The Ultimate Polo Watch Review

Polo is among the toughest sports to put on a wrist watch during.

You don't only need to bother about your attacker damaging the delicate very of the timepiece by having an errant hammer, but, if for whatever reason you disappear your horse, it’s game over for anything which are usually in your wrist. The favourite watch design with polo in your mind needs to be Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary Reverso, which solved this issue by having the ability to seamlessly switch the timepiece around to reveal metallic caseback that safeguards the watch’s mechanics and search. However, Jaeger-LeCoultre isn’t the only real brand introducing a wrist watch particularly intended for polo (it’s worth mentioning the Reverso has transcended it’s original sporty utility and it is more connected with as being a dress watch nowadays). Richard Mille introduced a brand new watch during SIHH now that approaches the polo condition in a different way that just we've got the technology-driven brand could envision.

Richard Mille produced a cable-suspended movement having a tourbillon along with a laminated azure glass Carbon TPT situation. The large challenge here was creating a watch that might be up against the numerous shocks that any polo player experiences throughout a match. Richard Mille isn't any stranger for this after building multiple timepieces with tennis player Rafael Nadal that provide unparalleled amounts of shock resistance.

To construct this cable suspended movement, the RM team used two separate baseplates. The very first is fixed towards the azure glass situation to aid the tensioner mechanism. The second reason is attached to the first baseplate through multiple cables and incorporates the wheels define the movement along with the winding mechanism. This second baseplate rests on two braided steel cables which come in just .27 mm across. The 2 cables possess a 10-lever system that's leveraged by four tensioners. The RM team needs to make certain that there's a level distribution through the intricate lever system, as the grade 5 titanium utilized in the baseplate and bridges adds a stiffness that encourages ultimate shock protection.

To produce the azure glass situation, Richard Mille collaborated with Stettler, a famous azure specialist. Inspired through laminated glass within the automotive world, Stettler and RM created a system of lounging lower two sheets of azure glass which are separated with a thin Polyvinyl film that's then covered in anti-reflective and Ultra violet coating. The situation is machined in Carbon TPT, that is a patented structure that's been referred to as “virtually indestructible.” What’s most noticeable concerning the situation, however, is its Damascene design that recalls Damascus steel, used centuries ago to produce “virtually-indestructible” blades.
