All about the RALF TECH The Beast manufacture caliber First Edition Black TBM1101

A name that provokes

That such an Anglo-Saxon name as THE BEAST is placed before a completely French project is no coincidence: it is meant to emphasize the raw, unbroken power that RALF TECH has technically implemented in this model. The designation acts like a contrast agent to French precision — making the watch both provocative and elegant in one breath.

Limited edition with a statement

Only 77 Copies of this edition are being made, and this quantity is deliberately chosen: it not only gives the timepiece exclusivity but also emphasizes its status as a collector's item. Anyone who wears one of these watches owns a numbered testament to French craftsmanship, produced in small batches and strictly controlled.

A manufacture movement, 100% French

At its heart beats the RTM001 automatic movement, completely developed and manufactured in France. Its design aims to combine power and endurance — up to an impressive power reserve that can reach up to 77 hours depending on usage. This caliber is more than just a motor: it is the technical identity of the watch.

Depth records as a quality feature

The technical tests read like an adventure report: real tested deployments up to −3000 meters and static pressure tests up to −4000 meters prove that the watch not only looks massive externally but has real, verifiable depth reserves. This makes it one of the few serial watches worldwide that can present such test values.

Size, presence, and ergonomics

With a diameter of 47.7 mm, THE BEAST is not a discreet appearance — rather, it makes a clear statement on the wrist without neglecting wearability: the proportions are designed so that despite the impressive size, an ergonomic fit remains possible and the watch does not become uncomfortable even during extended use.

Material choice and workmanship

The quality of workmanship is oriented towards professional requirements: robust case materials, precise seals, and manufacturing designed for durability. This technical rigor makes it clear that the watch is not intended as a mere designer object but as a reliable instrument for extreme conditions.

Elegance meets technology on the strap

As a counterpoint to the massive construction, THE BEAST wears a hand-stitched black alligator strap that brings elegance to the rugged context. This strap is not only visually noble but also provides comfort and hold — a deliberate connection of civil style and professional robustness.

Who this watch is intended for

THE BEAST is aimed at people who want greatness: collectors, adventurers, and all those who appreciate a technical statement on the wrist. It is an expression of will to perform, a watch that can endure extreme situations as well as impress as an exclusive collector's piece.

Conclusion — Impact and manufacture in one object

In summary, THE BEAST is a provocative, technically exceptional statement: French manufacture, extreme pressure resistance, impressive power reserve, and artisanally refined details like the alligator strap form a watch that functions as much as an instrument as an emotional object. Those seeking the combination of power and precision will find a clear message here.

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!
