Richard Mille RM 52-01 Blue Carbon Tourbillon Skull

LIMITED EDITON – TO 10 PIECES

The Richard Mille RM 52-01 was introduced as a limited edition and expresses the brand’s creativity. A true eye-catching masterpiece designed with a Tourbillon Skull crafted in pure titanium, which serves as the baseplate and bridges, while the upper and lower jaws of the skull is set with opulent rubies. Featuring a 42.7mm blue carbon TPT case, which is super light-weight, but incredibly strong. It is equipped with grade 5 titanium, 42hr power reserve and uses the Calibre RM 052 manual-winding movement. It is finished with a black rubber bracelet and double folding-clasp.

The new RM 52-06 tourbillon is a watch that leaves free rein to the imagination when it comes to metaphysical interpretations; but in terms of technicity it’s all about razor sharp logic.

Surrealistic, fantastic, mysterious… The curvaceous lines of the iconic symbol enthroned in the heart of the tourbillon movement make the RM 52-06 one of the most enigmatic calibres. Does one see a luchador, a kabuki mask, a superhero or even a gladiator helmet? Each eye will see in the RM 52-06 its own reflection, pretty much as a Rorschach test.

Made of PVD treated grade 5 titanium or white gold, the mask is fully integrated within the movement. The precise opposite of a purely decorative element, it is, on the contrary, an integral component, serving as a wheel train and tourbillon bridge. The back of the mask, as ever treated with the greatest attention, acts as the centre bridge. Its microblasted surfaces are accentuated by polished anglage that further emphasises the protruding edges of the mask.
