Massa pushes watchmakers forward
Brazilian racing driver Felipe Massa is one of Richard Mille's longest-standing sports partners, working with the brand 15 years ago. For this luxury watchmaker, it was a dream collaboration that allowed them to initiate and accomplish an astonishing feat of watchmaking development. replica Richard Mille Felipe Massa
The Swiss brand is known for testing watches on the sports fields where its partners are located. Founder and owner Richard Mille was passionate about motorsport and technology, so Felipe Massa presented the perfect opportunity to develop and improve his new timepiece. The track proved to be the perfect environment to test the cutting-edge technology the brand uses to make its watches.
In fact, Richard Mille insists that the Swiss brand's sporting partners wear his watches at competitions - a condition of his. This provides valuable real-time feedback and data, allowing brands to continuously innovate, especially in the development of new materials.
Such information means that brands can confidently design and produce practical, durable and highly sophisticated luxury watches. This shows that the brand has achieved extraordinary success in such a short period of time. Their products are known for using the latest technology, unique aesthetics and architectural designs, while being robust and easy to use.replica Bremont Kingsman watches
Function over form in Richard Mille watches - each component used performs a specific task. This is a combination of very high-end timepieces and the future, a fusion of tradition and innovation. For added assurance and quality, each piece is finished and assembled by hand.
No wonder so many sports stars wear the brand while competing, believing in the precision and reliability of their watches.
The partnership with Massa apparently started when Formula 1 drivers at the time were looking for a watch that could withstand high gravity in track conditions while being extremely light and easy to wear. The first watch to bear his name was the RM 006 Felipe Massa, which weighed only 43 grams.
It featured a new movement base plate made of carbon nanofiber, a radical innovation at the time. This has led to the widespread use of carbon nanofibers in the RM Tourbillon collection. Designed to withstand the intense accelerations and vibrations of the F1 Grand Prix, this watch became the template for many haute horoscopes dedicated to lightness.
In 2005, Richard Mille launched the RM 009 Tourbillon Felipe Massa, the lightest tourbillon watch produced at the time, weighing 29 grams without a strap. It is made using two world premieres - an ALUSIC® case and a skeletonised movement made of aluminium lithium. Ultra-light ALUSIC®, commonly used to build satellites. Using materials in this way represents years of research and development. luxury replica watches
What Richard Mille set out to achieve when he started his company was symbolic: to produce incredible works of art using high-tech, prestigious machinery. Designing timepieces for those who "really appreciate fine watchmaking".
By 2007, the brand had partnered with Brazilian drivers to launch a new watch, the RM 011 Automatic Chronograph Felipe Massa. It is strongly based on the precision and high-tech engineering found in Formula 1 racing.
It is powered by the RMAC1 movement, whose skeletonized self-winding movement features a variable-geometry rotor that offers hours, minutes, seconds, flyback chronograph, 60-minute countdown, 12-hour totalizer, oversized date and annual calendar. The watch resets without stopping and provides a countdown function.
It's apparently light, using a titanium movement fastened to a case with a silent block. The watch also features aerodynamic buttons with non-slip ribbing. In racing style, the crown is like a slick tire around the spoked rim. The RM 011 is available in titanium, gold and all of Richard Mille's proprietary materials: ceramic, carbon TPT®, silicon nitride and red quartz TPT®.Audemars Piguet ROYAL OAK CONCEPT FLYING TOURBILLON GMT Green
This naturally led to the creation of a series of limited edition timepieces in the collection, including for Felipe Massa, the man who originally inspired it.
The Brazilian retired from Formula 1 in 2017 to join the electric series Formula E. He had a very successful racing career, winning 11 grands prix in his 15 seasons for Ferrari and Williams. He once claimed:
“Richard (Mille) showed me that the spirit of watchmaking and racing is the same. There are constant challenges to overcome on a technical level when making a watch of this level. Likewise, high-end watchmaking requires extreme physical and Be fully focused, not distracted."
Felipe Massa's legend on the track will live on forever. His contribution to watchmaking may even prove to be a more lasting legacy. cheap watches for sale
