Overview
Snow setting across the case
In a snow setting the stones are laid in varying sizes and without a repeating pattern, so that the metal beneath is almost entirely concealed and the surface reads as a continuous field rather than as rows. The case here is white gold, the inner flange red gold, the pushers black and the strap white rubber; only the case screws break the field.
Snow is a setting TECHNIQUE rather than a coverage tier, which is what distinguishes it from the mid setting on the preceding card. The two are not points on the same scale.
Key details
Design and engineering
- Snow settingStones of differing diameters set without a regular grid, the beads worked so that the metal is concealed and the reflections do not align.
- Calibre CRMC1Skeletonised movement with automatic bidirectional winding, hours, minutes, small seconds, date, flyback chronograph, function indicator and stop seconds. It is 6.05 mm thick, comprises 425 components, runs on 39 jewels at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), and provides around 50 hours of power reserve regardless of how much the chronograph is used.
- Flyback chronograph with two oscillating pinionsPatented by Richard Mille and the first chronograph to use two oscillating pinions. The pinions are mounted on rockers actuated by a six-column wheel, and draw power directly from the barrel rather than through the timekeeping gear train, so that the chronograph’s three counters are supplied at the point where torque is greatest and the display is disengaged from the chronograph’s seconds wheel. Richard Mille specifies the arrangement as thinner than a vertical clutch and less sensitive to disturbance.
- Baseplate and bridgesGrade 5 titanium — 90% titanium, 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium — microblasted with a grey electroplasma treatment.
- Platinum rotorBidirectional and compact, allowing efficient winding within the movement’s height.
- Fast-rotating barrelOne revolution every five hours, which Richard Mille specifies for reduced periodic internal mainspring adhesion and smoother power delivery.
- Tripartite case38.40 × 47.34 × 11.68 mm, water-resistant to 30 m via three nitrile O-ring seals, assembled with 20 grade 5 titanium spline screws and abrasion-resistant 316L stainless steel washers.
