Catalogue Essay
Innovation, artistry and architecture are three key concepts Richard Mille embodies in each of his unique designs. From high-grade complicated movements, 21st century technology and lightweight materials the brand updates traditional horology to a modern age. In partnership with other brands in particular in the automotive world, his creations often feature designs taken from the partner, for example chronograph buttons resembling an F1’s air-intake snorkel.
The concept for the RM010 was a blend of technical knowledge and design to create a watch that was reliable and wearable. Extensive research and development went in to the watch and the result is a subtle and sublime time only automatic wristwatch with date. The skeletonized movement allows the wearer to see the base plate and bridges, along with the revolutionary rotor with variable geometry. This allows for the rotor inertia to be modified depending on the wearer’s lifestyle, so that it can be sped up or slowed down. In excellent overall condition, this technical marvel can please both collectors interested in the technical as well as the design perspective of horology.

Swiss | 1999Established in 1999, Richard Mille's ultra-modern timepieces combine cutting-edge materials from high performance worlds such as Formula 1 racecars with high-end traditional watchmaking. The brand's revolutionary designs, technical breakthroughs and exceptional hand-finishing excite even the most discriminating collectors, and have positioned Richard Mille alongside the top makers of the modern luxury watch world.
Innovative watches, such as the RM 027 Tourbillon, which was the world’s lightest mechanical watch when introduced in 2011, have helped the brand invert the concept of the luxury watch. Key models include the RM 009 Tourbillon cased in Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC), the RM 027-02 Tourbillon made for tennis star Rafael Nadal with a case made from quartz and carbon fiber and the RM 008 split seconds chronograph.
