And with the exception of Richard Mille RM 037 Replica Watch , no other watchmaker today does them quite like the enfant terrible of horology. If you want a darkly beautiful modern classic that combines Hollywood glamour with precious stones and cutting-edge materials, and also follows the principles of fine watchmaking, this particular timepiece is just what you’re looking for.
The rotor with variable inertia allows the watch to be set according to the activity level of the wearer. Whether you’re highly active or have a largely sedentary lifestyle, it will be precise. Then you have the free sprung balance with variable inertia. This basically means the movement is highly shock-resistant. The wheels have diamond-polished angles. The steel parts have hand-polished sinks and satin-finished surfaces. And the stem crown construction is a break from the norm because it doesn’t go right to the core of the movement as per usual. The thinking behind that is to protect the movement from potential damage from external influences.
The dial is simple and refined, being housed in a diamond-set border that mimics the tonneau shape of the case. Rose gold baton hour and minute hands are set off nicely against the grainy surface of NTPT and the matt black of the bracelet. There’s a date aperture at 12 o’clock. A ladies’ watch that balances femininity with masculinity, beauty, boldness and elegance, Richard Mille RM 037 GEM-SET NTPT is quite literally a little gem in the world of luxury watchmaking. Skeletonised high-end ladies’ watches did exist prior to the debut of Richard Mille RM 07 in 2005. But they were few and far between.
Limitations? Not unless you want to be picky about it. There’s not a lot going on when it comes to functions but this is a ladies’ luxury dress watch. Anything more than hours and minutes is almost going overboard. Richard Mille Replica Watch has the following functions: hours, minutes and date. But don’t be hoodwinked into thinking the movement is simple. CRMA1 has the signature elements of a Richard Mille automatic movement. There’s no denying this watch is an attention-grabber. That’s thanks to the fact that the case of the Full Set model is set with 250 diamonds. So it’s gem-set. But that’s not the only seriously impressive aspect. Richard Mille are nothing if not ingenious.
