Overview
Automatic with oversize date
The RM 010 is Richard Mille’s non-tourbillon automatic, built around a skeletonised movement with hours, minutes, seconds and a date at 7 o’clock. The baseplate and bridges are grade 5 titanium — 90% titanium, 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium — ribbed using a methodology drawn from racing car engine development to reduce weight while retaining strength and flatness. Richard Mille notes that almost two kilos of pressure are held under control within the movement.
The case was the subject of a year of research and development. Producing each one requires 68 stamping operations across the bezel, middle section and case back, with 202 separate machining operations per rough case. This example is cased in 18k white gold.
