dimensions that are similar to the current Longines Legend Diver watch.

Longines Heritage Classic

Longines is on fire with its Longines Heritage collection… No doubt about that. After the delightful Classic Sector Dial, the Military 1938, the Heritage Military and many, many more watches paying tribute to the brand’s past, today there is a new collection that will make quite an entrance. Inspired by the 1940s, with two-tone sector dials (hence the ‘Tuxedo’ name), great proportions, powerful movements and, let’s be honest, a very attractive look, here’s the new Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Collection, with small seconds and chronograph watches.
Founded in 1832, Longines is one of the oldest brands of the Swiss watch industry still in activity. As such, you can imagine that its heritage collection is wide and constitutes an immense source of inspiration for today’s designers – we can’t really blame them since the market wants vintage-inspired watches and Longines is certainly very good at it.
Following many successful models that paid homage to past models, such as early diving instruments or military pieces, the brand now looks at another angle with civilian watches from the 1940s; the so-called ‘Tuxedo’ watches due to their combination of white and black colours. In 2020, the brand resurrects two models, illustrated above, a small seconds watch from 1945 – with some military design clues (hands and case, for instance) – as well as a chronograph from 1943 – with a classic two-tone layout, Art Deco Arabic numerals and a sectorized layout.
These two watches are now reissued with a faithful and very attractive design, modernized dimensions (but not too much), powerful modern automatic movements and multiple details that will certainly appeal to vintage lovers. This new collection for 2020 is named ‘Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo’ and comprises two models that we’ll look at more closely below – both similar and different at the same time.

The Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Small Seconds
The first model in this line is a classic, elegant, old-school watch with small seconds and a bit of ‘Calatrava’ inspiration mixed with hints of a military past – something easy to understand as the original model was produced when Europe was still at war. The case of the Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Small Seconds retains the shape of the original model, with elongated lugs, a flat ‘coin-style’ bezel, fully polished surfaces, lug holes and, for the sake of modernity, a diameter of 38.50mm – which, by today’s standards, remains on the smaller side
The dial of this new model is a nod to the original version and plays well with the ‘Tuxedo’ name. It features a silver opaline central sector, with a matte surface, a recessed and snailed small seconds and, two important details, there is neither a date window nor an anachronic mention of an automatic movement on the dial. The outer sector is executed in matte black and features painted Arabic numerals (with a hint of art-deco), which are luminous. The hands are classic batons and filled with Super-LumiNova – slightly cream tinted, but not overly done. The dial is very elegant in layout and colours.
Powering this Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Small Seconds is a modern proprietary automatic movement, Calibre L893, an evolution of the classic ETA architecture. This revised version features an anti-magnetic silicon hairspring and an improved kinetic chain to increase the power reserve – the frequency has been reduced at 25,200vph and the power reserve is now 64 hours. The movement is hidden under a closed steel caseback.
The second watch in this Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo is a handsome chronograph with all the codes of the 1940s: bi-compax layout; coin-style case; rectangular pushers; two-tone sector dial; and multiple tracks on the dial to make it both elegant and functional. The case of the Tuxedo Chronograph measures 40mm in diameter, again on the smaller side for a modern watch, and is topped by a box-shaped sapphire crystal. Its finishing is slightly different from the 3-hand model, as the bezel is brushed and overall, the shape is a bit more angular – faithful to the historical model above.
Once again, the dial of the Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Chronograph is a nod to the past with a silver opaline central sector and recessed sub-counters (also opaline). The hour chapter ring is executed in black with thin Art Deco-style Arabic numerals and the dial is framed by a tachymeter scale. Compared to the small seconds version, the hands are different on this model. First, the hours and minutes are indicated by rhodium-plated leaf hands. Second, all the chronograph indications are displayed thanks to elegant blued hands. Finally, the dial of this version doesn’t feature luminous elements. Again, no date or ‘automatic’ printing on the dial.
Under the closed steel caseback is a well-known movement, the Calibre L895 – based on the brand’s calibre L888 (ETA A31) with an ETA-produced chronograph module. This automatic chronograph movement with modular architecture was specifically developed for Longines’ Heritage collection and its bi-compax layout. The updates concern the hairspring, now in silicon, and a comfortable power reserve of 54 hours.

