Catalogue Essay
The slim RM016 represents a departure from Richard Mille's typically over-engineered tonneau cases, showcasing a design that is as restrained as a Richard Mille can be. According to Mille, creating the RM016 was a challenging stylistic exercise, requiring the development of a rectangular shape while maintaining the brand’s signature design codes.
The open-worked bridges and baseplate are crafted from grade 5 titanium and include a variable geometry rotor. This winding rotor has two “wings” that can be adjusted to modify inertia, allowing the winding of the rotor to be tailored to the owner’s level of activity.
Accompanied by its original warranty paper, the present RM016 is an alternative choice in a landscape of blue dials and white metal cases.

Richard Mille
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.
