Richard Mille RM 039 Aviator E6-B Tourbillon Flyback – For Pilots, Apparently

Wow Watch Wednesday: De Bethune Tourbillon Regulator
One of the drawbacks (in my opinion at least) of true ‘classic style’ timepieces is that invariably the movement, regardless of its level of complexity, is largely hidden from view to ensure the dial remains clear and uncluttered. The flip side of this of course is that these pieces often look superb and are a perfect study in absolute refinement. That being said De Bethune, the modern masters of haute horology, have decided to ignore this thinking completely (much to our sheer delight) and have instead created the absolutely breath-taking Tourbillon Regulator.
