9. The Rolex Submariner
 

Model features

The archetype of the diver's watch

The Rolex Submariner’s robust and functional design swiftly became iconic. With their subtly redesigned Oyster case, distinctive dial with large luminescent hour markers, graduated rotatable Cerachrom bezel and solid link Oyster bracelet, the latest generation Submariner and Submariner Date are firmly in line with the original model launched in 1953.

904L Stainless Steel
 

Rolex uses 904L stainless steel for its steel watch cases. 904L is mainly used in the high technology, aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. A superalloy, 904L is extremely resistant and highly polishable. It maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.

Green Dial
The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. Characterised by hour markers fashioned from 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.

 

3135 Movement

This model is equipped with calibre 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 3135 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests. It is fitted with a Parachrom hairspring, offering greater resistance to shocks and to temperature variations. Its architecture, in common with all Oyster watch movements, makes it singularly reliable. 

The Oyster bracelet
The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterlock clasp, which prevents accidental opening, and an ingenious Glidelock, allowing fine adjustments of the bracelet without using any tools - and allowing it to be worn and comfortably over a diving suit.

Unidirectional Rotatable Bezel
The Submariner's rotatable bezel is a key functionality of the watch. Its engraved 60-minute graduations allow a driver to accurately and safely monitor diving time and decompressions stops.

6. Richard Mille Tourbillion

One of the leading avant-gardists

Anyone who wants to deal with trendy brands of today cannot ignore Richard Mille. His products are located in the upper price segment and offer excellence of Haute Horlogerie in contemporary design.

After a preparatory period of three years Richard Mille in 2001 presented his first luxury watch: the Richard Mille RM 001. Since then the brand again and again caused a stir with their futuristic creations. Meanwhile, each new model is expected by the relevant experts in the world of watches with highest attention and examined intensively after appearance.
Company chronology, models and awards

 

Richard Mille is born on 13 February 1951 in Draguignan, France. He studies marketing in Besançon and resides in England for a year to learn the language.

In 1974 Richard Mille works for the watch factory Anguenot near [Besançon]], where he is responsible for the distribution of watches to Latin American. In 1981 the company is taken over by the aircraft and automobile manufacturers Matra. Mille becomes director of Matra's watch department.

In 1992 Richard Mille, together with the Parisian jeweler Alain Mauboussin, founds a watch company, which produces jewelery and sports watches with complications. As a result a collaboration with the watch engineer Giulio Papi from Renault & Papi happens.

 

After leaving Mauboussin in 1999, he moves to the preparation of a watch production on the basis of completely own ideas. With support from Papi in 2001, he launchs the first wristwatch of his own: the RM 001, a tourbillon. It is followed by the RM 002 and in 2002 by the tourbillon model RM 003, this time with dual time-zone. (wiki)
