The first Richard Mille timepiece was introduced in 2001 — the RM 001 Tourbillon — in an initial series of 17 watches, followed by the tourbillon RM 002, with two new features making their world debut: a movement baseplate in titanium, and a function indicator with winding, neutral and hand-setting positions. This was just the beginning for Richard Mille, as the brand proceeded to deliver one technical innovation after the next, as well as breaking records for lightness and thickness along the way. Distinct in style and always one to impress and surprise, Richard Mille’s timepieces have found favour amongst pop culture icons and watch collectors alike.
