JB Factory Edition — White Fluoroelastomer Rubber Strap
JB Factory’s iteration of the RM 68-01 Cyril Kongo stands out for its structural ambition, utilizing a true asymmetric NTPT carbon case that tapers in both thickness and height. It represents a significant technical step up from lower-tier factories that rely on standard mechanical movements hidden beneath decorative plates, offering an authentic case geometry critical to this specific reference.
Powered by a custom real tourbillon caliber, the mechanism features a fully operational tourbillon cage at the 6 o’clock position. While the gear train and bridge architecture have been simplified compared to the genuine article, the kinetic presence of the rotating escapement remains historically accurate to the Richard Mille platform.
The case replicates the unique geometry of the genuine, decreasing in thickness from 9 to 3 o’clock. The graffiti-style dial and movement bridges utilize a multi-layer manual micro-spray technique to emulate Cyril Kongo’s artwork, though it presents a more standard baked paint texture under macro inspection compared to the genuine’s oily, jade-like finish.
- Movement: Custom Real Tourbillon Caliber — Approximately 36 hours
- Case Material: Asymmetric NTPT Carbon Fiber, [unconfirmed] lug-to-lug, 100g
- Bezel: NTPT Carbon Fiber, layered texture aligns with mid-case
- Crystal: Sapphire with anti-reflective coating
- Bracelet: White fluoroelastomer rubber with folding clasp
- Water Resistance: Stated 30m — professional pressure test recommended before swimming. Do not operate chronograph pushers or the crown while the watch is submerged.
This reference caters to collectors seeking the kinetic appeal of a functioning tourbillon wrapped in avant-garde RM geometry. It demands a wearer comfortable with high-visibility, contemporary horological art.
