Richard Mille has masterfully revisited the iconic RM012 movement by merging material innovation with architectural design. The RM12-01 Tourbillon watch, exclusive to certain American boutiques in limited editions, stands as a testament to Mille’s commitment to excellence. This remarkable timepiece captures the essence of cutting-edge engineering and sleek aesthetics, offering unique features and extraordinary durability.
The watch case of the RM12-01 follows a three-part principle, perfectly integrating all components. Inspired by architectural design, the tubular and tapered structure delivers optimal rigidity and torsional stiffness, coupled with superior thermal and corrosion resistance. The distinctive baseplate uniquely combines functionality with the movement and bridges, creating a seamless, visually cohesive whole.
The movement showcases an impeccable blend of polished, satin-finished, circular-brushed, and high-gloss polished surfaces, proudly highlighting the craftsmanship involved in its creation. Inspired by racing chassis, the integrated baseplate enhances rigidity and resistance to impact. Sharp, streamlined curves encase the barrel, gear train, and tourbillon within the skeletonized bridges, extending to the manual winding movement’s end.
The limited edition RM12-01 features a case size of approximately 51x42x15mm, available in black Carbon TPT, red Quartz TPT, and white Quartz TPT. This exceptional series speaks to those who value innovation, exclusivity, and refined design.
