Remaining focused on the reliability of the movement and the correspondence between each creation and the individual way it is used by its owner, we developed the concept of a variable-geometry rotor for this model.
This automatic model applies all the technical knowledge we’ve accumulated in terms of design, choice of materials (titanium bridges, screws and baseplate) and the experience gained through the creation of our previous tourbillon models.
Richard Mille RM10 RG
$150,000
A REVOLUTIONARY ASSERTION OF THE BRAND’S GRAMMAR
BASEPLATE AND BRIDGES MADE OF GRADE 5 TITANIUM
The baseplate and the bridges are crafted of grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible, highly corrosion-resistant and remarkably rigid alloy, which enables the gear train to function effortlessly.
The alloy is 90% grade 5 titanium, 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. This combination further increases the material’s mechanical properties, which explains its frequent use in the aerospace, aeronautics and automobile industries.
The skeletonised baseplate and bridges have been subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimize their resistance capacities.
DATE DISPLAY
Semi-instantaneous, placed in a vertical aperture at 7 o’clock. The calendar disc of sapphire crystal is treated with nonreflective coating on both sides.
The Richard Mille RM 010 uses a variable geometry system to optimise the rotor’s winding motion.
Rotor specifications
• Arm in grade 5 titanium
• High palladium content 18K white gold weight segments
• Weight segment with 6 possible positions adjusted by screws in grade 5 titanium
• Ceramic ball bearings
• Unidirectional, anti-clockwise winding direction
This exclusive Richard Mille design makes it possible to effectively adapt rewinding of the mainspring to the user’s activity level, in sporting or non-sporting environments. By adjusting the six-position rib, the rotor’s inertia is modified to either speed up the winding process in the case of leisurely arm movements, or to slow it down during sporting activities.
As a result, this invention allows the movement’s winding mechanism to be optimised and personalised to the owner’s lifestyle.
