All about the Ralf Tech ACADÉMIE MANUFACTURE « FIRST EDITION » CREAM DIAL Limited 22
RALF TECH ACADÉMIE MANUFACTURE “FIRST EDITION”
The ACADÉMIE is the RALF TECH model that best embodies the elegance and artistry of French watchmaking. Since its launch in 2019, this watch has quickly made a name for itself thanks to its classic and timeless design. Now it is equipped with a manufactured caliber for the first time. In addition to the new movement, this model impresses with a lacquered dial, newly designed hands and a sapphire-glazed case back.
Exclusive limitation and high-quality materials
The ACADÉMIE MANUFACTURE “FIRST EDITION” is limited to 22 copies, which underlines its exclusivity. The case is made of polished surgical stainless steel 316L, which is known for both its robustness and its elegant look. With a diameter of 41 mm, the watch is perfect for wrists that value elegance and a modern size.
Innovative manufacture movement
The RTM001 manufacture caliber - a mechanical movement with automatic winding - works inside the watch. It offers a power reserve of up to 77 hours and guarantees high precision and reliability. The sapphire crystal case back reveals this artfully crafted movement, while the individual serial number on the back makes each watch unique.
Elegant details and design
The black, lacquered dial gives the watch a luxurious look, which is complemented by the delicate "Dauphine" hands made of 316L stainless steel. The raised hour indices ensure a harmonious appearance and contribute to excellent readability.
The sapphire crystal in a glass box design is 2.5 mm thick and has an anti-reflective coating to highlight the brilliance of the dial in any lighting situation. The screw-down crown and caseback ensure water resistance up to 50 meters (165 feet).
Versatile bracelet options
The watch comes with a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap that underlines its elegant character. For sportier occasions, a black silicone strap in a tropical design is included in the scope of delivery. Both straps are equipped with a 20 mm pin buckle that provides optimal support and comfort.
Practical accessories and manufacturing
The ACADÉMIE comes in a stylish, gray fabric travel case, ideal for safe transport. Each watch is made in France, which underlines RALF TECH's commitment to traditional craftsmanship and the highest quality standards.

My personal view on the Ralf Tech ACADÉMIE MANUFACTURE « FIRST EDITION » CREAM DIAL Limited 22
""Finally, the Académie is powered by the movement it deserves! Ralf Tech is providing the 'black sheep' of the collection with a high-quality caliber from Pequignet, which performs excellently on the test bench. I certainly appreciate Seiko's NH35. However, in my opinion, this premium watch deserves a different level. The Académie has now become a fully-fledged Ralf Tech!""

FAQs
About me
My name is David, I was born in the late 60s in NRW, now live and work in the beautiful Harz Mountains, and have been running this watch shop, among other things, since spring 2022.
Since 2018, I have also been running my watch blog watchdavid.de, which features hundreds of reviews and watch news. Since then, I have taken thousands of professional watch photos for over 100 watch brands. Many photos can be found in my reviews. I am known worldwide for this.
As a result, I naturally had thousands of watches in my hands. And with this shop, I want to bring you closer to watches that have convinced me in many ways.
So come along on a journey full of watches... off the mainstream... and if you have a question, please feel free to ask me anytime via the form, chat, WhatsApp, email or phone.
I am very much looking forward to meeting you.
PS: My hobbies & passions include the internet (first agency already in 1996), Denmark, France's coasts (Brittany, Normandy & Côte d’Azur), hiking, e-MTB, sales (Bachelor of Sales) and photography.
My Achilles' heel includes children's chocolate, good food, sneakers & of course watches... :-)
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.
The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Cancellation & Return Shipping
You can cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself, I will send you the free return label.
Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of signs of use. After successful inspection, I will refund you the purchase price. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee you that all watches I offer are exclusively new original products. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly point this out (e.g. so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
No response received?
You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?
Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and pushing more and more into spam.
I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.
Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too
Before I ship your order, I carefully check each watch for visible defects.
If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.
My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
