Airbus Corporate Jets and Richard Mille Launch New Limited Edition Watch

Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) and Richard Mille, the man and company that created Rafael Nadal’s world-famous collection of truly outstanding timepieces, have launched a new watch.

Called the RM 62-01 Tourbillon Vibrating Alarm ACJ, the watch features a discreet alarm that alerts the wearer through vibrations that only they can feel.

“Airbus corporate jets are instruments of beauty, precision and utility, just like our watches, and we both strive to create products that go beyond delivering practicality to provide elegance, exclusivity and eternal value,” said Richard Mille, Founder and CEO Richard Mille.

As with a previous watch collaboration in 2016, sketches of the new design were initially created by ACJ Head of Creative Design, Sylvain Mariat, with the watch being turned into reality by a team at Richard Mille, including Salvador Arbona, Technical Director for Movements.

The face of the new watch comprises titanium/Carbon TPT that has been machined to represent the shape of an aircraft window, revealing different layers that echo the grain of the exotic wood typically found in corporate jet cabins. The crown-winder features engine fan-blades, while the sides of the watch are reminiscent of intricate, sculpted, metal aircraft-structure, as are miniature torque-set screws.

Skeletonisation – a hallmark of Richard Mille watches – reveals the sophistication of the movement inside – visible through the transparent front and back.

The watch is available through Richard Mille in a limited edition of just 30 pieces.
