Richard Mille RM 21-02 : Manual Winding Tourbillon Aerodyne

Materials and architectural designs have a close relationship with precision, light weight, and resistance. Engineering materials from industries well beyond watches have always been used to our advantage. Today, Haute Horlogerie acknowledges these novel and technological materials for their mechanical and aesthetic qualities. In terms of design, mechanical innovation, and material utilisation, the RM 21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne has raised the bar for watchmaking.

Design 

The new RM 21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne in white Quartz TPT®, Carbon TPT®, and titanium, which is limited to 50 pieces, showcases Richard Mille's unwavering dedication to pushing the frontiers of creativity while presenting the most recent iteration of the classic calibre.
