Richard Mille introduces the RM 56-01, a masterpiece that embodies the pinnacle of watchmaking craftsmanship with its sapphire crystal marvel. Known as the ‘Watchmaking Architect,’ this new release showcases an extraordinary design that is both intricate and transparent, allowing every detail to be appreciated from all angles.

Crafted with precision, the RM 56-01 is not merely a timepiece but a testament to the artistry and engineering prowess of its creators. The case and internal components are meticulously sized, ensuring that every screw and connection is perfectly aligned. Even the slightest imperfection would be easily visible, highlighting the watch’s exceptional craftsmanship.

The RM 56-01’s manual winding tourbillon movement is supported by a transparent sapphire crystal baseplate. It features hour and minute displays, along with a power reserve indicator at the 11 o’clock position and a torque indicator at the 2 o’clock spot. A function selector is located at 4 o’clock, further reflecting the meticulous attention to detail.

This pursuit of ultimate transparency in a titanium movement inspired the engineers to create both the central bridge and third wheel out of sapphire, enhancing both durability and lightweight structure. The surface of the central bridge is adorned with intricate lines — enhancing strength and reducing weight.

The RM 56-01 is designed to withstand extreme temperature changes and resist friction, ensuring remarkable chronometric performance stability. It is a timeless classic in the world of chronographs.

Richard Mille’s RM 56-01 stands as the perfect expression of the brand’s dedication to transparent movement technology and the art of sapphire crystal crafting. Due to the incredible complexity and craftsmanship involved, this masterpiece is released in a very limited edition.
