The Richard Mille RM12-01 NTPT Tourbillon watch is a remarkable blend of innovative materials and architectural watch design. Inspired by the legendary RM012 caliber, this exquisite timepiece is available in various limited editions, exclusively at boutiques in the Americas. The RM12-01 features a unique case construction following the tripartite principle, seamlessly integrating all components.
Borrowing design cues from architectural structures, the movement showcases tubular forms providing optimal stiffness and torsional rigidity. It boasts exceptional thermal and corrosion resistance, with the baseplate uniquely combining function with the movement and bridges for a technically coherent and visually inseparable unit.
The movement showcases a perfect fusion through polishing, satin finishing, circular finishing, and high luster. The integrated baseplate takes inspiration from racing car chassis, enhancing stiffness and impact resistance. A standout feature is the sharp, streamlined curves of the skeletonized bridge encasing the barrel, gear train, and tourbillon, extending to the hand-wound movement’s extremity.
The RM12-01 limited edition case measures approximately 51x42x15mm and is available in Black Carbon TPT, Red Quartz TPT, and White Quartz TPT. This masterful creation is a testament to Richard Mille’s commitment to excellence and innovation in watchmaking.
