The Richard Mille RM 09 collection, developed in collaboration with Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa, embodies the brand's dedication to high-performance mechanics and cutting-edge materials. The RM 09 was one of the lightest tourbillon watches ever created when released, thanks to its meticulous design and extensive use of lightweight materials like ALUSIC® and Carbon TPT®. These materials were chosen for their strength, resilience, and exceptional lightness, allowing for a watch that would not impede the driver's performance on the track.
The true marvel of the RM 09 line lies in its in-house manual-winding tourbillon movement with a variable-geometry rotor. This innovative rotor mechanism can be adjusted to match the wearer's activity level, optimizing energy transfer and minimizing overwinding. True to Richard Mille's philosophy, the skeletonized dial offers a captivating view of these intricate mechanics. The RM 09 collection is a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to both technical innovation and real-world functionality, perfectly suited for the demanding needs of world-class athletes.
