Richard Mille Reveals an RM 17-02 Tourbillon in Titanium

by

As a seasoned watch enthusiast with a penchant for high-end horology, I must admit that the latest Richard Mille RM 17-02 Tourbillon in titanium has truly captured my attention. With its innovative design and unparalleled craftsmanship, this timepiece is a testament to the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking.

Richard Mille recently revealed their latest masterpiece, the RM 17-02 Tourbillon crafted from titanium, which beautifully combines their groundbreaking innovation with the art of fine watchmaking.

Approximately 40mm in diameter, the iconic tripartite case from the Maison has been crafted using a lightweight yet robust grade 5 titanium material. This case has been through an entire year of meticulous research and development, similar to the analytical engineering techniques used for Formula 1 racing cars, emphasizing that “the chassis and engine are developed in perfect harmony.

As a gamer, I’d say this high-end timepiece, the RM 17-02, skips the traditional casing ring and instead, the top-notch mechanism is securely fastened onto rubber chassis mounts that are tightly screwed with titanium. To seal the deal, there are two Nitrile O-ring seals in place, ensuring a water resistance depth of 50 meters.

The focal point on this watch’s dial is the watch itself named after it – a manually wound tourbillon movement that’s both aesthetically captivating and technically impressive. Its intricate design is clearly visible, displaying its titanium components, beautifully finished and coated with gold and blue PVD. The color palette is mirrored in the golden yellow Arabic numerals used as hour markers.
