Catalogue Essay
Richard Mille released his first model, the RM001 in 2001, and thus began an independent brand known for visionary and avant-garde designs with an aesthetic never seen before in the history of watchmaking. Since their beginning, Mille has pushed the limits of horology making some of the most technical watches of the 21st century. His cutting-edge designs are immediately recognizable, and are sophisticated, practical, and comfortable on the wrist. The movements are manufactured to be worn in extreme conditions using revolutionary materials.

First released in 2014, the RM60-01 was introduced for the Les Violes de St. Barth Regatta, one of the world’s top sailing regattas. The model is a true tool watch offering a host of complications to help both skipper and crew. In addition to the flyback chronograph and 60-minute countdown timer, the RM60-01 offers a unique navigational 360 compass bezel calibrated for both hemispheres. By aligning the UTC hand with the sun and bezel cardinal points, sailors can determine their direction without other instruments. The titanium case is lightweight with oversized chronograph pushers featuring colored accents for ease of use.

The present model from circa 2021 is fresh-to-the-market offered by the original owner. The watch is preserved in excellent condition and complete with its accessories. The RM60-01 is a highly complicated, charismatic flyback chronograph that is comfortable to wear – a perfect companion for a day of sailing or around the world excursions.

Richard Mille

Swiss | 1999
Established 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.
