At the avant-garde of technology, the RALF TECH RTH002 Hybrid mechanism sits at the crossing of two universes and combines the best of them. In brief, the Hybrid movement is at the same time a quartz mechanism and an automatic. The Hybrids In fact the Hybrid system produces the energy necessary to function utilising the movement of the wrist. Such energy is then stored in an accumulator with a lifetime of 10 years. Working without batteries, this movement has a very low environmental impact and affords an extraordinary energetic performance: 100 million timepieces equipped with the Hybrid system use less energy than a 100 watts light bulb! The RTH002 Hybrid is equipped with an ultra fast rotor that could rotate to up to 100 000 rounds per minute, 5 times faster than the maximum regimen on a formula 1 engine. This innovative system allows an unparalleled precision. On average, our RTH002 Hybrid is 15 times more precise than a traditional automatic movement. Fully charged, a watch equipped RALF TECH mechanism RTH002 Hybrid works up to 180 days after you have carried for the last time and then restart in an instant, without hesitation. RALF TECH has been using Hybrid movements since 2008.

RALF TECH is, by definition, a «Niche Brand». Independent by conviction, atypical by nature, irreverent by spirit, the Maison ignores completely the rules and diktats of marketing. This is RALF TECH, neither follows an established school of thought nor a story already written. Watchmaking and design are at the centre, everything else is secondary. Watchmakers and designers have not only the right but also the mission to explore, invent, try... and at the end to question everything. RALF TECH is not destined to mass markets and big numbers. Does not strive to be common or at the wrist of everyone. It is not possible to find it in department stores, big watch chains, airports. But you can find our unique timepieces at the wrist of the true horology enthusiast, passionate and informed. Horology is an Art. It mixes with ease vintage and modern, tradition and technology. Edition Manufacture is the pinnacle of this philosophy: extraordinary timepieces, hand made to order, of exquisite artistic and horological value, are truly unique pieces of art to be cherished and appreciated and coveted worldwide by true connoisseurs of horology. Each piece is made to order and bespoke for the owner, this is beyond ultra limited editions of common manufacturers, this is truly one of a kind!
The Automatics All the RALF TECH Automatic Movements and Automatic Chronographs are internally modified ETA movements. Because of the size of our timepieces (47.5mm case diameter and 195 grams for a WRX Automatic Chrono), it is indispensable to modify the structure and the mass of the rotor in order to compensate the inertial energy generated by the weight of our cases. The WRX Automatic Chronographs is equipped with RTAC001 based on a VALJOUX 7750. The WRX and WRV Automatics use the movement RTA001 built modifying an ETA 2824-2. With such modifications the WRX Automatic Chronographs and the WRX Automatics can achieve a power reserve of 40 and 44 hours respectively.

Academie We already know that RALF TECH equips many Special Forces units throughout the world. But before the "operators" become operatives in their units, the majority of them go through prestigious military academies. Similarly, the new ACADEMY model is the entry point into the RALF TECH universe. Military academy, police academy... RALF TECH naturally dedicates this novelty to those who decide one day to risk their lives to protect our own. More traditional than its predecessors, easier to wear thanks to more accommodating dimensions, ACADÉMIE pays homage to the cadets and their instructors.
Academie Aesthetically vintage, ACADÉMIE is both classic and timeless. Its round case shows a decidedly simple shape; fully polished or satin, the case is thin and adorned by slightly elongated lugs that ensure elegance of design and comfort to the wearer. Equipped with an automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, ACADÉMIE is assembled in France in a Parisian workshop. "Made in France", again a first for RALF TECH. ACADÉMIE remains faithful to its origins as a "scuba diving" instrument with a screw-down crown guaranteeing a real water resistance of 200meters.
