Richard Mille RM 52-06 Tourbillon Skeleton Watch
The actual Richard Mille RM 52-06 Tourbillon Mask was launched some time ago as a limited edition for your Americas and I was able to obtain my hands on the White Quartz TPT model lately. The Rorschach test from the mask is not only an visual imprint, it is also fully incorporated with the movement and tourbillon. This plain white edition is finished in a Quartz TPT (Thin Ply Technology) real estate done by Richard Mille's companion North Thin Ply Technology. For those unfamiliar, it is an ultra-light and very strong material created by layering very fine thin-layered silica fiber bundles to produce a mosaic look. It is a really light and strong materials that would otherwise be used for aviators, boating and sports.
The first Richard Mille RM 052 Tourbillon Skull watch was released in this. Skulls can be a tiresome topic, but Richard Mille offers clearly taken it past the usual, with titanium skulls serving as baseplates as well as bridges, while the upper and lower oral cavity hold the ruby tourbillon crate. When discussing the RM 52-06 skull, the brand requires " Has anyone seen the luchador, a kabuki cover up, a superhero or even a gladiator helmet? "
With the integration of the head and movement (remember the actual skull itself serves as the particular wheel train and tourbillon bridge), the back of the brain serves as the central link. All eight titanium connections connecting the skull towards the case are sandblasted and also bevelled and visible through the back. These bridges are grade 5 titanium and they are made from one piece.

The particular RM 052 movement had been recently used in the RM 52-05 tourbillon developed by Rich Mille in collaboration along with Pharrell, and you can find it underneath the skull of the RM 52-06. Hand-wound skeleton movement together with free-spring balance of adjustable inertia (meaning greater surprise resistance and better accuracy over time), a fast-rotating barrel that takes six hours per revolution rather than 7. 5 hours (improves mainspring and overall performance), barrel pawl with intensifying recoil, and wound clip or barrel teeth and third steering wheel pinion with central involute profile (improves torque move and overall performance) ). The RM 052 operates at 21, 600 vph and has a power reserve associated with 42 hours.
I want to go back to the quartz TPT material used to develop the case. It's been explained many times, but I found an vive and informative passage within the Richard Mille website concerning the process I wanted to share:
Quartz fibers in many cases are used in very high performance programs due to their high temperature resistance, power and transparency to electromagnetic waves. These fibers tend to be specially arranged in levels no thicker than forty five microns and dipped in any resin specially developed with regard to Richard Mille. The tiers are then stacked utilizing an automated positioning system which changes the fiber direction between each layer through 45°. After being warmed to 120°C and put through a pressure of 6th bar, they are processed upon CNC machines in the Rich Mille manufacturing facility. Carbon TPT® is made from the same process however from carbon wire.
For most people, the Richard Mille RM 52-06 Tourbillon Mask is a puzzling device that almost has to have some sort of nine-figure net worth to be valued. That's basically true whenever we're talking about a brand that will dominates the watch world solely. You can imagine the types of people who make-up a group of friends who you know what the mask looks like, correct? That's the big attraction.
