專家說明
2008 marked the 150th anniversary of the Parisian jeweler Boucheron and to commemorate this special occasion, Richard Mille produced a very special model, the RM018 in a number of variations.
The watch is most notable for its movement which is not only a tourbillon but has wheels set with semi-precious stones. A number of different versions were produced in the limited edition of 30 pieces featuring wheels made of tiger’s-eye, jasper, black onyx, and diamonds which can be seen through the skeletonised dial. The technique that is required to create such a watch involves a high level of mathematical modelling and precision in handcrafting its wheels.
As a clear nod to the history of Boucheron, the crown is in the style synonymous with the maison’s haute joaillerie, and the case is deeply engraved with vertical ridges which is reminiscent of the iconic Reflet watch which was introduced by the jeweller in 1947.
The present lot is perhaps the most glamorous variation of the edition, with the stunning combination of the pink hard-stone of the movement, the contrasting white metal case and the whole offset by the subdued black strap. Executed as a pièce unique, this may represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a contemporary creation reflecting the history of two significant brands at the top of their respective industries.
