The YS Factory has outdone itself with the Richard Mille RM52-01 true tourbillon replica, offering fans a chance to own an extraordinary rendition of the iconic skull design. This high-quality clone surpasses multiple previous versions, ensuring accurate dimensions, genuine movement, and meticulous detailing.
Why should you consider this masterpiece? First, the dimensions are nearly identical to the original: the official measurements of 50mm by 43mm by 16mm are closely matched by YS Factory’s version at 49.8mm by 44.3mm by 16.4mm.
A standout feature is the genuine bearing within the skull’s mouth. Unlike mere decoration, the red ruby serves as the true axis of the tourbillon. It perfectly represents the sci-fi essence that the original intends to convey, as if swallowing an energy sphere.
The attention to detail is impeccable. The inner wall of the case features the same RM052 imprint as the original. The gear size and depth in the right eye closely mimic the authentic model. Additionally, the forehead’s central gemstone shines with a vivid hue, complemented by a matte clasp and an imported Thai rubber strap.
Matching the original’s movement, the tourbillon’s position and size are in precise alignment. From the back, you can observe the tourbillon’s operation with the ruby aligned coaxially. The black oscillating weight sits perfectly hidden behind the skull’s lower jaw, with just the escape wheel visible below the skull.
Incorporating both beauty and functionality, it features a Shanghai custom tourbillon movement, with each watch undergoing rigorous time-keeping tests and enhanced water resistance.
YS Factory consistently proves to be ‘meticulous from the heart,’ with the RM52-01 joining the ranks of creations like the dual tourbillon, RM001, Roger Dubuis Kings, RM053, and the Rolex tourbillon.
