Richard Mille RM 62-01 Tourbillon Vibrating Alarm — ACJ Carbon Edition
ZF Factory 1:1 Super Clone
The ZF Factory RM 62-01 Tourbillon ACJ Edition brings together the worlds of aviation, haute horlogerie, and material engineering into one bold masterpiece. Originally co-developed with Airbus Corporate Jets, this timepiece redefined what a travel complication could be — replacing sound with vibration for absolute discretion in executive environments.
ZF Factory’s 1:1 super clone version captures the same daring geometry and layered construction as the genuine model. The Carbon TPT® case combines alternating layers of carbon and quartz fibers, giving it that distinctive wood-grain texture and ultra-light strength. Each case takes dozens of hours of CNC machining to achieve its asymmetric profile — no two pieces are exactly alike.
The dial is a mechanical landscape. The upper scale displays the dual time indicator and alarm setting window, while the lower half exposes the manual tourbillon mechanism, rotating silently within a deep skeletonized bridge structure. Every bridge, screw, and wheel is individually finished to mirror the original’s three-dimensional depth and mechanical layering.
The red rubber strap injects color and vitality — a nod to RM’s sporting DNA — while the matte carbon case conveys aerospace precision.
This is not merely a watch. It’s a wearable engine.

Collector’s Perspective
The RM 62-01 ACJ is perhaps the boldest expression of Richard Mille’s engineering ethos — blending horological purity with the precision of aviation technology. The ZF Factory’s interpretation preserves this essence remarkably well: the interplay of black carbon, luminous scales, and kinetic architecture evokes the same energy and confidence as the original.
From the tactile feel of the oversized crown to the dial’s deep mechanical symmetry, the ZF version delivers a visually identical experience on the wrist. It’s a piece that demands attention not through flash, but through complexity — a watch that speaks the language of innovation.
For collectors, this model represents the peak of futuristic tourbillon design — where Swiss-style artistry meets the fearlessness of modern materials.
