The Richard Mille collection distinguishes itself by having created not one, but several models within a short time span that have become recognized by collectors and insiders alike as ultimate icons of contemporary watch making. And one of the most popular icons must certainly be the RM 010 automatic, whose pure lines and functions have always found resonance with clients everywhere. Never one to sit still, Richard Mille felt that the moment has arrived to present a new iteration destined to become another icon of the future: the RM 67-01 Automatic Extra flat.
Main characteristics
The mechanical aspect of creating a thin automatic has its own set of particular difficulties, but one of the dual challenges is to combine this type of movement design with the creation of a sense of visual depth within the movement – a central tenet to Richard Mille’s approach. The extreme use of skeletonisation in the RM 67-01 carries many clues in this respect, however a new approach to the dial construction carries the eyes from the edges of the bezel in three layers to the central area’s hour and minute hands.

RM 51-02
This fine jewellery tourbillon takes all of its cues from the swirling form of a spiral, a mathematical shape expressed in many organic forms around us in the natural environment.
The spray of diamonds emanating outwards in 14 rays from the tourbillon escapement at 6 o’clock can also be associated with the spiralling vortex one perceives in myriad galaxies, including the Milky Way, as well as an allusion to the power of the whirlwind or the spirally formed patterns of organic growth observed among certain sea creatures, plants, trees and animals.
Limited edition of 30 pieces.
