One is the British high-performance super sports car manufacturer McLaren, which is the first to launch the Ultimate series super run for the US market, and the other is the Swiss watchmaking brand RICHARD MILLE’s new model RM 11-03 launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year. The McLaren automatic flyback chronograph was also unveiled in Las Vegas for the first time on the same stand.

The speed and power performance of the McLaren ULTIMATE series super run is amazing.

A straight-line acceleration with a dusty ride and a top speed of 211 mph make this new model stand out at this year’s Las Vegas Auto Show.

With a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, it has a maximum power of 800 hp and a peak torque of 590 lb-ft. In other words, the ULTIMATE series of super-runners currently has the most powerful road sports car powertrain from McLaren.

The RM 11-03 McLaren automatic flyback chronograph is also such a model that has achieved a major breakthrough. Following the partnership with McLaren last year, RICHARD MILLE has been researching how to inject unique designs into this automatic flyback chronograph with innovative materials and modern craftsmanship, which are both lightweight and comfortable to wear. It is also as functional and extremely durable as McLaren’s supercar, while also taking into account the fascinating curves of aesthetic design. “This idea means accepting real technical challenges and conceiving new ideas that are different from the decorative inscriptions on the dial.” RICHARDMILLE engineer Fabrice Namura worked closely with McLaren Design Director Rob Melville to try to get from McLaren luxury sports and super The sports car draws on the fascinating design elements and shows it on this special cooperation watch.

The RM 11-03 McLaren automatic flyback chronograph case was finally selected with TPT® carbon fiber and orange TPT® quartz fiber to meet the light and durable needs while paying tribute to McLaren’s logo color.

The TPT® carbon fiber case is fitted with a titanium alloy button that echoes the unique headlight design of the McLaren 720S supercar. The titanium inlay with a decorative bezel, with the McLaren logo, is shaped like the intake pipe of the classic McLaren F1. A complex 5-grade titanium crown, like the McLaren lightweight wheel. The McLaren Speedmark logo was integrated into a rubber strap developed specifically for the timepiece. TPT® carbon fiber enhances the mechanical properties of the RM 11-03 McLaren automatic flyback chronograph, making it resistant to harsh environments, just like McLaren’s supercars.

In addition, under the “hood” of the RM 11-03 McLaren automatic flyback chronograph, the RMAC3 automatic movement, which was first introduced in 2016, is equipped with a flyback timing function, which symbolizes galloping. The track is ready, and the flyback function instantly resets the time to quickly restart the timing. The movement is driven by side-by-side twin-spring and variable inertia balances with a power reserve of up to 55 hours. The spring winding is guaranteed by a variable geometry automatic disc, which is characterized by an effective adjustment according to the degree of movement of the wearer. Just like the ULTIMATE series super-run, it interprets a pure connection between the wearer and the watch. And relationship.
