Pass the roof pink!

Golf is a great testing ground for our watches because it is a physically demanding sport. On the wrist of a great hitter like Bubba Watson, the watch has to be able to withstand the stress of hard stops and hard acceleration... These were all part of the consideration when designing the RM 38-02 - but not only...!

"I've been pushing Richard to buy a pink watch for ten years, and here it is!" said Bubba Watson when he first saw the RM 38-02.

Inspired by the boldness of previous signature Bubba Watson and his "lucky" colors, the RM 38-02 is built around a carbon TPT® baseplate, which consists of multiple layers of parallel carbon filaments. This material, which is ubiquitous in RM 38-02, is very demanding in terms of processing, both because of its hardness and because it undergoes skeletonization. As for the whole watch, we have carried out a number of extensive tests on the baseplate to ensure that its skeletonization does not affect its mechanical properties.fashion replica watches

The baseplate supports grade 5 titanium bridges that power the movement. They firmly hold the involute gear and the tourbillon with the variable inertia balance. The open bridge consists of two tubes that run through the movement from both sides. Grade 5 titanium and hand-painted in coveted pink further accentuate the overall lines of the movement. The color is a nod to Bubba's iconic Ping driver and brings a subtle pink to the movement. The colour is also present on the massive micro-perforated bridges on the back of the movement, echoing the pattern on the drivers' heads that Bubba uses in the race. The assembly of these PVD-treated bridges does not allow the watchmaker to make even the slightest mistake. An awkward gesture, the slightest scratch on one spot, and the component is simply boxed. nec plus ultra demands ultra performance strictly.

Over the years, developments in physics and technology have dramatically changed the face of golf. New training techniques mean these athletes hit the ball farther. The advent of new manufacturing processes, such as the discovery of new materials, has made club manufacturing now at the forefront of technology. Given the acceleration of today's golf balls as high as 50,000 grams, it was critical to ensure that the RM 38-02 could withstand shocks of up to 10,000 grams. These volumes are staggering on a caliber scale of about 9.19mm thick. Engineers paid particular attention to its dimensions to provide a strong architectural dimension, expressing its complexity and the compactness required for earthquake resistance.discount replica watches

is pink. Without a doubt, the new RM 38-02 Tourbillon Bubba Watson fits the bill. Inside and out, the watch and even the case are crafted from the unique pink Quartz TPT®, white Quartz TPT® and Carbon TPT® that complement Bubba's quirky personality. Correlating the different colours and materials without merging was a real technical challenge. However, from day one of the collaboration, the model embodies Bubba's deepest desires. This asymmetrical case now fulfills a wish, tapering between 2 and 5 o'clock and eliminating any friction with the torque-limiting crown on the wrist. The openworked bezel provides visual power and accentuates the watch’s sporty feel, while the Carbon TPT® and pink Quartz TPT® straps provide a fantastic contrast of genres that ultimately define the identity of this colorful watch. The RM 38-02 Tourbillon Bubba Watson is the fourth watch in the collection to bear the Bubba name, a 10-year collaboration between the athlete and the Richard Mille family. A limited edition of 50 pieces, it's almost the equivalent of a hole-in-one in watchmaking.

color pink
Pink is the color Bubba has been fascinated by since he was a child. Initially, it expressed his desire to stand out from the crowd when he was young. It has since become his trademark, adorning his clubs, golf balls, his signature driver and his clothing. Bubba also uses his signature pink color to fulfill other dreams, raising the profile of the causes he supports through his charitable pledges.wholesale replica watches

Carbon Fiber TPT® and Pink Quartz TPT® Strap
The case of the RM 38-02 with fixed carbon fiber TPT® base plate is made of the same material, here combined with pink quartz TPT® fiber. Combining the different colours and materials so skillfully was no small technical challenge. To complete the piece, grooves on the case visually extend the opening on the bezel.

Asymmetric case
Silica filaments up to 45 microns thick are saturated with a pink matrix specially developed for Richard Mille. They were then stacked by an automated deposition system that changed the orientation of the fibers by 45° between layers of white and pink silica. The asymmetrical shape of the case ensures optimum comfort and prevents the dynamometric crown from rubbing against the wrist.MB&F LMX LEGACY MACHINE X STEEL & BRASS 08.SL.B

Carbon TPT® Base Plate
Machining the cutout of this cutout board is a masterpiece of engineering. The main components of the RM 38-02 are subjected to a series of extreme tests to confirm its mechanical properties, such as the shock resistance of the tourbillon movement up to 10,000 grams.

Grade 5 Titanium Bridge
The baseplate supports PVD-treated grade 5 titanium bridges that power the movement. The minute bridge contains two rods that run through both sides of the movement. Also made of grade 5 titanium and hand-painted, their lines visually accentuate the power emanating from the movement, with monumental micro-perforated bridges reminiscent of the pattern that adorns the Bubba driver’s head.replica Jacob and Co.
