RM 74-01 Automatic Winding Tourbillon
$269.00
UNIQUELY APPEALING AND TECHNICALLY COMPLEX
The RM 74-01 and RM 74-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillons offer two new versions of the fully in-house automatic tourbillon calibre. These two striking models, both with the same ultra-skeletonised heart, are distinguished by the materials used for their cases as well as by their aesthetics, making them fraternal twins with unique personalities.
The characteristically slender lines of the RM 74-01 highlight its tourbillon, combining elegance and watchmaking science to perfection.
IN-HOUSE CALIBRE CRMT6
Skeletonised automatic-winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes and variable-geometry rotor.
BASEPLATE AND BRIDGES MADE OF GRADE 5 TITANIUM
The baseplate and bridges of the RM 74-01 are crafted of grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible, highly corrosion-resistant and remarkably rigid alloy, which enables the gear train to function effortlessly. The alloy is 90% grade 5 titanium, 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. This combination further increases the material’s mechanical properties, which explains its frequent use in the aerospace, aeronautics and automotive industries.
The skeletonised baseplate and bridges were subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimise their resistance capacities.
CASE IN GREY CERMET
A material exclusive in watchmaking to Richard Mille, grey Cermet combines the lightness of titanium with the hardness of a ceramic. It consists of a metallic zirconium matrix associated with high-performance ceramic that gives the material its singular grey colour.
The production process is no less extreme than the material itself. Heating and forming such different materials together at high temperatures without adulterating their respective quali¬ties and achieving a homogenous material is no mean feat, and one rendered all the more difficult as the composition eschews the nickel and cobalt generally used in this family of hard materials for a material that is fully REACH compliant.
John Smith –
The rotor moves so smoothly and keeps the watch powered perfectly. Everything about this piece screams precision.
Michael Johnson –
The balance between complexity and style is flawless. Wears like a million bucks.
James Williams –
It feels like it should cost ten times more. The weight, finish, and mechanical motion are unreal.
David Brown –
I love how the movement winds itself just by wearing it. Definitely feels like a high-end tourbillon.
Robert Jones –
The brushed case, the skeletonized dial, even the screwsevery part is just beautifully executed.
William Garcia –
Feels like something you’d see behind glass in a watch exhibition. But I get to wear it every day ??
Joseph Martinez –
This one is for serious watch guys. Its mechanical art with function.
Charles Rodriguez –
Smooth rotation, amazing power reserve, and it keeps perfect time. Couldnt ask for more.
