ARPIEM RD TT

ARPIEM RD TT

€479.00Price
Thanks to its character and originality, the new RD illustrates the DNA of the Arpiem brand.
It offers a unique complication, with a rotating dial that allows you to shift the dial by 60° and maintain intuitive reading of the time while driving – or on the handlebars – of your 4 or 2 wheeler.
This offset dial appeared in the middle of the last century, initially on pilot's watches. Quickly, it was proposed for models intended for car drivers and motorcyclists, this reading shift proving to be suitable when the wrist rests on the steering wheel or on the handlebar branch of the motorcycle. Even today, this type of watch remains the "driver's watch".
The complication offered on the RD allows the dial to be locked in the traditional “12 o'clock” position (REST position), or to be shifted (DRIVE position) by 60° to the “2 o'clock” position. This is a unique feature developed by Arpiem.

The RD TT evokes the mythical and singular speed race contested on the roads of the Isle of Man, which form the "MOUNTAIN COURSE" racetrack developing 60.7 km. It is the most dangerous le circuit in the world, with a frightening record of 265 pilots who lost their lives between 1921 and 2022. ..

In the 1950s, the "Ton up boys" were designating young men driving motorcycles exceeding the speed of 100 miles per hour (this 100-mile limit being called "ton up"), i.e. 167 km/h . By extension, the TT was called "Ton up boys Race", the race of those who cross at more than 100 miles per hour).

AFFORDABLE QUALITY

Arpiem has developed a short design / manufacturing / distribution circuit, in order to provide the right quality at the best price.

 

The choices are always those of  affordable quality: proven and recognized Swiss or Japanese movements, the use of surgical-grade 316L steel for the cases, crystal-quality sapphire glass with anti-reflection treatment, DLC treatment ( Diamond Like Carbon) for black cases rather than the less resistant PVD treatment, the use of stainless steel deployment buckles for the straps, original and rewarding packaging.

RARE WATCHES

All Arpiem watches are produced in numbered limited series. These are watches that are and will remain rare. To own an Arpiem is to stand out, not to wear everyone's watch. But being all numbered, yours is and will remain unique.

WATCHES THAT TELL STORIES AND CARRY EMOTIONS

Arpiem watches are distinctive through their color combinations and graphic details. Each model refers to a place, a man or a significant event in the world of motorsports dear to Vincent Repoux, the creator of the brand. As a race fan, his emotions are mainly linked to sounds, shapes, smells and colors, making him a follower of the romantic period of the competitions of the 60s and 70s. He expresses and transmits his emotions in his creations .
