Richard Mille RM 055 Jackie Chan for Dragons Heart Foundation

Posted 9 months, 2 weeks ago


Jackie Chan, a true cultural icon, is now honored by one the most exciting contemporary watchmakers.

Richard Mille just launched their newest piece: RM 055 Jackie Chan Toubrilon, especially created for sale at the Jackie Chan auction in benefit of his Dragon's Heart Foundation. Dragon’s Heart charity foundation is established to aid Chinese students in poverty-stricken areas. The auction is scheduled for 14th September, in Beijing.

The auction piece is unique creation, created together with Jackie Chan himself, and Mélanie Treton-Monceyron, Artistic Director to the brand. As you can see on the featured picture, the dial of the watch is decorated with styled charity’s logo. Red, green and blue colors of the logo are nested right in the heart of the movement, to symbolize childhood, love and sharing.

The Dragon’s Heart logo was personally designed by Jackie Chan. Each of the colors has its own meaning: Blue represents the sky, green represents the land, and red stands for the heart. Moreover, the blue figure at the top represents the pure heart of a child, the larger red figure represents Chinese people, and the green figure represents all children. Three Chinese characters at the bottom of the dial are integral parts of charity’s logo, and their meanings are: dragon, child and heart, respectively.



The logo is integrated with hands, and the rest of the movement is still visible from the front. From the back of the watch, the case bears a “Foundation Jackie Chan” engraving and a stamped dragon, which is Jackie Chan’s emblem. The RM 055 JC Jackie Chan's Dragons' Heart Foundation is a rather large piece, crafted in white gold. It boasts 48.18x39.7 millimeters in proportions and comes in classic RM 55 tonneau-shaped case. RM 055 JC is a manually wound tourbillon with hours, minutes, and power reserve indicator. It also has a torque indicator and a function selector. The watch provides approximately 70 hours of power reserve.
