Catalogue Essay
Richard Mille released his first model, the RM001 in 2001, and thus began an independent brand known for visionary and avant-garde designs with an aesthetic never seen before in the history of watchmaking. His cutting edge designs are immediately recognizable, and are sophisticated, practical, and comfortable on the wrist. The movements are manufactured to be worn in extreme conditions using revolutionary materials.

Always pushing the limits of horological excellence, Richard Mille’s RM030 collection was released in 2011 with the introduction of their automatic caliber RMAR1 featuring a patented declutchable rotor, which was in development for over four years. On a standard self-winding movement, the watch winds through the movement of the wearer and when the watch is fully wound, a sliding flange engages in order to protect the movement from overwinding. The RM030’s winding barrel will disconnect from the winding mechanism when the watch is fully wound at 50 hours and re-engages when the power reserve has fallen below 40 hours. This extraordinary technical achievement allows both the movement and the oscillator to maintain the best ratio of constant torque and power, resulting in optimal chronometric performance.

Fresh to the market from the original owner this RM030 is a highly attractive model in both 18K pink gold and Titanium. The skeletonized dial is easily readable and has a winding indicator at 12 o’clock indicating winding phase (on) and disengaged (off). The watch is offered in excellent condition with its accessories. The RM030 is perfect for collectors who seek performance and precision timing in haute horlogerie.

Richard Mille

Swiss | 1999
Established in 1999, Richard Mille's ultra-modern timepieces combine cutting-edge materials from high performance worlds such as Formula 1 racecars with high-end traditional watchmaking. The brand's revolutionary designs, technical breakthroughs and exceptional hand-finishing excite even the most discriminating collectors, and have positioned Richard Mille alongside the top makers of the modern luxury watch world.

Innovative watches, such as the RM 027 Tourbillon, which was the world’s lightest mechanical watch when introduced in 2011, have helped the brand invert the concept of the luxury watch. Key models include the RM 009 Tourbillon cased in Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC), the RM 027-02 Tourbillon made for tennis star Rafael Nadal with a case made from quartz and carbon fiber and the RM 008 split seconds chronograph.
