Richard Mille - Terracotta Quartz TPT - Extra Flat - RM 16-02 TC

The RM 16-02 Automatic Extraflat introduces a daring new vision for Richard Mille’s rectangular timepieces, reinterpreting the original RM 016 with a contemporary edge. Its clean, modern lines draw inspiration from Brutalist architecture, creating an urban look that captivates with its intricate interplay of structure and optical illusions. The labyrinthine design invites exploration, blending artistry and innovation into a statement piece that feels both timeless and forward-thinking.

At its heart lies the Calibre CRMA9, a highly sophisticated, ultra-light movement made from grade 5 titanium. This skeletonized engine features 67 chamfered openings, enhancing lightness and transparency while showcasing the technical complexity within. Its bidirectional platinum rotor, mounted on ceramic ball bearings, ensures efficient winding and a reliable 50-hour power reserve. Each component is precision-engineered and subjected to rigorous aging and shock-resistance tests.

The extra-flat rectangular case, now 10% smaller than the original RM 016, measures 36.00 x 9.50 x 45.64 mm for a sleek, ergonomic fit. It is available in two striking variations: grade 5 titanium with polished bevels and satin finishes or a bold Terracotta Quartz TPT® colorway paired with a Creamy White Quartz TPT® caseband, created through a cutting-edge layering and curing process. Skeletonized hour markers seamlessly integrate with the openworked movement, adding a dynamic visual element. With its bold reinterpretation of form, the RM 16-02 blends artistic ingenuity with technical mastery, cementing its status as a cutting-edge timepiece.
