Quick TakeImagine a mechanical hummingbird, flitting between worlds of aerospace technology and horological artistry – that's the RM 21-02. Its honeycomb baseplate whispers of aircraft wings, built with the otherworldly strength of Haynes 214. Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT dance around it, a shimmering ballet of lightness and resilience. The tourbillon peeks through, a mesmerizing whirlwind in a cage of titanium. This isn't just a watch; it's an alliance of cutting-edge material science and watchmaking ambition, soaring towards new frontiers of timekeeping.

DescriptionThe Richard Mille RM 21-02 Manual Winding Tourbillon Aerodyne embodies a relentless pursuit of technical perfection and extreme weight reduction. Its baseplate revolutionizes traditional watchmaking with a honeycomb structure of Haynes 214, a specialized aerospace alloy renowned for its resistance to extreme temperatures. A core of Carbon TPT further reinforces this intricate architecture, ensuring exceptional rigidity, minimal thermal expansion, and outstanding torsional resistance. The result is a foundation that's both ultra-lightweight and robust.

The beating heart of this creation is the manual winding tourbillon movement, caliber RM21-02. This intricate symphony of gears and springs features a free-sprung balance wheel with variable inertia, promising enhanced reliability and precision even under duress. The movement incorporates ingenious additions such as a function selector for seamless switching between winding, neutral, and hand-setting modes. Monitoring the watch's power is effortless thanks to the power-reserve indicator, while a torque indicator offers insights into the mainspring's tension for optimal chronometric performance.
