Instantly recognizable thanks to their tonneau-form case and highly technical architectural details, Richard Mille watches are considered as a must-have in any watch collection. Clearly inspired by and using the World’s most cutting-edge technologies, Richard Mille refused to compromise on strength or design. This watch therefore uses a combination of the lightest and hardest materials including Titanium and tungsten. In the present watch, Mille wanted to give the wearer the opportunity to minutely adjust the very shape of the rotor to slow down or speed up its weight and motion according to their individual needs. He added the tiny 'ribs' on either side of the rotor which could be uniquely adjusted for the wearer.

The RM005 is the classic piece from Richard Mille and is extremely comfortable on the wrist.
