The brand's watchmakers have thoroughly studied friction and its influence on the longevity of the movement parts, having found an innovative technical solution - ceramic endstone for the tourbillon. To provide optimal reliability, the creators of the RM 017 Tourbillon watch came up with a barrel pawl with progressive recoil. This system keeps the spring away from overtightening when winding and excludes any risk of knocking the escapement.The RM 017 Tourbillon watch boasts the function selector developed by the brand based on a car's gearbox. At 4 o'clock, you will see a needle that indicates the selected mode - winding, neutral or hand-setting. The red gold case of the new Richard Mille watch also demonstrates the attention paid to the smallest detail while creating its three main parts - the bezel, case-middle and back.
