Three novelties in innovative materials.

Richard Mille is one of the few watchmakers who managed to increase their turnover in 2024, and it remains the brand with the sixth highest revenue after overtaking Longines in 2023. Data from the reports regularly published by LuxeConsult and Morgan Stanley shows that there is still demand on the market for Richard Mille's recognizable style, combined with the brand's constant pursuit of innovation in materials and technology.

February's three new tourbillons are another example of watches which are bound to strike a chord with loyal clients: the RM 74-01 Automatic Winding Tourbillon in Cermet, the RM 74-02 Automatic Winding Tourbillon in Gold Carbon TPT, and the RM 74-02 Automatic Winding Tourbillon in Gold Quartz TPT.

All of these three models are the same size (52.63 mm × 34.4 mm × 13.05 mm) and provide the same level of water resistance (up to 50 m), but the materials differ, which gives each of these watches a fundamentally different look. It's worth noting that these materials are exclusive to Richard Mille, given that he's the only watchmaker to apply them in the watch industry.

The understated RM 74-01 is presented in a case made of a metal and ceramic composite called Cermet. This homogeneous material gets its unique shade of gray from a metallic zirconium matrix combined with high-performance ceramic.

A combination of carbon and gold leaf has been used for the Gold Carbon TPT, while a multilayered structure crafted from ultra-thin sheets of quartz fibers combined with gold has been used for the Gold Quartz TPT. The RM 74-01 model is equipped with an automatic in-house CRMT6 movement, while the engine powering the new RM 74-02 watches is the CRMT5 with a 50-hour power reserve.

Both movements are equipped with flying tourbillons and use variable-geometry rotors. This technology makes it possible to set the rotor to wind the watch according to the owner's activity level.
