Overview
Caribbean Blue Quartz TPT® with Carbon TPT® and titanium
This execution of the RM 21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne has a case made of titanium, Carbon TPT® and Caribbean Blue Quartz TPT®, in an edition of 50 pieces.
Carbon TPT® and Quartz TPT® are built from hundreds of layers of filament — carbon fibre no more than 30 microns thick, silica thread no more than 45 — impregnated with matrices and woven on a machine that turns the weft 45° between layers, then heated to 120 °C at 6 bar before CNC machining. The baseplate is honeycombed orthorhombic HAYNES® 214® with a Carbon TPT® core.
Key details
Design and engineering
- Quartz TPT® and Carbon TPT®Both are produced by the same layering process, Quartz TPT® from silica threads and Carbon TPT® from carbon fibre. Layers up to 30 microns thick for the carbon and 45 for the silica are impregnated with matrices, woven with a 45° change of weft direction between layers, then cured at 120 °C under 6 bar.
- HAYNES 214 honeycomb baseplateHAYNES® 214® is a nickel-chromium-aluminium-iron alloy, designed to provide the optimum in high-temperature oxidation resistance for a wrought austenitic material. Combined with a Carbon TPT® core, its honeycombed geometrical pattern offers unparalleled stiffness, a low thermal expansion coefficient and exceptional torsion resistance.
- Central barrel and tourbillonThe winding barrel and the tourbillon are placed centrally within the aerodynamic structure, balanced on titanium bridges.
- Torque and power-reserve indicatorsThe torque indicator and the power-reserve indicator report the quantity and the quality of the energy stored in the barrel.
- Function selectorA hand at 4 o’clock shows the selected position; a push-button at the centre of the crown selects winding, neutral or hand-setting.
- Case constructionThe casing ring is eliminated. The case is assembled with 20 grade 5 titanium spline screws and abrasion-resistant 316L stainless steel washers, water resistant to 50 metres.
