RICHARD MILLE – RM 07-02 Automatic Pink Lady Sapphire














RICHARD MILLERM 07-02 Automatic Pink Lady Sapphire NEW

For several years now, women have been taking up a new stance in watchmaking. While they continue to endorse gem-set watches, they are also increasingly fascinated by the complexity and technicality of watchmaking.

Always eager to please this demanding clientele, Richard Mille has created the new RM 07-02 Pink Lady Sapphire especially for them: an automatic calibre protected by a pink sapphire case.

The 1930s was an innovative period, when the famous Pink Lady drink for women was introduced. This balanced cocktail designed for female members of high society encapsulated a desire to modernize the rather chauvinist customs of clubs and their gentlemen clientele. In the same spirit that sparked the creation of this ladies’ cocktail, the RM 07-02 Pink Lady Sapphire brings a feminine approach to technique, cloaking it in the pink tones of this renowned drink.

Crafted from sections of pink sapphire taken from a single block, the case of the RM 07-02 is extremely difficult to machine. Observing the manufacturing process of a pink sapphire case highlights the challenge its creation entails, from both an engineering and technical standpoint. There is no room for even a single cutting error. The case requires almost forty days of machining and finishing to meet the uncompromising specifications laid out by Richard Mille. Numerous tests then follow to verify that the brand’s resistance and comfort requirements have been met.

Beneath its pink exterior, this original and ergonomic tripartite case reveals a unique automatic movement beating at its heart. The new in-house CRMA5 calibre is assembled around a skeletonized plate in microblasted 5N gold set with diamonds. The same 5N gold is used for the flange and the bridges, whose hand-chamfered and hand-drawn angles and edges capture even more light at the heart of the caliber.

Like the RM collection, the RM 07-02 features exceptional technical characteristics such as hand- decorated and gem-set gold bridges, a variable inertia balance wheel designed to ensure optimum performance in the long term, and a variable geometry rotor in 18K 5N red gold set with diamonds, which adapts the winding of the watch to the movements of the wearer. The central dial in onyx and diamonds, the crown in 5N red gold and the strap in white alligator skin add the perfect finishing touches to this exceptional creation.

MeisterSinger – Adhaesio Automatic













MeisterSingerAdhaesio Automatic

Adhaesio – always in contact
At the Baselworld 2015, MeisterSinger will be presenting a watch featuring a second time zone

The watch manufacturer MeisterSinger creates wristwatches for people who know what is important to them and don’t get caught up in petty details, but remain on track – wherever they happen to be.

We travel more than ever – and sometimes, when we’re far away from home, we
realize how much it means to us. Knowing what time it is at home is a way of staying
connected and enables us to take part in what’s going on there, even if only in
thought. Once we’re back home, we can always stay in contact with other parts of the
world as we might call business partners, makes bids at auctions, or think of people
who are near to us, even though they may be far away.

We often have to deal with various situations simultaneously, both at home and
away. But the time of day is not the same everywhere, which can soon lead to
uncertainty, not quite knowing whether it’s morning or evening at another place.
That’s why the displaying of a second time zone is one of the most popular and
widely used complications that feature in mechanical wristwatches.

With the Adhaesio, the single-hand watch specialist MeisterSinger has developed a
dual timer that adeptly follows its own aesthetic principles and the confident
perception its clients have of time. For years now, MeisterSinger has continually
developed timepieces with additional functions and always managed to find ways
that embody the essence of its single-hand watches, both technically and in terms of
design.

The Adhaesio too is a typical MeisterSinger, in both concept and aesthetics.
An individual, needle-sharp hour hand points to the current time of day or night at the
location of its wearer, accurate to within five minutes. Above the MeisterSinger logo, an
arrow points to the second local time on a 24-hour ring, which slowly rotates in a
clockwise direction.

These two times are separated by a second ring, which shows the date and moves in
the opposite direction.

The carefully selected typography ensures that the display is clearly readable. The
time of day and the date form one cohesive unit. The second time zone is clearly
visible. Both rings are set slightly deeper than the edge and the center of the dial.
Characteristic of MeisterSinger, the hour is therefore visually in the foreground.

The Adhaesio is powered by a Swiss automatic movement, the ETA 2893. The local
time, the second time zone and the date can all be easily adjusted via the crown.
40 millimeters in diameter, its stainless steel case is discreet in size and a mere 10
millimeters high. The Adhaesio connects it wearer with two time zones that are both
important to him – or remind him constantly of a place he is attached to.

The Adhaesio will be presented at the Baselworld 2015 and is available in four versions from September onwards.
