The RM 16-02 Automatic Extraflat introduces a daring new vision for Richard Mille’s rectangular timepieces, reinterpreting the original RM 016 with a contemporary edge. Its clean, modern lines draw inspiration from Brutalist architecture, creating an urban look that captivates with its intricate interplay of structure and optical illusions. The labyrinthine design invites exploration, blending artistry and innovation into a statement piece that feels both timeless and forward-thinking.
At its heart lies the Calibre CRMA9, a highly sophisticated, ultra-light movement made from grade 5 titanium. This skeletonized engine features 67 chamfered openings, enhancing lightness and transparency while showcasing the technical complexity within. Its bidirectional platinum rotor, mounted on ceramic ball bearings, ensures efficient winding and a reliable 50-hour power reserve. Each component is precision-engineered and subjected to rigorous aging and shock-resistance tests.
The extra-flat rectangular case, now 10% smaller than the original RM 016, measures 36.00 x 9.50 x 45.64 mm for a sleek, ergonomic fit. It is available in two striking variations: grade 5 titanium with polished bevels and satin finishes or a bold Terracotta Quartz TPT® colorway paired with a Creamy White Quartz TPT® caseband, created through a cutting-edge layering and curing process. Skeletonized hour markers seamlessly integrate with the openworked movement, adding a dynamic visual element. With its bold reinterpretation of form, the RM 16-02 blends artistic ingenuity with technical mastery, cementing its status as a cutting-edge timepiece.
d finishing that highlights the attention to detail.
Designed for both performance and design, the RM 74-02 follows in the footsteps of the Gold Carbon TPT® edition. Every element serves a purpose, from the openwork construction to the precise transmission system. The use of premium materials enhances both functionality and visual appeal, while the tourbillon regulator improves accuracy.
With a balance of strength, refinement, and innovation, the RM 74-02 is a bold expression of modern watchmaking. It perfectly represents Richard Mille’s philosophy of pushing technical limits while maintaining an uncompromising focus on aesthetics.
