The JB Richard Mille RM52-01 tourbillon watch is a stunning replica that pays homage to the essence of Richard Mille’s iconic skull design. JB Factory has addressed multiple issues in previous versions, offering enthusiasts a replica that matches the original in size, authentic movement, and meticulous details.
The dimensions of the watch are almost identical to the official product, with JB Factory’s version measuring 49.8*44.3*16.4mm, compared to the original 50*43*16mm. This resemblance is crucial for collectors seeking an accurate representation.
The tourbillon’s real ruby bearing, located in the mouth of the skull, is a functional gem rather than mere decoration. This feature reflects the intended sci-fi aesthetic, with the gemstone embracing the tourbillon axis, appearing as if the skull has swallowed an energy ball.
Attention to detail is evident in other aspects as well. Inside the case, the RM052 engraving appears on the left inner wall, consistent with the original. The size and depth of the gear in the right eye closely resemble the authentic design, while the forehead features a vividly red gem. The watch is complemented by a matte buckle and an imported Thai rubber strap.
The movement is aligned perfectly, thanks to the Shanghai Factory’s customized true tourbillon movement. Viewed from the back, the skull’s rear brain clearly reveals the co-axial gem and the tourbillon’s operation. From the front, the black balance wheel is neatly obscured by the skull’s lower jaw, leaving the escapement wheel to elegantly traverse below.
JB Factory prides itself on both internal and external excellence, with each watch undergoing rigorous QE timekeeping simulations and enhanced waterproofing. As a further testament to quality, every JB Factory tourbillon comes with a genuine leather protective pouch.
This masterpiece continues JB Factory’s legacy of exceptional craftsmanship, following their successes with dual tourbillons, RM001, Roger Dubuis Excalibur, RM053, Rolex tourbillons, and classic fusions. Truly, JB Factory combines precision with passion!
