Overview

The cable-suspended polo tourbillon in white

The case here is white, its notched profile giving the RM 53-01 its structural stiffness.

The construction is unchanged: a manual-winding tourbillon suspended inside the case on braided cable, read through laminated sapphire glass built from two sheets separated by a polyvinyl film, so that a mallet strike cracks the glass without shattering it.

Design and engineering

  • Laminated sapphire glassA horological first, developed with Stettler and taking its principle from automotive laminated glazing.
  • Cable-suspended calibreThe calibre’s central baseplate hangs on braided steel cables, so shocks reaching the case walls are absorbed before they reach the movement.
  • Two grade 5 titanium baseplatesA peripheral baseplate is attached to the caseband; a central baseplate, carrying the calibre’s wheels and winding mechanism, is attached to it by cables. Black and grey PVD treatment for the baseplates and bridges.
  • Notched case profileThe notches are structural, reinforcing the case rather than decorating it.
  • BalanceGlucydur®, 2 arms and 4 setting screws.
