This is a series project in which the elite editor of "Chronos Japanese version" uses down the topical watches to comment.In this corner, which is the “extra edition”, the seven selections that appeared in the first special feature in the November 2017 issue, “Thorough impressions of the current masterpiece machine” are cross -reviewed while changing testers.In this magazine, let's make Richard Mill, editor -in -chief of Hirota Hakase, and "back impression" without permission for Suzuki 2!
鈴木裕之：取材・文Text by Hiroyuki SuzukiRichard Mill with an exceptional aura
“裏インプレ”というお題でまず考えたのは「リシャール・ミルをしてせんべろ」。発想が貧困すぎてスミマセン……。もちろんこの後、ベタな発想に基づく“リシャール・ミルをして”シリーズが何件か続くが、いくら高価で素晴らしい時計を身に着けても「決して女性にウケることはないのだ」という厳しい現実を再確認してきましたとさ（笑）。Richard Mill is listed on the first watch that he wants to make his arms someday.I'm sorry for the sudden personal affair, but I wrote the third RM book published by Gentosha, "Reasons for Richard Mill is too terrible 62" (co -authored by a senior journalist Kosuke Kawakami).These days, I had many opportunities to pick up the actual machine, but as expected, the wearing test is my first experience in my life.The first impression of actually taking Richard Mill to the city is already a mess.Even if she wore Philip, she wouldn't be so nervous.Richard Mill has so many exceptional aura.
The first thing that is exceptional is that it is overwhelmingly light.With this alone, the body reacts that it is not a normal watch.The closest weight is the G-SHOCK of the rugging around the frogman.However, the splendor of the wearing feeling that gets familiar with the arm is a point that I could not understand just by looking at it.It was still hot to actually carry out the wearing test, but there is no feeling of sticking with the fin -shaped flaps on the rubber strap.The slightly soft rubber material is carefully treated with a parting line, showing a dignity suitable for a luxury watch.Or rather, how did you pull this strap?(What is the division of the mold?), Similar to the complex shape.
Well, I was surprised to hear that the titanium screws made in Richard Mill were about 2.2 million Swiss francs (about 260 million yen), but the rubber strap was not surprising.I didn't notice the goodness ...A watch that has been discovered one after another by wearing it is really true.
Another point that is increasing usability is the low rotor sound. It is a familiar configuration equipped with a Voche -based automatic winding and a variable rotor, but the bearing sound is smaller than expected. Combined with overwhelming lightness, it is so comfortable that it makes you forget that you are on your arm. This Vochi base machine is a basic caliber without a function selector, so it can be operated in the same ryus position as usual, so it is easy to use. Hakase Hirota, who was in charge of the impression in this magazine, pointed out that he had a "some junctional jumping", but there was no needle flying while I was wearing it. On the other hand, I was worried about the lightness of Ryuzu operation. Richard Mill's Ryuzu is a big point in the design, so it is not strongly pointed out, but the ryus is still large, so the operation itself is a lighter impression. Of course, in consideration of the impact on the movement, it does not require excessive torque, but I personally prefer a little more response.
Japan limited model "Japan Blue"
The exterior of the Japan -only model "Japan Blue" is different from the regular model, and the bezel and backcase are carbon TPT®.Compared to ordinary carbon, it is a material with a skirt -stick performance of about 200 % improvement, and Hirota Hakase said that when picking up, he received an endorsement saying, "You can scratch it with a driver."I didn't try it.However, thanks to this material characteristics, it is also true that it was used without being too nervous.The high scratch performance has an absolute advantage that the clock can be used with a beautiful manner forever.
What I actually realized using Richal Mill was surprisingly a "ordinary watch" (contrary to the first impression).It is noteworthy that it embodies the individuality that can only be done with Richard Mill without sacrificing the performance of a practical watch.In exchange for the missing individuality, there are too many clocks that sacrifice practicality and wearing, and this is one of the beauty that could not be understood unless it was actually worn.If you're so familiar with your skin, I'd like one for everyday use, but it's a dream that is too luxurious.
