Richard Mille - RM 50-03 McLaren F1

Produced in partnership with the renowned McLaren Formula 1 racing car manufacturer, the new Richard Mille masterpiece sets an extraordinary record for the lightest mechanical chronograph ever created.

The RM 50-03 McLaren F1 combines a tourbillon with a split-seconds chronograph and weighs less than 40 grams including a new strap.

This stunning result is achieved through the use of cutting-edge technical materials. The design not only combines titanium and carbon TPT, but also introduces a completely new material to the world of watchmaking: Graph TPT, commonly known as graphene.

These new applications for the material have emerged through research at the National Graphene Institute, established in 2015 at the University of Manchester. It was here that Professor Andre Geim of the School of Physics and Astronomy first isolated graphene back in 2004. For this discovery, he was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics together with his colleague Professor Konstantin Novoselov. high quality watches replica

Thanks to a collaboration between the University of Manchester, McLaren Applied Technologies and long-term partner North Thin Ply Technology (NTPT), Richard Mille has successfully produced a watch case in which the physical properties of carbon TPT carbon material are improved. Significantly enhanced. Graphene is a revolutionary nanomaterial that is six times lighter than steel and 200 times stronger.

Carbon TPT is known for its beautiful undulating stripes on its surface, which are made up of parallel filaments – in fact, it has a maximum thickness of 30 microns and a total of 600 layers. The materials are impregnated with a super-strong resin containing graphene and then compiled by a CNC machine that changes the direction of the fibers by 45° from layer to layer.

The composite was then cured by heating to 120°C under 6 Bar pressure. Extensive control and validation testing at McLaren Applied Technologies made it possible to develop a solution that resulted in Graph TPT, a material used exclusively by Richard Mille in watchmaking. replica Grand Seiko Watches

Ultra-light may not be enough to describe a 7-gram movement - yes, no typo: only 7 grams! The secret to its light weight lies in the use of grade 5 titanium and TPT carbon fiber in the chassis and bridges, as well as the extreme hollowing out of the components. Vibrates 21,600 times per hour and provides a 70-hour power reserve.

The watchmaking craftsmanship of this movement can be seen everywhere, with brushed, polished, satin-brushed and soft-polished surfaces all crafted by hand.

A transverse cage made of carbon TPT, inspired by the wishbone suspension structure of the McLaren-Honda Formula 1 car, is fixed to the case and supports the entire RM50-03 movement. replica luxury watches

By eliminating the case ring, this unusual construction achieves a perfect fit between movement and case. Taken together, these technical solutions offer enormous potential for complex movements.
resistance characteristics. In fact, in tests by Richard Mille, the case was able to withstand an impact load of 5,000 grams.

In order to perform its task without fail, the combination of the tourbillon escapement and the split-seconds function in a single mechanism requires perfect energy transmission. The consequent need to reduce friction led to research on how to improve the tooth profiles on the barrel and gear train, thereby achieving perfectly balanced torque and optimized yield.

The performance of the movement and the quality of the energy delivered can be easily read via colored indicators indicating the 70-hour power reserve and the torque sensor.quality replicas watches

The hollow pushers of the chronograph represent the air intake ducts of the McLaren Honda cars, while the shape of the crown references the racing rims used by the British team.

The design of a new split-seconds mechanism and extensive research into the workings of the split-seconds clamp have resulted in a 50% reduction in the chronograph’s energy consumption while reducing arbor friction.

While previous Richard Mille chronographs have traditionally featured 8-column wheels, the RM 50-03 is equipped with a wheel that now has only 6 columns to ensure optimized synchronized movement, maximum functional locking and greater regulatory durability.

The case (44.50mm x 49.65mm x 16.10mm) is water-resistant to 50 meters/165 feet and is assembled from 20 grade 5 titanium spline screws, allowing for better control of the torque applied to the screws during assembly, Make it immune to physical manipulation during assembly or disassembly.

Graphene is also incorporated into the rubber strap of the RM 50-03 to increase its elasticity and wear resistance. Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar replica
