However, when properly adjusted, this exceptional calibre, suspended in its case, is capable of withstanding accelerations of over 5000g. With an introductory replica watches price of over €600,000, the RM 27-01 tourbillon and its suspended movement had few successors. Only Richard Mille himself would use the principle again, in his RM 53-01 Tourbillon Pablo Mac Donough released in 2018 and costing over one million euros.

Anche l'orologio di cui scrivo oggi mi piace, ma non lo amo perché è stato indossato da Steve McQueen come il Rolex – infatti nessuno lo ha mai indossato, e nessuno lo farà mai, perché è un orologio di puro concetto mai replica rolex da produrre in serie. Tuttavia, lo adoro perché potrebbe benissimo essere l'orologio singolarmente più importante per l'orologeria meccanica, nel suo insieme, nella prossima generazione - e viene da Cartier.
