Richard Mille's Tourbillon Split Seconds Watch


Richard Mille's Tourbillon Split Seconds may create a false impression of transparent plastic, but this tourbillon-featuring chronograph nestles in an impressive case cut and milled from solid blocks of sapphire. Alongside being a pioneering material-choice, the difficult machining process and the 350 hours of polishing work, the skeletonized RM 056 manual-winding movement can keep up with the intricacy of the case and strap.

Breguet Ref. 5839 Marine Tourbillon High Jewellery watch


This Breguet Ref. 5839 Marine Tourbillon High Jewellery watch is a diamond encrusted version of the Ref. 5937 from a few years ago. 
Breguet outfitted the watch case and dial with an impressive amount of diamonds, but still was able to retain that signature Breguet Marine watch look.
The 43mm wide 18k white gold case as about 11.77 carats of stones on it. One of the neatest parts is how Breguet was able to maintain the coined edge of the case using specially cut diamonds. Also not the unique pattern the diamonds create for the bezel. On the dial smaller diamonds are set in the middle of the dial and don't overshadow the hands. The dial itself is silvered 18k gold. Overall Breguet did a great job giving a men's jewelry watch a functional face.
Inside the watch is a Breguet caliber 554.4 manually wound tourbillon movement with the time and a chronograph complication. The watch has 50 hours of power reserve with special features that include a silicium balance spring and escapement wheel.
