Quick TakeImagine the defiant roar of an electric guitar fused with a watchmaker's symphony of tiny moving parts. The Richard Mille RM 66 Manual Winding Flying Tourbillon is exactly that – bold, rebellious, and mechanically mesmerizing. Its openworked dial reveals the beating heart of the tourbillon, while its case, with layers of Carbon TPT® and contrasting red gold, channels an unapologetic rock-and-roll spirit. This isn't a watch quietly whispering the time – it's flaunting its complexity, daring you to look beyond the conventional and into the realm of audacious haute horology.

DescriptionThe Richard Mille RM 66 Manual Winding Flying Tourbillon embodies a unique blend of technical mastery and defiant aesthetics. Its core strength lies in the meticulously crafted Caliber RM66, a manual winding tourbillon movement engineered for precision timekeeping. The intricate flying tourbillon, positioned prominently at 12 o'clock, rotates within its cage without a top bridge, offering an unobstructed view of its mesmerizing operation. This gravity-defying mechanism is complemented by a variable-inertia balance designed to ensure superior chronometric performance and shock resistance during wear.

The watch's construction echoes its technical complexity. The case's distinctive tonneau shape is formed from a tripartite assembly of grade 5 titanium, prized for its exceptional strength, low weight, and hypoallergenic properties. This central structure is framed by a bezel and caseback crafted from Carbon TPT®, an incredibly tough composite renowned for its unique layered pattern. The caseband features polished 5N red gold inserts, adding a touch of luxurious contrast. To safeguard the intricate movement, the case is assembled with 20 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and water-resistant to 50 meters. Further reinforcing its robust character, the RM 66 features a unique torque-limiting crown, an integrated safety mechanism designed to prevent accidental overwinding.
