Ever since an 18th century gentleman jogged along on horseback with a watch in pocket, vibrations have been a primary concern of watchmakers. Vibrations affect accuracy. So why has Richard Mille<\/a> created a watch that vibrates? \u201cWe, who have plumbed the realm of engineering to protect our watches from shock and vibrations, were all of a sudden inviting these into the heart of the movement,\u201d says Richard Mille.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The RM 62-01 Manual Winding Tourbillon vibrating alarm ACJ is an alarm watch designed to give a silent signal by a vibration. The benefits are obvious and numerous: useful in situations ranging from business meetings to the school play, from airline travel (first class \u2013 this is Richard Mille, after all) to attending concerts. The challenge remains: to vibrate without affecting the movement. It was not the work of a moment. A solution, inspired by early vibrating mobile phones, was an offset weight in solid gold.<\/p>\n The RM 62-01 is the most complicated watch the brand has ever made. It took one watchmaker working full time for five years to design the housing of 816 parts, two barrels, seven hands, 11 displays and a tourbillon cage within the space constraints.<\/p>\n
\nDespite the fact that vibration can be a watch\u2019s worst enemy, Richard Mille has created a vibrating luxury timepiece to wear on those first-class trips<\/em><\/p>\n
