The Richard Mille RM 56-01 is not just a watch; it’s a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship and innovation in the world of horology. This masterpiece is crafted from sapphire crystal, showcasing the intricate workings of a manual-winding tourbillon movement within. Every component, down to the smallest screw and connector, is visible, emphasizing precision and detail that leaves no room for error.

Richard Mille has pushed the boundaries of watchmaking with the RM 56-01 by using a transparent sapphire crystal baseplate to hold the entire movement. This not only gives the watch an entrancing appearance but also highlights the engineering brilliance behind its creation. The movement features hour and minute displays, a power-reserve indicator at the 11 o’clock position, a torque indicator at 2 o’clock, and a function selector at 4 o’clock.

The pursuit of ultimate transparency has driven engineers at Richard Mille to craft the central bridge and third wheel from sapphire crystal as well. The central bridge is adorned with decorative engravings, which enhance its strength while significantly reducing weight.

Made with sapphire crystal and titanium, the RM 56-01 movement withstands extreme temperature fluctuations and resists wear, all while delivering extraordinary chronometric performance stability. This ultimate creation by Richard Mille stands as a monumental achievement in the field of transparent watch technology.

Due to the immense complexity involved in crafting sapphire crystal, the RM 56-01 is produced in extremely limited quantities, making it a true collector’s item for those who appreciate the pinnacle of watchmaking art.
