Richard Mille RM 52-05 : CALIBRE RM52-05 - Manual winding tourbillon movement with hours and minutes.

It was here before the Earth, before this Solar System. It’ll be here after us and nothing’s more meaningful than that. When I look up at the sky I’m looking at God. I feel part of so many different parts of a whole.
This is the Alpha and the Omega.’The terminal-curve spring equipping this type of balance wheel guarantees greater reliability when subjected to shocks or strong vibrations and during movement assembly and disassembly, hence ensuring better chronometric results over time.
