This replica luxury watches was inspired by a heartfelt conversation between Richard Mille and Fernando Alonso, a two-time Formula 1 World Champion and a passionate enthusiast of traditional Japanese art and the samurai spirit.
This new watch pushes the boundaries of creativity, taking its place among Richard Mille's collections renowned for their decorative and aesthetic value. The samurai armor is hand-carved by artist Pierre-Alain Lozeron and painted by his wife, Valérie Lozeron. The carvings of samurai armor evoke the diverse aspects of Japanese culture, passed down through generations, and the ethical principles embodied by the samurai spirit remain prevalent in Japanese society today. The armor, crafted from 3N gold, is reminiscent of the gold leaf used to adorn the most sacred temples and traditional crafts of ancient Japan.
Many details in the watch reference the crest of the Asano clan, a symbol of the Japanese samurai code. In the early 18th century, Asano Naganori, the daimyo and lord of his family's domain, was a vassal to whom forty-seven ronin (ronin) followed. These ronin, avenging their lord's death, resolutely followed him to his death. In Japan, each samurai family had its own unique kamon. A tourbillon bearing the Asano family crest is located at 6 o'clock. This crest, composed of two intersecting eagle feathers, symbolizes military prowess and lordly authority. It is also intricately engraved on the winglets of samurai helmets. The crown is crafted from titanium, Carbon TPT®, and polished 3N gold and adorned with a Japanese maple leaf. The maple leaf symbolizes the changing seasons, beauty, elegance, and the transience of life. At the base, two swords are depicted, sheathed, blades facing upward, allowing for quick withdrawal in the face of danger.high quality replica watches
A fusion of sculpture and engraving, the crafting of samurai armor requires patience, meticulousness, dexterity, and passion. "There are many similarities between the knife and the chisel, between the sharp blade and the precisely placed incisions made by the engraver's skill, evoking the resonance between the samurai's virtue and the craftsman's ingenuity," explains Pierre-Alain Lozeron. Over 16 hours of meticulous engraving and 9 hours of painting—a total of more than a full day—are required to create the 11 components of the "Samurai" figure, seamlessly integrated into the caliber of the RM 47 Tourbillon.
Like a guard, the Samurai armor faithfully protects the manually wound RM 47 caliber, which displays the hours and minutes. The baseplate and skeletonized bridges are crafted from black PVD-treated grade 5 titanium, an alloy commonly used in the aerospace industry for its high biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, hardness, and surface flatness, ensuring smooth operation.
The RM 47's movement, case, and decoration all embody a harmonious fusion of elements. The tonneau-shaped case comprises three parts: a 3N gold middle case, a black TZP ceramic bezel, and a caseback. With its exceptional aesthetic, the RM 47 Tourbillon evokes the spirit and essence of the samurai, symbolizing the unwavering pursuit of excellence and a reverence for tradition. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
