RICHARD MILLE RM 07-01: A Color Revolution and Traditional Craftsmanship

The RICHARD MILLE RM 07-01 Colored Ceramic Ladies' Watch Collection represents the brand's latest breakthrough in the fusion of color expression and craftsmanship. Inspired by the Memphis design style that emerged in Italy in the 1980s, this style is known for its unconventional and free-spirited approach.

The colored ceramic version features three vibrant hues: light pink, light purple, and light blue. The case is made of biocompatible TZP ceramic—a material crafted using a special process that is not only thin and lightweight but also exceptionally strong, ensuring the colors remain vibrant and unfaded over time. The red gold skeleton at the center of the dial is engraved with wave curves and geometric patterns, creating a multi-material dialogue with laser-cut rubber inlays and diamond-set details, perfectly echoing the "free-spirited" core of the Memphis style.

The RM 07-01 is powered by the brand's in-house developed CRMA2 automatic movement. Its variable geometry rotor uses two moving weights to adjust the winding efficiency, precisely adapting to the different activity habits of various wearers. The base plate and bridge plates, crafted from grade 5 titanium alloy, undergo micro-blasting and plasma treatment, ensuring mechanical rigidity while infusing the openwork structure with translucent light and shadow. Despite such complex manufacturing processes, the metal middle case remains remarkably shock-resistant, successfully passing all of the brand's impact tests.

Butterfly-themed Watch - Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Papillon Automate

On the Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Papillon Automate watch, an ethereal butterfly alights on the "Garden Dial," flapping its wings one to four times in succession according to the watch's power reserve, presenting us with a lifelike, poetic world! Creating poetic worlds is a strength of Van Cleef & Arpels, relying on the Maison's exquisite craftsmanship and technology. See, the butterfly rests on a flower carved from mother-of-pearl, its wings crafted using two shades of stained glass enamel, visually remarkably transparent and full of spirit. The surrounding plants are decorated with champlevé enamel, and some rounded blades are crafted using curved stained glass enamel, presenting a gradient blue-green effect. Furthermore, the dial background is set with blue, pale purple, and violet sapphires, echoing the shimmering water surface. The enamel technique and gem setting give the dial a richer sense of depth, showcasing Van Cleef & Arpels' exquisite craftsmanship and extraordinary artistry. 

Meanwhile, the Maison's watchmaking experts are also fully utilizing their creativity and expertise. The watch houses a self-winding mechanical movement crafted by Valfleurier, offering a 34-hour power reserve. It also features a random automaton and push-button animation module that captures the wearer's movement patterns and reflects them on the butterfly wings. When the watch is not worn, the wings flutter gently every 2 to 4 minutes; when worn, the wing fluttering quickens. Pressing the push-button time display button on the left side of the case activates the butterfly's wing flapping. The best Breitling Avenger replica watches at captainthewatch.is.
