SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
The brand creates a breath of fresh air in its daring production by enhancing its collection with a watch center staging its engineering know-how and stylistic identity.
With its RM 30-01 Automatic with Declutchable Rotor, Richard Mille rolls out a technical and esthetically-pleasing masterpiece boasting the most latest-to-date innovations and, above all, a signature model that epitomizes the brand’s identity. This fine watchmaking piece gives pride of place to optimizing energy transmission and production. And, to leverage its high-tech assets, the brand new RMAR2 caliber is the star of the show. This movement features a variable geometry rotor which is capable of disengaging once the 55 hours of autonomy have been reached. Whenever there’s only 40 hours of energy left, the rotor re-engages to recharge the barrel spring.
This particularity can be admired dial-side thanks to the winding indicator set at 11 o’clock along with the orange and blue one devoted to the power reserve. This duo is underscored in a scenography that’s been revamped in relation to that of the RM 030. In a nutshell, the curves have disappeared. A lozenge-shaped architecture takes over and jazzes up the time data displays. In this layered, skeletonized scenescape, we discover an oversized date and a function indicator. The selector positioned at 2 o’clock enables the wearer to choose between W for winding, D for adjusting the date and H for setting the time. Two variations of the iconic tonneau case are available, one in 5N red gold, the other in grade 5 titanium. The second also stands out through its weight, just 96 grams, strap included.
