Design and Inspiration

The RM 47 Tourbillon draws inspiration from the samurai culture and their noble principles known as “bushido.” This ethos still holds great significance in Japanese society. The watch features meticulous hand-carved and painted gold samurai armor and swords, crafted by the talented duo Pierre-Alain and Valérie Lozeron. The intricate engravings took a total of 16 hours, followed by an additional nine hours of delicate hand-painting.

Symbolism and Meaning

The armor is crafted from Grade 3N yellow gold, reminiscent of the gold leaf used in ancient Japan to adorn sacred shrines and traditional craftsmanship. Within the design, references to the Asano clan are included, believed by many scholars to embody the true spirit of Bushidō. The Asano clan’s heraldic symbol, known as a Kamon, features prominently on the tourbillon at six o’clock and the winglets of the warrior’s helmet. Another iconic Japanese symbol, the maple leaf, known for its representation of grace, beauty, and the brevity of life, adorns the winding crown.
