The RM012 effortlessly combines the worlds of technology, architecture and visual appeal, and is the first watch in the history of horology to abandon the concept of a solid metallic bottom plate in favor of a tubular structure. With this model, Richard Mille refines still further the architectural character of its calibers thanks to an original and extremely complex tubular construction that creates a perfect visual harmony. This exceptional timepiece required two years of development and four prototypes before reaching the final version. Assembling the movement takes several months, such is the meticulousness of each operation. One of the strengths of the RM012: its apparent fragility, a chassis which seems to be weightless. And yet this structure, composed only of tubes, has more torsional rigidity than many bottom plates. It is also incredibly resistant to variations in temperature, and to corrosion and shocks. The RM012 is available in a limited edition of 30 pieces in platinum.
