Overview

Green Quartz TPT® with Carbon TPT®, the first RM 21-02 execution

Launched in 2022, this was the first execution of the RM 21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne, in an edition of 50 pieces. The bezel is made of Carbon TPT® and green Quartz TPT®; green Quartz TPT® is also used for the caseback, while the caseband is satin-finished grade 5 titanium with pillars in Carbon TPT®. The two composites show regular undulations across their surfaces, a consequence of the layered construction: filaments obtained by dividing carbon fibre or silica thread, impregnated with black and green matrices, woven with the weft direction changing by 45° between layers, then heated to 120 °C at 6 bar before CNC machining.

The calibre is finished with anglage and polishing by hand, and runs at 21,600 vph with a power reserve of around 70 hours.

Design and engineering

  • HAYNES 214 honeycomb baseplateThe nickel-chromium-aluminium-iron alloy is laid in a honeycombed geometry with a black PVD treatment, over a Carbon TPT® core. The cells are juxtaposed and laser-welded individually.
  • Central barrel and tourbillonThe winding barrel and tourbillon are placed centrally, carried on titanium bridges with four arms on either side.
  • Torque and power-reserve indicatorsThe torque indicator supplies information about the mainspring’s tension; the power-reserve indicator shows the hours of energy left in the mainspring before the watch must be wound again.
  • Movement finishingAnglage and polishing by hand, hand-polished locking sections, sapphire-blasted milled sections, lapped and polished contact points and burnished pivots.
