CALIBER RM052: manual winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes. Dimensions: 42.70 mm x 50.00 mm x 15.95 mm. MAIN FEATURES POWER RESERVE Circa 48 hours.
BASEPLATE AND BRIDGES IN GRADE 5 TITANIUM
The RM 052 revolves around the skull. This is fascinating from an artistic point of view, but even more so from a technical point of view. The baseplate has been finished in grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible, highly corrosion-resistant and remarkably rigid alloy, which enables the gear train to function effortlessly. The alloy is 90% titanium, 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. This combination further increases its mechanical properties, which explains its frequent use in the aerospace, aeronautical and automobile industries.
The upper and lower jaws holds the tourbillon cage jewel. The rear of the skull acts as a central bridge. The “Jolly Roger” comes to life thanks to the 4 bridges that link the movement to the case. The skeletonized baseplate and the bridges have been subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimize their resistance capacities.
BALANCE WHEEL WITH VARIABLE INERTIA
The free-sprung balance provides better reliability in the event of shocks, movement assembly and disassembly. It also guarantees better chronometric results over an extended period of time. There is no need for an index plate, allowing more precise and frequent adjustment using 4 setting screws.
FAST ROTATING BARREL (6 hours per revolution instead of 7.5 hours)
This type of barrel provides the following advantages:
The phenomenon of periodic internal mainspring adhesion is significantly diminished, thereby increasing performance. Provision of an excellent mainspring delta curve with an ideal power reserve/performance and regularity ratio.
BARREL PAWL WITH PROGRESSIVE RECOIL
This device permits a profitable winding gain (circa 20 %), especially during the winding start. It is also helpful in the distribution of the mainspring’s internal tension.
WINDING BARREL TEETH AND THIRD-WHEEL PINION WITH CENTRAL INVOLUTE PROFILE
The central involute profile of the winding barrel teeth and pinion provides an optimal pressure angle of 20°. This promotes effective rotary motion and allows for compensation of possible variations in the engagement of the going train thus insuring excellent torque transmission with a distinct improvement in performance.
SPLINE SCREWS IN GRADE 5 TITANIUM FOR THE BRIDGES
This permits better control of the torque applied to the screws during assembly. These screws are therefore unaffected by physical manipulation during assembly or disassembly and age well. This impressive timepiece is available here.

“Occasional furniture”. The name should be self explanatory, but it is somewhat incorrect in most cases. These pieces tend to lie around the house, stacked in a corner, or in an unused room. When space is an issue, as is the case for most European city dwellers, an object such as a folding chair will clutter up the precious available space.
The Hanger Chair is a folding chair based on one of the ultimate storage systems: the modest hanger. It allows us to store clothes in an orderly fashion. Most houses or flats are equipped with a wardrobe to receive the object.
By morphing the function of the hanger with that of the folding chair, a new hybrid is born: a Hanger Chair that has a function, even when not in use, to store our clothes in an orderly fashion. Philippe Malouin

Club Chair
The Club chair has a limited release of only ten and is authenticated by an engraved polished brass plaque. Based on a classic chesterfield design, the buttons have been replaced with LED light fittings and capped with a fairground bulb casing. The frame was painstakingly adapted to be able to facilitate all 85 of the light fittings, but the upholstery needed to have the same classic style as an original. The lights are also on six channel phasing unit which means they are programmed to move in the same way a fairground ride would, they can also be programmed to be still. The piece is a juxtaposition of the very formal gentleman’s favourite with end of the pier entertainment. A familiar and iconic item all of sudden becomes very surreal.
Luminaire Bérgere Chair
This original antique Bérgere chair was found in a flea market in North Paris, and brought back to London to form part of this collection. The piece was left unrestored and then adorned in turquoise neon giving it new life but without forgetting its journey. This very unique and one-off piece has been authenticated with a brass plaque. This piece is now sold, however similar pieces can be commissioned.
Electric Louis
Part of a limited edition of twenty-five, the Electric Louis is hand carved in Mahogany, lacquered to a high gloss finish and then adorned in neon, identified by a silver plaque .

We were quite impressed with the Cross Coupe concept that Volkswagen unveiled this year at the Tokyo Motor Show, and we’re sure you were too. Actually, the car’s success was so big, that now we hear rumors of a possible production version.
The company’s executives believe that CUVs will gain more and more popularity among customers in the future, and they are giving serious thoughts to creating at least one production version of the alluring concept.
The car is apparently a preview of Volkswagen’s future crossover range, but we believe that this is only true with respect to the car’s looks. We don’t expect the hybrid powertrain (with two electric motors) to also find room on the production lines. At least not yet. Writing by Mary / source luxedb.com
