WATCH OF THE WEEK: The Richard Mille RM 50-02 ACJ Tourbillon Split Seconds Chronograph

At SIHH 2016, Richard Mille traveled to new heights with the introduction of the RM 50-02 ACJ Tourbillon. The case is crafted from the same titanium aluminum alloy that is used to craft the turbine engines in the Airbus Corporate Jet. The ceramic bezel mirrors the plane’s window design and the control panel in the cockpit inspired the color scheme. The skeletonized split seconds chronograph has a power reserve of 70 hours indicated between 11 and 12 o’clock, and a function indicator for the positions of winding, neutral, and hand-setting.
