Richard Mille RM038

Angus Davies reviews the Richard Mille RM038, a watch built for recent Augusta Masters winner Bubba Watson.

Bubba Watson wins the Augusta Masters.

At 6-foot-3, he’s a colossus in size and hits the ball with prodigious power, leading the PGA Tour in driving distance with an average of 313.1 yards.

Bubba was a refreshing change from the average golfer on the PGA Tour. He is self-taught and has developed his own very personal style.

Many golfers spend years training with coaches, holding the club in a certain way and honing their swing through video analysis, but not Bubba.

Wearing an all-white outfit with pink detailing, he used a pink driver to support the charity. On his website, Bubba states that “helping these charities, and more importantly, the families involved, means more than winning a golf tournament”. I suspect this is a mantra embraced by many sports coaches.

Bubba is approachable and recounts his humble origins and growing up in Baghdad, Florida. He opened up about his emotions, tearing up and hugging his mother affectionately as he celebrated his victory at the Masters.

During his playoff with Louis Osterhuizen during the Masters, his ball landed in the woods. The bushes should have thwarted his ambitions, thwarted his ambitions. However, Bubba said that after hitting the ball with such ferocity, golf wisdom would suggest imminent failure, “It’s just a crazy shot I see in my head.” The ball landed on the green. This is not one to follow the rules. copy watches for sale

So it’s no surprise that he wears an unconventional watch, the Richard Mille RM 038.

dial
The dial is unlike any other brand of watch. The design language of Richard Mille watches is inspired by Formula 1. Skeletonized hour and minute hands are one of the few details faithful to orthodox horology.

The bridge is shaped like an anti-roll bar and spans the dial. They are not made of untreated silver and do not have the Côtes de Genève pattern in line with other high-end timepieces on the market. Richard Mille never went with the flow.

The bridges, bridges and balance cock are all made of grade 5 titanium and are clearly visible through the sapphire crystal mounted on the front and back of the case. This isn’t horological porn designed just to tease, and it has its merits in the choice of materials used. Grade 5 titanium is lightweight, ensuring it won’t weigh down on the wearer. Bubba Watson, Felipe Massa and Rafael Nadal have all highlighted this key advantage, all of whom choose to wear Richard Mille watches while practicing their chosen sports.

The wearer can appreciate the spectacle of horological craftsmanship, as the tourbillon cage rotates to resist the effects of gravity. But unlike some tourbillons that require care to ensure their longevity, Richard Mille has given its models a solid structure that makes them extremely wear-resistant.

case
Richard Mille never seeks expediency when designing watches, and the case design perfectly reflects this. The three-plan case is made up of three key elements; top, sides, and bottom. The sides of the case are perfectly contoured, with the top and bottom perfectly aligned to keep out dust or moisture that could damage the precious work inside.

Two Nitrile O-rings mounted on the sides and front and back of the case further reduce the risk of compromising water resistance. fake watches for sale

The case is the culmination of countless machine processes, resulting in the striking silhouette synonymous with this captivating brand. Twelve grade 5 titanium spline screws and 316L stainless steel wear washers snap together like clamshells to protect the internal structure from potential damage.

The most striking thing about the case is the color, a lighter shade of whiter. Made of extremely strong WE54 magnesium, an electric plasma oxidation treatment called Miarox® provides the unique shade. It is this treatment, commonly used in the aerospace, automotive and medical sectors, that gives the case its scratch and corrosion resistance.

sports
Tourbillons are one of the most complex complications, often heavier and more delicate than normal. However, this is no ordinary sport. It’s strong and light.

The lightweight of the rotating barrel increases its speed and its accuracy by default.

The choice of movement material is eclectic, not seeking change, but approaching the watch from different perspectives. The results are amazing.

The beauty of the RM038 Tourbillon movement is the ability to see through the sapphire crystal the hard work of the gears and cogs. The movement is delivered in a unique form and made of high-tech materials.

Richard Mille doesn’t skimp on the details for its clients. This is a great example of polished pivots, polished sinks and beveled polished steel components.

Richard Mille did not follow accepted norms, copied other masters, and did not follow the herd. The RM 038 is a refreshing change from the approach taken by many watchmakers, who some feel seem to offer homogeneous watches that lack originality.

Richard Mille chose a unique course for the RM 038, a bit like the way Bubba Watson plays golf.

Bubba succeeded in the green belt of Augusta, while Richard Mille mastered the green valley of Swiss watchmaking with the innovative RM 038. buy watches online

Hublot Introduces Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Repeater Ceramic

zelin0802

ceramic acoustics.

After launching a series of candy-coloured ceramic integrated bracelet watches at Watches & Wonders 2022, Hublot has launched a ceramic “high complication”, the Big Bang Integral Cathedral minute repeater ceramic watch.

While complex end-to-end ceramic watches already exist, striking watches in ceramic are rare, with only Hublot and Audemars Piguet making such watches. The Big Bang Integral is a novelty combining a tourbillon and a minute repeater, in fact, one of them has a longer than usual cathedral gong.

It manages to be water resistant in contrast to most attention-grabbing watches that are merely resistant to moisture, due to the challenge of sealing the slider while allowing for maximum sound transmission.

The latest Big Bang Integral perfectly sums up Hublot as a brand, showcasing its strengths (and some weaknesses). Powered by a complex in-house movement, paired with a case and bracelet, it showcases the brand’s mastery of unusual materials – all thanks to the brand’s extensive and flexible manufacturing.

