Richard Mille RM 50-03 McLaren F1 Produced in collaboration with the famous McLaren Formula One manufacturer, Richard Mille’s new masterpiece has created an extraordinary record for the lightest mechanical chronograph ever. The RM 50-03 McLaren F1 combines a tourbillon with a two-second chronograph and weighs less than 40 grams including the new strap. This amazing result was achieved through the use of cutting-edge technical materials. The design not only combines titanium and carbon TPT, but also introduces a new material into the watchmaking world: Graph TPT, commonly known as graphene. These new applications of the material emerged through research conducted by the National Graphene Institute established at the University of Manchester in 2015. As early as 2004, Professor Andre Geim of the School of Physics and Astronomy separated graphene for the first time here. Because of this discovery, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 with his colleague Professor Konstantin Novoselov. Thanks to the cooperation of the University of Manchester, McLaren Applied Technology and long-term partner North Thin Ply Technology (NTPT), Richard Mille has successfully produced a watch case whose carbon fiber physical properties have been significantly enhanced by the introduction of graphene It is a revolutionary nano material, 6 times lighter than steel, and 200 times stronger.Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30° Invention Piece 1 Carbon TPT is known for its beautiful, undulating stripes on its surface. It is composed of parallel filaments—in fact, there are 600 layers with a maximum thickness of 30 microns. They are impregnated with graphene-containing supercharged resin and then compiled by a CNC machine to move the direction of the fibers 45° between layers. The composite is then cured by heating it to 120°C under a pressure of 6 bar. The extensive control and verification tests carried out by McLaren Applied Technologies made it possible to develop solutions that led to the production of Graph TPT, a material specifically used by Richard Mille in the field of watchmaking. Super light may not be enough to describe a 7-gram movement-yes, not a typo: only 7 grams! The secret of light weight is the use of grade 5 titanium and carbon TPT for the bottom plate and bridge plate, and the extreme skeletalization of the components. It vibrates 21,600 times per hour and provides a power reserve of 70 hours.fake watches for sale Watchmaking expertise can be found throughout the movement, using hand-crafted brushed, polished, satin and soft polished surfaces. A transverse frame made of carbon TPT, inspired by the wishbone suspension structure of McLaren-Honda Formula One, is fixed to the case and supports the entire RM50-03 movement. By eliminating the outer shell ring, this unusual structure makes the movement and the case a perfect fit. Taken together, these technical solutions provide a huge Resistance characteristics. In fact, in Richard Mille's test, the shell withstood a shock load of 5,000 grams. To ensure perfect operation, the combination of the tourbillon escapement and the rattrapante function in a single mechanical device requires perfect energy transfer. The ensuing need to reduce friction has led to research on how to improve the tooth profile on the barrel and gear train to achieve a perfectly balanced torque and optimized output. The performance of the movement and the quality of the energy transferred can be easily read by the color indicator that shows the 70-hour energy reserve and the torque sensor.The hollow button of the chronograph represents the intake pipe on the McLaren-Honda car, and the shape of the crown is based on the racing rims used by the British team.exact replica watches The design of the new rattrapante mechanism and the extensive research on the work of the rattrapante clamp have reduced the energy consumption of the chronograph by 50% while reducing shaft friction. Previous Richard Mille chronographs traditionally used 8-column wheels, while the chronograph equipped with RM 50-03 only had 6 columns to ensure optimized synchronized movement, maximum functional lock and greater adjustment durability. The case (44.50 mm x 49.65 mm x 16.10 mm) is water-resistant to 50 meters/165 feet and is equipped with 20 grade 5 titanium spline screws, which can better control the torque applied to the screws during the assembly process. It is not affected by physical operations during assembly or disassembly. Graphene is also integrated into the rubber strap of the RM 50-03 to increase its elasticity and wear resistance.
