Richard Mille RM 11-03 RM 011 AUTOMATIC FLYBACK

  Richard Mille RM 11-03 RM 011 AUTOMATIC FLYBACK The RM 011 has been a successful part of the Richard Mille collection since 2007 and has now undergone an extensive redesign to create this new RM 11-03. It retains all the look of Richard Mille, in keeping with the basic idea of ​​a race car on the wrist. It's very expensive, and it's closer to concept art than a watch. The RM 11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph, like almost everything from the brand, is based on contradictions. Superior engineering, aeronautical materials, innovative technical design, in a timepiece that can't actually measure elapsed time with any accuracy (see some other "illegible" chronographs here). The fifth-second scale runs along the outer edge of the dial, and the tonneau-shaped case means that the chronograph seconds hand sits directly above the scale for only brief intervals, 0, 15, 30 and 45 seconds. For the rest of the time, the tip of the second hand is far from the scale. Tachym...

De Bethune DB28 GS Grand Bleu Watch Hands-On

  De Bethune DB28 GS Grand Bleu Watch Hands-On With the replica De Bethune watches DB28 GS Grand Bleu, the brand presents what it calls "its first 100% sports watch". First, it's lovely. De Bethune has earned a reputation as a horological sculptor of sorts - for example, often carving watches from meteorites. Spaceship-like movements and more, this small but eye-catching standalone watch is one of the few who dares to go beyond the cliché of "watchmaking art" and turn it into something truly akin to art. Having said that , let's see how art and sports come together. I wouldn't stay too long on art - mostly because the "watches are like art" cliché is so bad and so overused in watch discussions that in the few cases where it might apply, it's already Controversy. In short... brand new movement, water-resistant to "over 100 meters", even in the darkest depths thanks to clever lighting inside the movement, rotating bezel, titaniu...

Greubel Forsey GMT Sport Watch

  For the first time ever, the famous replica Greubel Forsey GMT Sport is auctioned Don't be confused, just because it has "sport" in its name, the Greubel Forsey GMT Sport Watch may not be the watch you wear on the court, on the field, or on the field. That is, unless you have $500,000 on your side. Created by the ultra-high-end luxury watchmaker Greubel Forsey, the GMT Sport is an excellent example of a watch. A more streamlined case design has been chosen for this iteration of the GMT Sport, and the new version also has an updated dial colorway. The 45mm case is made of titanium with a satin-finished and polished finish. The case has a traditional round design, looking at it from the top, but from the side you will see a unique and ergonomic shape – a curve with a cabochon sapphire. The bezel also has a new look, especially the hand-finished straight-grain look. There are two buttons on the left side of the watch that control the local time zone and the second time ...

MB&F HM9 Sapphire Vision White Gold 91.SWL.RG

  Hands On: MB&F Horological Machine 9 Sapphire Vision HM9-SV Watch Over the past few years, Geneva-based replica MB&F Watches has transformed from a leader in the haute horlogerie industry's underdog league to a company with a years-long watch waiting list. Due to a variety of factors, brands like MB&F, which have been making uncompromisingly outlandish products for loyal niche fans for 20 years, have now achieved enough critical momentum to become established names with a wider base of luxury buyers . In this new phase, MB&F has been fortunate to have maintained its original enthusiasm, as well as Max Busser's high standards for product novelty and quality, understandably. It still likes to be weird, which is great too. This rare MB&F Horological Machine Number 9 Sapphire Vision is a great example. To understand the history of this glass penis, let's go back to 2018 when MB&F originally released the HM9 Flow. Horological Machine No. 9 Flow, ima...

Richard Mille RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal

Undoubtedly, Richard Mille, the preeminent manufacturer of exotic and ultra-luxury sports watches, has just unveiled a simple yet intriguing watch, the RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal.

It's a look that makes Richard Mille high quality replica watches scream, an...

NEW Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari

  Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari : Fact and Fiction Last week, Richard Mille broke the world record for the thinnest mechanical watch in the world...surprise! Traditional watchmaking competition between Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept and Bulgari Octo Finissimo is getting thinner. It seems like every other year, a brand or two announces that they've cut micromillimeters from their previous record. Recently, however, it seems that these brands have reached the limits of mechanical watch thinness. For example, in March, just ahead of the 2022 edition of Watches & Wonders, Bulgari unveiled the Octo Finissimo Ultra, which is 1.8mm thick, taking back the trophy from the 2mm-thick Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept as the world's thinnest mechanical watch . At the time, the Bulgari team told the press that they couldn't make the Octo more streamlined without sacrificing functionality. Then Richard Mille dropped the RM UP-01 Ferrari last week, with a "thickness"...

Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture

  Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture Wearing Greubel Forsey "Architecture" means wearing the city on your wrist Greubel Forsey's Tourbillon 24-Second Architecture represents a complete departure from traditional movement structures and aesthetics, and brings an architectural experience to the wrist. Despite the Swiss watchmaker's passion for innovation and pushing boundaries, Greubel Forsey has never incorporated the technology and aesthetics of one of its timepieces into the Tourbillon 24-Second Architecture. The new 24-second tourbillon architecture is not easy to understand at first glance. Its components are suspended in space, revealing a harmonious combination of surfaces, shapes and movements. Its case begins to reveal the spectacle through a large opening on the side of the dial, containing the Greubel Forsey values ​​in relief that inspired this creation: Architecture, Harmony, Innovation, Technology, Craftsmanship, Passion, Science, Uniq...

However, we have yet to come across a watch with oil-soaked dial and mechanism. Sure, we're familiar with Sinn's UX watches or pricier models like the Ressence Type 3 and 5, but on U-Boat it's a relatively new model that debuted in December 2018.

Richard Mille RM 011 Asia Exclusive White NTPT Carbon Chronograph Ceramic

  Richard Mille RM 11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph Despite the crude delivery, sometimes a message still resonates with irrefutable truth. That's the case with an interesting video made by YouTube experts with an accent from an out-of-province borough of Manhattan. Here's what he said: "When you wear a Richard Mille, everyone around you knows you have 100 Grands on your wrist, and you can spend 100 Grands like a chronograph. Most spend that much. People with money want a perpetual calendar or even a tourbillon.” What he means is that you have the confidence to wear what you want without worrying about relative value — and of course the means to buy it. But what he doesn't say is that the size of the waiting list is driven by an overwhelming wave of desire for the watch in question - the Richard Mille RM 11-03 - and you also have to be very lucky to be able to own one. For example, the blue Quartz TPT RM 11-03 Jean Todt chronograph. What he didn't say is that...
