The superlative quality of a Richard Mille<\/strong> watch is in equal measure the architecture and materials it is made of. Naturally, it would be impossible to design watches capable of resisting extreme conditions without using constituents that were themselves created to handle punishing demands. In capitalising on engineering materials\u2014particularly from the fields of aeronautics and Formula 1\u2014and testing their potential applications in a watch movement or its housing, Richard Mille brings into being watches whose precision, lightness and reliability are intimately bound to the materials employed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new RM 21-01 Tourbillon Aerodyne<\/strong> is entirely true to this lineage and draws on the influence of aeronautics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the RM 21-01<\/strong>, Richard Mille presents a new case design. The complex structure of the case in 5N red gold<\/strong> is reinforced with an exoskeleton in Carbon TPT, used for the bezel and pillars<\/strong>. This extremely light and durable composite is made by stacking hundreds of layers of carbon fibres thanks to an automated process that rotates 45\u00b0 between each layer, then heated to 120\u00b0 in an autoclave before being machined to the nearest micron. Just like armour, these reinforcements perfectly protect the case, and are firmly held in place by 20 spline screws. The striking appearance of Carbon TPT layers perfectly complements the gleam of gold and the royal blue honeycombed motif of the baseplate<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
