Richard Mille - Ceramic - RM 72-01 Wh CR

Featuring a mesmerizing skeletonized movement with automatic bidirectional winding, the RM 72-01 presents a harmonious blend of horological complexities, including hours, minutes, small seconds, date, flyback chronograph, function indicator, and stop seconds. Notably, the separation of the chronograph function from daily timekeeping doesn't impede the base movement's seamless operation when the chronograph is engaged.

Crafted with precision, the baseplate and bridges of this exceptional timepiece are meticulously fashioned from grade 5 titanium. This biocompatible, highly corrosion-resistant, and remarkably rigid alloy, composed of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium, ensures the smooth functionality of the gear train. Widely recognized in aerospace, aeronautics, and automotive industries, this alloy's mechanical properties are further enhanced, making it an ideal choice for Richard Mille's avant-garde creations. The micro-blasted grade 5 titanium, complemented by a grey electroplasma treatment, adds not only great rigidity but also confers rigorously even surfaces to the entire assembly.

Undergoing intensive validation tests, the skeletonized baseplate and bridges optimize their resistance capacities, ensuring durability and reliability. Richard Mille's patented flyback chronograph design ingeniously splits the torque across various counters, disconnecting the display and connection to the minutes and hours from the chronograph's seconds wheel. The chronograph's performance is unparalleled, drawing power directly from the barrel and transmitting enhanced energy to its three counters through a coupling system with two oscillating pinions mounted on rockers. This mechanism flawlessly controls the start, stop, flyback, and reset functions.
