Đồng hồ Richard Mille RM 17-01 Manual Winding Tourbillon

NEW SPHERES

The RM 17-01 Tourbillon is a new understanding of the RM 017, highlighting its very elegant and technic calibre through sleek, elegant lines achieved by the characteristic tonneau-shaped case. Symbolizing the Haute Horlogerie values of both tradition and excellence, the calibre RM017 integrates all our passion for mechanical innovation, illustrated there by the function and power reserve indicators or even the abundance of titanium in its heart.

Iconic signature of Richard Mille watches, the Carbon TPT® tonneau-shaped case brings the calibre RM017 to new spheres.
Sportier, it is suitable for all situations while preserving the elegance of his high-end finished movement.
Its tonneau-shape case represents an uncompromising approach, with extensive attention to all details of the case design with numerous machining operations required for the three main components (front bezel, back bezel and caseband).

INNOVATION AS A PASSION

Symbolizing the Haute Horlogerie values of both tradition and excellence, the calibre RM017 is a tourbillon movement integrating all our passion for mechanical innovation.

CALIBRE RM17-01

Manual winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes, power-reserve and function indicators.

POWER RESERVE

Circa 70 hours (± 10%).

BASEPLATE AND BRIDGES MADE OF GRADE 5 TITANIUM

The baseplate and the bridges are crafted of grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible, highly corrosion-resistant and remarkably rigid alloy, which enables the gear train to function effortlessly. The alloy is 90% grade 5 titanium, 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. This combination further increases the material’s mechanical properties, which explains its frequent use in the aerospace, aeronautics and automobile industries.

The skeletonised baseplate and the bridges were subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimise their resistance capacities.

POWER-RESERVE INDICATOR

Indicated by a scale located on a scale at 2 o’clock, the power-reserve indicator shows the number of hours of energy left in the mainspring before the watch must be wound again.

FUNCTION INDICATOR

In a manner similar to a car’s gearbox, the function indicator identifies the winding, neutral and hand-setting positions as the crown is pulled out. A hand located at 4 o’clock indicates the current position.

FREE-SPRUNG BALANCE WITH VARIABLE INERTIA

The free-sprung balance offers better reliability in the event of shocks, movement assembly or disassembly, and also guarantees better chronometric results over an extended period.

FAST-ROTATING BARREL (6 HOURS PER REVOLUTION INSTEAD OF 7.5 HOURS)

This type of barrel provides the following advantages:
• The phenomenon of periodic internal mainspring adhesion is significantly diminished, thereby increasing performance.
• Provision of an excellent mainspring delta curve with an ideal power reserve/performance and regularity ratio.

SAFETY SYSTEM WITH BLOCKING GEAR

This system protects the roller jewel of the balance as well as the winding barrel from possible overwinding.

SPLINE SCREWS IN GRADE 5 TITANIUM FOR THE BRIDGES AND CASE

This permits better control of the torque applied to screws during assembly. These screws are therefore unaffected by physical manipulation during assembly or disassembly and age well.
