SUMMERY COLORS
Escape the gloom! The best season of the year offers an opportunity to move away from conventions. The brand keeps company with the boldest by showcasing two tremendously-alluring upgrades.
Back in 2020, Richard Mille unveiled its most complicated watch ever, the RM 65-01 Automatic Winding Split-seconds Chronograph. Its chronograph movement with a high-frequency and variable-inertia balance wheel beat at 5 Hz, as such delivering ultimate accuracy. The RMAC4 caliber, assembled using some 480 components, would keep time to the tenth of a second. A six-column toothed wheel drove all the stages in measuring time. Practicality was also the name of the game. In addition to a function selector which made it ever-so easy to set the semi-instantaneous date and time, among the innovations, a winding pusher at 8 o’clock let wearers fully wind up the fast-rotating barrel spring with a series of 125 taps. The motor would then deliver a power reserve of 60 hours.
This summer, the firm rolls out a 120-piece limited edition dressed in orange-yellow Quartz TPT®. Its solar hue dazzles the geartrains with its glimmers. The balminess of sweet summery days also radiates from the model flaunting a signature tonneau shaped case in pastel blue-tinged Quartz TPT®, which now features in the catalog. What’s more, in the skeletonized dial, color takes on a key role. Yellow partners with time displays, green with the semi-instantaneous date, orange is used for short-cycle time measurement features, red for winding, and blue for the split-seconds hand. In a nutshell, reading data is child’s play in this scenography exalted with azure hues.
