Richard Mille Automatic Watches

Limited Edition of 30 Pieces for the Americas Richard Mille unveils a new limited edition of his automatic diver's vatch exclusively for retailers in North and South America. The RM 028 Americas comes in a dark black DLC titanium case with red and white numerals and hands, and a bright red inner bezel and rubber crown protector. It measures 47mm x 14.6mm. The RM 028 adheres to diver's watch ISO norms 6425 with its water resistance of 300 meters (30 ATM) and a unidirectional bezel. This level of water resistance is achieved with a three part case construction and 22 torque screws, with complete integration of the lugs into the case system. This configuration prevents any accidental dislodging of the bezel from its case while diving. The skeletonized automatic movement of the RM 028 utilizes a rotor with variable geometry, a major innovation of Richard Mille that allows the level of automatic winding to be adjusted to the user's lifestyle via the setting of two 18kt white gold wings. MSRP is $82,000.

JeanRichard 2TimeZones Zirconium limited editionThe new JeanRichard 2TimeZones Zirconium automatic watch is powered by an in-house JR1060 automatic movement, which is ticking inside a 43×43 mm case made of zirconium and rubber.As you can see on the photos, JeanRichard’s designers decided to get rid of the usual 24-hour second time zone indication in favor of a less traditional 12-hour indication. This kind of solution allowed them to make the Arabic numerals a bit bigger, but, at the same time, demanded for an introduction of an extra disc with “AM” and “PM” indicators.To make using the GMT feature even simpler, JeanRichard has also introduced another indicator at 6 o’clock featuring a list of 24 cities, each representing a certain time zone. The indicator is operated with the secondary crown located at 9 o’clock.The primary crown at 3 o’clock is used to set correct time and date as well as to wind up the watch.The hour hand is comfortably operated with two pushers located at 8 and 10 o’clock and allowing for moving the hand counter- or clockwise at a push of a button.
