Catalogue Essay
The slim RM 16 is a breakthrough from Richard Mille’s uber engineered movements and as restrained in design as a Richard Mille can be. In fact, according to Mille, creating the RM16 was a difficult stylistic exercise, which called for the creation of a rectangular shape while conserving the brand’s distinguishing design codes.
Even though a time only with date model (the date is very smartly integrated into the numeral 7) the RM16 features the cutting edge technology one can expect from the brand: the openworked bridges and baseplate are made of grade 5 titanium and features a variable geometry rotor. The winding rotor features two “wings” which can be adjusted to modify the inertia, therefore the winding of the rotor can be regulated according to the more or less active lifestyle of the owner.
In overall very attractive condition the present RM16 in titanium offers an opportunity to acquire one of Mille’s more unusual stealth designs.
