Catalogue Essay

With the RM 020, Richard Mille reinvents the quintessential pocket watch as the first to utilize a baseplate crafted of carbon nanofiber composite. This re-engineered composite material, originally developed for the extreme environments braved by fighter jets, now provides the optimal foundation for the tourbillon inside the RM 020. The double-barrel architecture supplies an impressive ten days of power reserve.
As one of only five pieces made in titanium and pink gold, the present RM 020 is fitted with a handsome titanium watch chain and desk stand, offering seamless transition from a pocket watch to a desk clock. This fusion of cutting-edge design, innovative materials and old-world mechanical complexity represents the pinnacle of forward-thinking ingenuity from Richard Mille.
This stunning example from circa 2020 is kept in excellent condition, offering collectors a chance to own a radical and versatile pocket watch for the modern age.

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.