In typical Hublot fashion, the watch is loud visually rather than audibly — even in black. It looks like a Hublot, and the brand essentially has one aesthetic. It has a technically modern aesthetic that complements the open dial, a feature uncommon in minute repeaters but useful because it reveals the chiming mechanism in its entirety.

Good value for money for such a watch. At the same time, it has a higher finish on the ceramic case and bracelet than older Hublot models, which makes it even more attractive.

Ceramics and One
The Tourbillon Repeater is the flagship model of the Big Bang Integral collection, the brand’s first integrated bracelet watch, but only two years ago. Although recently introduced, the watch still feels familiar thanks to the well-designed bracelet integrated into the case.

While open dials are common for Hublot Review best watches, this is relatively rare for classic haute horlogerie complications such as the minute repeater. Here, it can reveal the striking mechanism usually hidden under the dial, giving you a glimpse of the rack and snail mechanism responsible for promoting the minute repeater to strike the time.

And the minute repeater utilizes a cathedral gong that wraps twice around the circumference of the movement, rather than once like a traditional minute repeater. The extended length makes a louder chime.

It is worth noting that the movement structure also incorporates thoughtful details. The tourbillon is not hindered by any gears like a tourbillon movement. Instead, the center wheel sits just on the edge of the tourbillon cage. This shows the attention paid to the aesthetics of the tourbillon, although it is tempered by the relatively simple frame.

It can be observed that the decoration of the movement is a mixture of machined and hand-finished.

For example, most of the bridges feature wide, flat bevels with faint machining marks indicating that the angles were done on a CNC machine. At the same time, more critical parts such as the hammers and bridges of the governor are decorated with circular polished chamfers that can only be done by hand.

On the front, however, the visible steel components are neatly finished with ruled surfaces and hand-chamfered edges. perfect cheap watch

On the blue, silver or rock gray dial, fluorescent hour and minute hands combined with Arabic numerals indicate time information. The central 1/4-second chronograph second hand and the 60-minute chronograph minute hand at 6 o’clock are decorated with contrasting colors for instant recognition. The tourbillon frame is set at 12 o’clock, which can offset the influence of gravity on the escapement mechanism, making the watch more accurate.

HYT H2 Tradition: Like a passionate first kiss

zelin0802

HYT fake draws inspiration from watchmaking history in the design of its latest creations. Both majestic and moving, its youthful beauty makes one’s blood boil.

Wearing the H2 Tradition is like an eternal bachelor, falling in love for the first time – when you do realize there is no turning back, you find yourself desperately trying to stay free. When HYT’s first classic model was launched at the last SIHH, there was a lot of interest in the watchmaking world. HYT may have anticipated this reaction, as its production to date has only included dynamic, technological and futuristic pieces.

Enamelled Roman numerals around the hour circles and sub-dial, as well as other references to watchmaking traditions, exude a soft touch. This is a very new genre for a start-up whose design and uniqueness have always been bewildering – and that’s the price to pay for being a true exception in watchmaking. However, things have changed.

an amazing dive
Getting a first look at a watch means getting to know its amazing mechanics. Two curved pistons form the basis of the dial. They are used to control the movement of two liquids – one royal blue and one transparent – and they replace the hour hand in the HYT’s inherent properties. Any internal combustion engine enthusiast will understand this, while wild-road purists may recognize the V-engine, which is often seen on Harley Davidsons. The resemblance is so striking that we can almost smell the used leather and burnt rubber in Hell. By the way, it’s worth reading what the crazy and ebullient Hunter Samuel Thompson has to say about it.

HYT H2 Tradition

However, despite the engine’s 48.80mm diameter, there is no potential provocation. The H2 Tradition is a technological breakthrough in terms of the assembly of its movement – not only because of its layers, but above all because of its solid curved piston. They taper outwards from the bottom. This started the production of the majestic curved support bridge. These excellent micro-mechanical touches and the technology developed by Preciflex, which produces hydraulic displays, are truly remarkable. To cynics and skeptics, the watchmaking legitimacy of this method is nothing but a futile debate.

But this watch is not only scientifically innovative. Its time display mode takes some getting used to. Time passed slowly and quietly. Tranquility is a whole new feeling for such an avant-garde watch. At the end of its cycle, after 6 am or 6 pm, the retrograde system slides the fluid in the opposite direction. As a bonus, this special and unusual display offers unprecedented time reading flexibility and comfort.

The H2 Tradition has a lighter caliber than in the first H2 introduced in 2013. The balance has been replaced with a sub-dial to indicate the minutes, now fixed and hidden under this dial. Small seconds have also been added. Therefore, this watch is not a revolution, but presents some changes that completely change the character of the movement. The component fleet is fastened to the guilloche trim, which is the basis for assembly. What a wonderful work!

The H2 Tradition protects its lion heart with sapphire and titanium glass windows. This sleek cocoon is surrounded by a domed sapphire crystal. The silhouette of the piece has a slight slope, is flat in the middle, and reveals unexpected angles. The back is also sapphire, extending all the way to the edge of the middle, where it stops and forms the gear train for energy storage. The size of the large and rare H2 Tradition is not an issue, as the watch is actually quite light, and its height/weight ratio confirms this. We might even say it gives a slight weightlessness.

The H2 Tradition was first and foremost a fundamental game-changer for HYT, creating the perfect cheap watch of the future and now interested in its origins. Given the effort put into its development, the same power can be used to master the depths of the great traditional watchmaking art.
