Richard Mille RM 028 Brown Watch

The Bushido Code - Introducing the Richard Mille RM 47 Tourbillon

Most people act within some sort of moral code of their own, but few go to the extremes of Bushido, which governs their attitudes, behavior, and way of life. Richard Mille's friend and partner is two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso, a fan of traditional Japanese arts and samurai. It was during a conversation with founder Richard Mille that Alonso's dedication and understanding of the samurai philosophy inspired the watchmaker to collaborate with a team of artisans from haute horology and craftsmanship to conceive an entirely new project that would take nearly four years time to be realized.best Swiss replica watches

Limited to 75 pieces, the new RM47 features golden samurai armor and sword, painstakingly hand-carved and painted by husband-and-wife team Pierre-Alain and Valérie Lozeron. Each piece took 16 hours to engrave, followed by 9 hours of hand painting. The armor is made of 3N gold and features the Asano clan, which many scholars believe symbolizes the true Bushido spirit. Each clan has a heraldic symbol known as the kemon, and the Asano kemon are two crossed falcon feathers to express power and authority in battle. It is featured on the tourbillon at six o'clock and on the winglets of the warrior's helmet. Another important symbol of Japan, the maple leaf, which once represented elegance, beauty and the brevity of life, appears on the winding crown.luxury watches replicas

Artisan engraver Pierre-Alain Lozeron said: "Between the sword and the chisel, between the edge of the blade and the cut defined by the precision of the engraver's technique, there are many similarities that evoke the quality and the quality required of these warriors The resemblance between them is through our artistic craftsmanship.” Armor wraps around the sides of the hand-wound movement RM47, best seen from the front, protecting it with a sheathed katana. The baseplate and skeletonized bridges of the hours and minutes movement are made of grade 5 titanium, an alloy commonly used in the aerospace industry, and are treated with black PVD.high quality replica watches

The case of the RM47 is a barrel-shaped three-piece construction with a 3N yellow gold case to which a black TZP ceramic bezel and case back are attached. It is one of the hallmarks of Richard Mille past, present and future; the fusion of centuries-old craftsmanship and philosophy with cutting-edge technology and materials. But this watch is all about the ancient serenity and discipline of the samurai, and the artisans who worked on it seem very Zen about the whole project: "The spirituality and values associated with the samurai world are not entirely new to us. On my workbench When I work, it's as if I'm in suspended animation, almost a meditative state. There are many similarities that can be evoked between the sword and the chisel, between the point of the blade and the cut defined by the precision of the carver's technique. The parallels between the qualities exhibited by these warriors and those required by our artistic craft."cheap watch replicas