Longines combines the original aesthetics of its most remarkable historic models with the most modern watchmaking techniques. Heritage pieces are a tribute to the innovative spirit that has driven Longines’ watchmakers from the outset, when the brand accompanied many pioneers in their adventures in the air, on land and underwater.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak TOURBILLON

When Audemars Piguet unveiled the Royal Oak in 1972, luxury timepieces were usually small and made of gold, but the brand broke these rules, forever defying with conventions, with this first luxury sports timepiece honed from steel. Its powerful look ushered in a revolutionary avant-garde style, that has since become its trademark.
Audemars Piguet released its first ever Royal Oak model with a flying tourbillon. Rather than being supported by a bridge on the dial side and a bridge on the movement side, the flying tourbillon is cantilevered, i.e. is only secured to the plate on one side so offering an unobstructed view of the mechanism on the other side.
A couple of years ago, Audemars Piguet debuted the Royal Oak Extra-Thin Tourbillon, and it came with a unique sunburst tapisserie dial that changed the look of the watch dramatically. For 2020, Audemars Piguet brings back that sunburst tapisserie dial now with the flying tourbillon.
Audemars Piguet can look back on a long history of high horology and sophisticated complications, and for its latest feat in this arena the manufacture has installed a flying tourbillon, for the first time, into its flagship Royal Oak Selfwinding collection. The new Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon, comprising three distinctive models, incorporates the recently developed Caliber 2950
This year, however, the Swiss outfit is introducing its first-ever Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon. Since the Royal Oak is an established member of the Audemars Piguet family, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out
A couple of years ago, Audemars Piguet debuted the Royal Oak Extra-Thin Tourbillon, and it came with a unique sunburst tapisserie dial that changed the look of the watch dramatically. For 2020, Audemars Piguet brings back that sunburst tapisserie dial now with the flying tourbillon.
Audemars Piguet debuts a brand new Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon 41mm, available in 3 versions, including a titanium edition. In the current Royal Oak collection, there is already a tourbillon model, however, this interpretation of the Royal Oak is hand-wound, features an ultra-thin movement and its tourbillon cage has a classic architecture, with bridges front and back.
The new Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon presents an applied 24-carat gold Audemars Piguet signature—a first in the Royal Oak collection. Made of thin layers of gold, it is achieved through a chemical process akin to 3D printing known as galvanic growth. Each letter is connected with thin links almost invisible to the eye.
Audemars Piguet has unveiled its first ever self-winding Royal Oak with a flying tourbillon. There are three models in the range of 41mm watches that have cases, bezels and integrated bracelets in stainless steel with a smoked blue tapisserie dial; titanium with sandblasted slate grey dial; and 18ct pink gold with a smoked grey sunburst tapisserie dial.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, in addition to being one of the most emblematic watches on the market, the watch that created the luxury sports watch category and one of the hottest pieces currently for sale, it has always been a playfield for Audemars Piguet, bringing most possible complications in its octagonal case.Certainly, the tourbillon is no stranger to the RO
For the occasion, the Manufacture launches three 41 mm references in stainless steel, titanium and 18-carat pink gold, all complemented with a refined dial design. The full titanium reference presents an innovative dial design. An elegant sandblasted slate grey dial, with snailing in periphery, offers an alternative to the Royal Oak’s trademark “Tapisserie” pattern.
The tourbillon regulator first found its way into the Royal Oak in 1997, with what was then a novel automatic movement with a hammer winding mechanism. Audemars Piguet has just announced the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon 41 mm , a nod to the 1997 original, but with a twist – it’s the first Royal Oak equipped with a flying tourbillon.
The new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon will be available in three different references, but before we look at them in more detail, let’s look at common points. The case for these new models measures 41mm in diameter and is slightly thicker than the aforementioned extra-thin models – at about 11.5mm.
Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Concept line can easily be not just confusing, but confounding when you first come across it.The case shape is so alien … who is it even made for?
