  • Catalogue Essay

    Richard Mille refers to his timepieces as "racing machines for the wrist," a testament to his commitment to high-performance watchmaking, heavily influenced by the world of motorsports. Among his most notable partnerships is with McLaren, a collaboration that represents a perfect blend of advanced technology, innovation, and performance. Both brands are recognized for their unwavering dedication to excellence and their pursuit of pushing engineering and design boundaries.

    This partnership has birthed iconic models, including the RM 50-03 McLaren F1 and the RM 11-03 McLaren Automatic Flyback Chronograph. The RM 11-03, with its Carbon TPT® and Orange Quartz TPT® case, showcases both durability and McLaren's signature colors. Thoughtfully crafted, the watch features titanium pushers inspired by the McLaren 720S headlights, while its crown mimics the design of a McLaren wheel. Powered by the RMAC3 titanium calibre with a 55-hour power reserve, this timepiece exemplifies both technical innovation and mechanical precision.

    Limited to just 500 pieces, this rare RM 11-03 is offered in impeccable, like-new condition, complete with its full set of accessories. Its large yet lightweight design—thanks to the unique combination of materials used —ensures comfort while making a bold statement. This timepiece is highly sought-after, representing one of the most desirable collaborations between Richard Mille and McLaren.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
