Description

Polo is possibly one of the toughest sports for any tourbillon watch to have to deal with. Sudden turns, wild swings, the clash of horses and riders: these are forces far greater than the norms found in other sports. Known as the ‘king of sports’ polo is uniquely elegant and highly physical.

For Pablo Mac Donough, partner of the brand, Richard Mille had an idea for a totally new case design inspired by the tonneau shape and engineered to tolerate the extreme shocks likely to occur during a polo match. He created an ‘armored’ case in titanium carbide with two raised arcs leading to two viewing windows. The movement design and windows are tilted at a 30˚ angle. The seconds run with the tourbillon cage on the left viewing window and on the right the hours and minutes are shown. This angled view is ideal when seen from the rider’s saddle. The highly compact, totally new tourbillon movement design utilizes a highly skeletonized baseplate and bridges with a compact going train-winding barrel arrangement. Since the movement itself is ultra light and tightly unified, it is less susceptible to the centrifugal and centripetal forces generated during a game.

Pablo Mac Donough

Polo has always played a very important role in the Mac Donough’s lives. It is therefore no surprise that the Argentinean began playing polo at only 6 years old in the Nueva Escocia Polo Ranch, Buenos Aires, where Pablo’s father breads his own horses. Pablo Mac Donough played as a pro soon after he finished high school. At 23 years old, Pablo Mac Donough became part of La Irenita where the breeding program for polo horses is held. His career kicked off in 2001 when he won the Camara de Diputados Cup in Buenos Aires. In 2003, he began playing for Ellerstina, one of the best Argentinean Polo teams of the last decade, where he played eight seasons and won the 2010 Argentinean Triple Crown.

In 2010, Pablo Mac Donough was regarded as one of the best polo players in the world when he became Number One of the World Polo Tour Ranking. In May 2011, he joined the elite crowd of the Richard Mille Polo Team alongside H.E Bahar Jefri. Last December, Pablo Mac Donough and La Dolfina won the Argentinian Open confirming his position as World Number One.

The RM 053 Pablo Mac Donough is a limited edition of 15 pieces in microblasted titanium and titanium carbide.

WARRANTY

THE VAULT Warranty

2-Year Limited Warranty

This warranty, provided by THE VAULT, covers the mechanical functions of your automatic watch, including (but not limited to) issues such as running fast/slow or inexplicably stopping functioning. You have a full two years from the date of purchase to send your watch back for servicing. This warranty is applicable exclusively to watches purchased from THE VAULT website. THE VAULT does not make representations on behalf of any watch manufacturer.

Our warranty is comparable to any manufacturer's warranty, with the distinction being that the service will be performed at THE VAULT's location. We employ expert watchmakers qualified to work on all major brands, utilizing factory-authorized replacement parts whenever applicable. Evidence of abuse beyond the factory-specified tolerances will void this warranty. All watches meet the manufacturer’s water resistance specifications, and maintaining the watch crown closed is crucial for preserving this water resistance and preventing damage to the movement.

Warranty Exclusions:

This warranty excludes any water damage due to a loose and/or open crown.
Damage to the crystal due to regular wear is not covered.
Replacement of quartz watch batteries is not offered under this warranty.

Authenticity: All watches sold on THE VAULT website are verified authentic and in working condition. We do not sell replica watches. "Unworn" watches include the original box, instruction booklet, and warranty paperwork/card (unless otherwise noted in the description). "Pre-owned" watches, also verified authentic with no aftermarket parts, are in good working condition but may not include the original box or warranty paperwork. Individual listings will specify what is included with the watch. In lieu of an original box, THE VAULT will provide a store watch box for listings without one.

THE VAULT is not an authorized dealer of the watch brands we sell. We obtain our watches from reputable sources dealing directly with authorized dealers and distributors. The watches may be in "unworn" or "unused" condition or "previously owned." In the absence of condition notes, the customer will assume the watch is "previously owned." THE VAULT makes no representations regarding the validity of any manufacturer’s warranties and does not act as a representative for customers to any watch manufacturers. Any warranties offered by THE VAULT are strictly through the website using our own authorized watchmakers.
