Richard Mille has developped the Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 26-02 Evil Eye replica watch as a new talisman to protect against these negative energies, recalling the spirit of Memento Mori with its remembrance of our personal mortality.
Fashioned from 3N red gold, the flames and eye have been hand-carved using chisels made specifically to perfect the tiniest details.
The black pvd Evil Eye RM 26-02 Tourbillon copy watch was designed and brought to life by Olivier Vaucher, a renowned craftsman from Geneva.
The timepiece comes in a black TZP ceramic case. The tripartite case is water-resistant to 50 meters thanks to two Nitril O-ring seals, and is assembled using 12 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and washers in 316L stainless steel.
The case middle in 5N red gold features a torque limiting crown, which prevents the wearer from accidentally overwinding the tourbillon caliber. The deep black of this hightech ceramic—worked at length to obtain a mat effect over the entire surface—plays with the light of the hand-polished chamfers to highlight the curves of the case, which showcases the colors of the Evil Eye’s flames.
Assembled using a plate and bridges in PVD-coated grade 5 titanium, the tourbillon caliber movement beating at 3 Hz is insured a perfectly functioning environment.
The Evil Eye is nestled at the heart of the high-efficiency fake Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 26-02 watch caliber, a manual winding movement with a power reserve of approximately 50 hours indicated by a red line on a differential-driven, rotating disk located between 10 and 11 o’clock. The RM 26-02 is produced in a limited edition of 25 timepieces in black TZP ceramic, which are available exclusively in the 25 Richard Mille boutiques located around the world.
The Evil Eye knows no bounds except those imposed on it by various protective talismans, such as the Eye of Horus amulet, the Jewish red string or the Irish four leaf clover.
The universal symbol of the Evil Eye summons suffering and misfortune to whoever is exposed to its power.
