New materials, new records, new styles, Richard Mille\u2019s approach to watchmaking is broader and sharper than ever. It is now combining extreme watchmaking with a new realm, that of ladies\u2019 complications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Richard Mille\u2019s point of view is that watchmaking must be constantly challenged, both technically and artistically. The\u00a0RM 27-02<\/strong>\u00a0is a new, uncompromising caliber that reinterprets the methods of watch design. While emblematic Richard Mille partner Rafael Nadal vied for his tenth title at the 2015 French Open, the brand unveiled this manual winding tourbillon caliber dedicated to tennis. Following research into NTPT carbon, a material with unique mechanical properties, the brand exhibited the first skeletonized unibody baseplate, in which the caseband and baseplate are but a single piece. This structure, inspired by the chassis of racing cars, enhances rigidity and resistance to impacts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On clay<\/strong><\/p>\n

The baseplate supports bridges in grade 5 titanium with a highly original three-dimensional construction and complex titanium and carbon composition. The movement weighs a mere 3.35 grams. Also used in the RM 27-02, Richard Mille\u2019s engineers have developed a new, original material known as TPT quartz, composed of hundreds of layers of quartz filaments. These fibers possess extreme strength and are inserted between layers of NTPT carbon. The result is, like all Rafael Nadal timepieces, fabulously light. The player himself will carry out the ultimate approval test by wearing the RM27-02 on the court, Richard Mille\u2019s usual trial by fire.<\/p>\n

With its skeletonized titanium structure treated with black PVD coating, it provides maximum performance. Its case is made of TZP-N, an ultra-tough black ceramic combining extreme resistance to scratches with low thermal conductivity, and NTPT carbon for the caseband. Richard Mille has aimed for exceptional impact resistance, with validation testing carried out in excess of 5,000 Gs. In this new black livery, the RM 61-01 looks even sharper, just like its inspirer, also known as \u201cThe Beast\u201d.<\/p>\n

In another field, the sixth edition the Caribbean\u2019s finest sailing race, Les Voiles de Saint Barth 2015, took place in April 2015. Over 1,000 yachtsmen and women of 20 different nationalities, including Lo\u00efc Peyron and Terry Hutchinson, competed during a week of racing in an electric atmosphere. A principal partner since its inception, Richard Mille took the opportunity to unveil a special series of the\u00a0RM 60-01 Regatta Flyback Chronograph,\u00a0<\/strong>bedecked in competition colours. The timepiece is driven by the RMAC2 automatic flyback chronograph caliber. Designed for competitive sailing, it features UTC functions and a countdown timer as well as a patented locking crown.<\/p>\n

This idea of recreating life using mechanical means is almost as old as mechanics. In the 18th<\/sup>\u00a0century, exquisite miniature animal, insect and flower automata were created to amuse and delight royal patrons around the globe. The new\u00a0RM 19-02 Tourbillon Fleur<\/strong>\u00a0epitomizes this tradition in a vibrant expression of watchmaking. At the lower left of the dial on the RM 19-02, a magnolia surrounds a flying tourbillon (Richard Mille\u2019s first ever) with five delicate, hand-made and -coloured petals. Working either in passing or on demand, the flower opens and closes in a delicate ballet. While it opens, the entire tourbillon moves upwards 1mm, as if surging to increase its chances of pollination. Attention to details such as these exemplify the Richard Mille approach to watchmaking artistry and technical sophistication.<\/p>\n

The spray of diamonds emanating in fourteen rays from the tourbillon at 6 o\u2019clock can also be associated with the vortex of the Milky Way or a whirlwind (the English translation of the French word\u00a0tourbillon)<\/em>. Each spiral ray of the RM 51-02 is perfectly set with a single row of diamonds. The case is set with white diamonds, to which black sapphires have been added to sharpen case details, and is fitted with an alligator strap. For ladies in search of a metallic bracelet, Richard Mille has launched a brand new band associated with its quintessentially feminine model, the RM07-01. Shaped like a chain bracelet, it is a vibrant expression of Richard Mille\u2019s dedication to artistic expression in watchmaking, and to femininity.<\/p>\n
