Richard Mille’s new Tourbillon RM 053 Pablo Mac Donough was designed specifically for the brand’s polo-playing ambassador in order to offer him a tourbillon that could withstand the tough conditions of a polo game.

Richard Mille solves the problem with an extremely tough case in microblasted titanium and titanium carbide with just two small windows to display the time.

The seconds run with the tourbillon cage on the left viewing window and on the right the hours and minutes are shown. This angled view is ideal when seen from the rider’s saddle.

The highly compact, totally new tourbillon movement design utilizes a highly skeletonized baseplate and bridges with a compact going train-winding barrel arrangement.

Since the movement itself is ultra light and tightly unified, it is less susceptible to the centrifugal and centripetal forces generated during a game.

The RM 053 Tourbillon Pablo Mac Donough is a limited edition of 15 pieces.
