In the quest of innovative modern design combined with high-complication movements, in 1999, Richard Mille started to work on the RM008 project, the most complicated watch that he has ever produced. Incorporating all the characteristics of the RM004 split-seconds chronograph, the RM008 features a tourbillon carriage made up of 85 parts and weighs just a third of a gram (0.34g), pushing the time master's craftsmanship to the next level. As part of the Richard Mille masterpiece collection, the RM008 Tourbillon Split-Second Chronograph adapts the concept of modern architecture and optimizes the use of the functions and technical solutions to create the sophisticated balancing of aesthetics.
The current watch is presented in excellent overall condition, and offers a sporty yet elegant aesthetic. This watch makes the perfect addition to any collection of Richard Mille wristwatches.
