After some marketing studies in Besançon- France, Richard Mille joined a small company called Finhor in 1974. It was his debuts in watchmaking. In 1981, the company was bought by Matra and Richard Mille became the manager for the watch business. After a while, Matra’s watch activities were sold to Seiko and Richard Mille decided to quit the company in 1992 with the idea of building his own brand.

After a short passage by Mauboussin, in which he built its watch business, it was in 1999 that Richard Mille SA was founded. And in 2001 the first model was launched: the RM001. What describes Richard Mille know-how? We could define it as a true passion for watchmaking and this strong idea of innovation. Every model of Richard Mille’s collection is a state of the art in watchmaking. The precision in terms of details, the innovative combination of techniques and the cutting-edge design makes it unique, rare and probably one of the kind. Richard Mille manufacture is based in Switzerland and everything is done at its best. The new RM 33-01 is completely aligned with this philosophy.
THE RM 33-01 AUTOMATIC WATCH, BEST IN CLASS
The new creation embodies all the elegance of a Richard Mille watch with a sporty spirit. Here are the key elements in order to understand this watch. The new skeleton RMXP3 caliber represents the heart of the watch. It has an amazing off-centered platinum micro rotor and this architecture reveals a grade 5 titanium movement. The movement itself is sand-blasted and electroplasma treated which provides a satin-finished look. Something quite remarkable is the hand-made anglage of the piece. As for all Richard Mille movements, the RMXP3 caliber went through several tests in order to provide the best reliability despite of any condition of use.
The watch case has a diameter of 45.70mm and a thickness of 9.20mm. It is mounted on a high-resistant rubber strap secured with a filding clasp in grade 5 Titanium. You will recognize the Richard Mille style in the 5 Titanium spline screws displayed in the watch face. The watch will be available in 3 precious metals: Titanium, Red Gold and White Gold.
