Bokey TimeThe Richard Mille RM52-01 features a true tourbillon, redefining the essence of the iconic skull design. It overcomes the flaws seen in previous versions, delivering highly accurate dimensions, a genuine movement, and exceptional detailing.
Reasons to own:
- Accurate Dimensions: Official size is 50 × 43 × 16 mm, while this version measures 49.8 × 44.3 × 16.4 mm, offering a highly comparable wrist presence.
- Functional Ruby Bearing: The ruby set in the skull’s mouth is a real tourbillon bearing rather than a decorative element. It aligns with the central axis of the tourbillon, creating the visual effect of the skull “holding” an energy core, bringing the original sci-fi concept to life.
- Refined Details: The inner case engraving matches the original RM052 marking. The gear proportions in the right eye are closely replicated, and the central forehead gem appears vivid and transparent. Finished with a matte clasp and imported rubber strap.
- Precise Movement Alignment: With the tourbillon positioned and sized in line with the original, the movement can be clearly observed from the back. From the front, the balance wheel is partially hidden beneath the skull’s jaw, leaving the escapement visible beneath the skull for a dynamic visual effect.
- Inside and Out Excellence: Equipped with a custom-built tourbillon movement, each piece undergoes rigorous timekeeping tests under high-intensity simulation. Enhanced water resistance adds to its practicality.
Another standout creation following previous complex models, combining bold design with mechanical craftsmanship. Each piece also includes a genuine leather protective pouch.
A highly detailed and visually striking timepiece crafted for those who appreciate mechanical artistry.
