Richard Mille RM 029 Automatic Big Date in TitaniumThe new Richard Mille RM 029 Automatic Big Date watch offers RM`s signature tonneau case, skeletonized movement, and an oversized date module.To make the RM 029 watch, the Swiss watch brand has constructed a new RMAS7 automatic movement. “Inspired” (their word, not mine) by the RM 011 chronograph caliber, the new movement was aggressively skeletonized.To make the resulting feather-light lacework rigid enough to keep the movement working, Richard Mille’s engineers made its baseplate, bridges and balance-cock out of grade 5 titanium.Noticeably stronger than and almost as light as pure titanium, this alloy of aluminum, vanadium, iron, oxygen and titanium is widely used in aerospace industry and medicine.To ensure that the parts stay corrosion-free and withstand wear, RM subjected them to a proprietary Titalyt treatment. In two words, they employed an electro-plasma oxidation process, which makes the metal’s surface harder.The watch comes in a standard for the brand tonneau-shaped case, which will be available not only in titanium (pictured,) but also in white gold or rose gold.

Richard Mille has unveiled a new timepiece which brings together the sophistication of a product from the luxury watchmaker with a modern design.Entitled the RM 017 Tourbillon, one luxury element which should benefit users who wear the watch is the fact that this product only measures in at 8.7mm thick, Watch Luxus reported.However, despite the size, the news source commented: "Nothing has been left to chance in the design of the RM 017 Tourbillon. Each part has been carefully created so that it meets Richard Mille’s requirements in terms of rigidity, reliability and precision."Some elements which could lead fashion watch fans to make a purchase include a ceramic endstone for its tourbillon cage, as well as the case and movement of the timepiece being designed in total consistency.Richard Mille, a company which produced its first timepiece only at the start of the millennium, finishes the watch off with a movement plate developed from grade two titanium, which is then polished with a black PVD coating.
