Richard Mille’s New Tourbillon and Automatic
You may want to head back to school for a Ph.D in material science before reading any further. Describing his new Aerodyne Tourbillon, Richard Mille says “Orthorhombic titanium aluminides are new group of alloys, developed from the main class of titanium aluminides, which possess a specific crystalline molecular structure ordered on the orthorhombic phase of Ti2AlNb. Its use within a honeycombed geometrical pattern was originally the subject of research by NASA for application as a core material of supersonic aircraft wings, where resistance to extremely high temperatures and torsion is paramount…”Mille continues “The alloy in this honeycombed form has unparalleled stiffness, a low thermal expansion coefficient and exceptional torsion resistance. The actual shape of the baseplate itself as seen from the dial side resembles the trench-like V-shaped profile of a flying wing aircraft where the wing tips are positioned higher than the central body of the aircraft it

from around the net:Crushed Wrist WatchIn this new eManuscript from xxxxx, we are pleased to bring you a smashing and hilarious routine by Sam Berland.. Here's the effect. A wrist watch is borrowed; which the performer places to his ear. He notes that the ticking seems to be weak and the watch may need winding. After the performer apparently ¡°over winds¡± the watch; a loud clicking noise is heard followed by a buzzing sound as if the spring has completely unwound. The performer reassures the nervous owner that he can fix it. He takes out a small oil can and ¡°lubricates¡± the watch and then, listens to it again. Happily, the performer says the watch seems to be working now and all that remains, is the ¡°shock resistance¡± test! The performer inserts the watch into an envelope and places it on the table. Next, he brings out a hammer and hits the watch with a light blow. A peculiar pop is heard. The watch is removed from the envelope and a gear falls from it. The performer forces a smile, as

15400 vs 15710
Hi allI had more or less decided on the 15400 black dial. Went to try it with my Wife. Great service and the lady recommended me to try other models. Bad moveTried the diver, the roo black theme with the red needles, roc. Really don't like the chronos, I prefer the clean lookThe diver actually made my heart sing. It's so comfortable and easy to wear. Love the size and most of all the wrist presenceStill like the 15400 cause of the details and the whole finishing from dial to bracelet is simply outstanding. But i know I can't wear that often.The Wife is on the 15400 side as she felt I look great with it and she doesn't like the diver cause of the rubber strap. She felt that the strap doesn't look good and commend the price point.What are your thoughts? If it helps I have a gmt2C, subC and a pam 372 currently
