Overview

Series production tourbillon

The RM 002 is the series production version of the RM 001. It uses sapphire crystals front and back with no conventional dial, leaving the movement architecture visible from both sides.

The reference introduced the function selector, operated by a pusher in the centre of the crown, which moves between winding (W), neutral (N) and hand-setting (H) and indicates the selected position on the dial. The first execution was produced in white gold, red gold and platinum across 75 pieces.
