Overview

Movement supported on a woven mesh of a single 0.27 mm steel cable

Made for the tenth anniversary of the partnership, the RM 27-04 supports its entire movement on a micro-blasted mesh covering 855 square millimetres, woven from a single braided steel cable 0.27 mm in diameter and held under tension by two tensioners in PVD-treated 5N gold. The suspended calibre resists accelerations of more than 12,000 g, a record for Richard Mille at the time.

The case is TitaCarb®, a high-performance polyamide strengthened with 38.5% carbon fibre, giving a tensile strength of 370 MPa (3,700 kg/cm²). The complete watch weighs 30 grammes including the strap. The edition runs to 50 pieces.

Design and engineering

  • Cable meshThe movement rests on a mesh of 855 mm² formed from one braided steel cable 0.27 mm across, micro-blasted, tensioned by two PVD-treated 5N gold tensioners.
  • Shock resistance beyond 12,000 gThe suspended calibre withstands accelerations above 12,000 g.
  • TitaCarb®A polyamide with 38.5% carbon fibre content and a tensile strength of 370 MPa, among the most resistant polymers available. Its fracture resistance approaches that of steel, and it combines rigidity with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and resistance to humidity and temperature, which suits it to machining case components.
  • Weight of 30 gThe figure includes the strap.
  • Case finishingSandblasted and polished surfaces.
