INTRODUCTION
The RM 36-01 Tourbillon Sébastien Loeb is the result of our collaboration with Sébastien Loeb, the most successful driver in WRC history, having won the world rally championship a record nine times in a row and set a world record on the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in 2013.
A further development of the mechanical G-force sensor watches present in the Richard Mille collection, the RM 36-01 G-Sensor Tourbillon is the result of the collaboration with Sébastien Loeb.
Manual winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes, rotary g-sensor, power-reserve indicator and function selector.
Limited edition of 30 pieces.
Around 70 hours (± 10%).
Baseplate And Bridges Made Of Grade 5 Titanium
The baseplate and the bridges are crafted of grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible, highly corrosion-resistant and remarkably rigid alloy, which enables the gear train to function effortlessly. The alloy is 90% grade 5 titanium, 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. This combination further increases the material’s mechanical properties, which explains its frequent use in the aerospace, aeronautics and automobile industries. The baseplate is also PVD treated.
The central bridge in rigidified ARCAP® ensures the rigidity of both the baseplate and the going-train bridge assembly.
All these elements were subjected to separate and extensive validation tests to ensure they met rigorous strength requirements.
Rotary G-sensor
Composed of over 50 parts and measuring a mere 17 mm, the rotary g-sensor can be rotated manually to align in different directions, enabling drivers to view lateral deceleration as well as longitudinal forces, respectively experienced in corners, acceleration and braking on straights.
Directly connected to the bezel and sapphire glass, the sensor can indicate g-forces of up to 6 g’s. The scale indicates whether deceleration is safe (green zone) or if it reaches a critical threshold for the pilot (red zone).
This construction is a real technical breakthrough for watchmaking, requiring complex assembly and adjustment during construction, with part of the movement on the baseplate whilst other movement parts are attached to the bezel/sapphire glass construction, which is mobile, as it must turn, yet remains part of an exact timekeeping mechanism.
The safest method for transactions of luxury watches online.
Yes. Every product we sell is authenticated using a multi-point inspection. We buy our own watches too! Just to keep you confident, we also offer a 100% refund guarantee for any authenticity issues.
Unworn is what most of our inventory is currently on condition. We do sell pre-owned watches for a discount, so that will also be communicated when you get into contact with us.
We offer free overnight shipping and orders are processed same day. So often our customers receive their watch next day, or day after on more rare occasions. Exact delivery times will vary based on carrier and availability.
It depends. We have multiple inventory locations, but no physical showroom. Depending on availability, and purchase, we could schedule you to see the watch before you purchase. However, it does require a deposit.
No. We are an executive team of 3 that have been working on 47th st in NYC (Diamond District) for close to 20 years now. Recently, we wanted to expand worldwide, so we opened WATCHXNYC – an online showroom brand to showcase our inventory and sourcing abilities. Rest assured, we know watches well.
