richard mille caliber rm 011 felipe massa flyback chronograph

Richard Mille makes some really nice timepieces and the RM 012 pictured here is another exquisite example. This portrayal was checked to exclusive 30 editions. The watch is made of a special blend that includes aluminum, magnesium, titanium and silicone. This alloy is greatly insusceptible to corrosion and dress in and is very great at absorbing vibrations. Too bad this watch probably no matter what extra than most cars.

JeanRichard Aquascope 300m diving watchJust like the recently presented JeanRichard 2TimeZones Zirconium limited edition wrist watch, the new JeanRichard Aquascope diving watch is delivered in a cushion-shaped case with a pair of crowns at 3 and 9 o’clock positions.However, since the new Aquascope lacks the GMT functionality, the crown at 9 o’clock serves completely different purpose and is used to lock its bidirectional rotating bezel in a fixed position. The main crown, as usual, operates the hour and minute hands as well as sets the correct date. Well, and, unfortunately enough, in this particular case the, err, case of the Aquascope is made not of zirconium and rubber but of plain stainless steel.JeanRichard Aquascope 300m diving watchThe diving instrument is powered by JeanRichard’s own JR1000 in-house automatic caliber. First presented about six years ago with the classy JeanRichard Paramount watch, the manufacture caliber is built on 27 jewels and its heart beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph for at least 48 hours after the watch is fully wounded. This does not seem like a great feat when compared to mainstream movements from ETA that are capable of running for at least 45 hours, but in fact is much more convenient since you can leave the watch in your desk drawer for whole two days without risking finding it breathless for a couple of hours.I mean, just imagine that you have just woke up barely dressed with a major hangover and a suspiciously looking bruises on your neck and you know that you have a wedding today, but the phone’s battery is dead and the watch doesn’t tick and you have absolutely no idea as to what time it is now. Sounds compelling, enough?The same movement was also used to power the last year’s Diverscope JR1000 model that was also rated for depth up to 300 meters.Like most diving watches, the JeanRichard Aquascope sports a pretty much standard dial layout and bezel decoration introduced many years ago by the industry’s behemoth Rolex with its Submariner and Oyster models. The only deviation from any given Seadweller’s layout is that the watch has the omnipresent triangle at 12 o’clock replaced with respective Arabic numeral. Also not very original, but, heck, in some cases, like safety reasons, there is nothing wrong with standardization if it helps saving lives.JeanRichard Aquascope 300m diving watch (detailed view)
