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.
Key details
Design and engineering
- Ribbed grade 5 titanium baseplateRibbed to reduce weight while retaining strength and flatness, using a methodology applied in racing car engine development.
- Variable-geometry rotorArm and flange in grade 2 titanium with six-position adjustment via grade 5 titanium screws, wings in 18-carat high-palladium white gold, weight segment in tungsten/cobalt alloy, ceramic ball bearings. Unidirectional, anticlockwise winding.
- Case production68 stamping operations across the three main case components; 202 separate machining operations per rough case. Machine tooling adjustment takes 8 days for the bezel and 5 days each for the middle section and case back.
- Three-position stemManual winding, time setting and date adjustment.
- Black carbon fibre flangeThe interior flange is carbon fibre.
