Imposing bodywork, motorized with an RMCA1 caliber, identifiable thanks to its 12-hour grande date, its display of the month at 4:00, and its flyback chronograph, the RM 011 Black Night edition knows how to hide its true colors. Under the hood, this race car contains a TPTN (Thin Ply Technology Nord) carbon casing, a futuristic material that distinguishes itself with its harmoniously undulating graphicness. Behind the whole process, Richard Mille is opening new and innovative pathways in the watchmaking circuit by injecting on-point materials that are the fruit of combined research and high technology.
“It’s the concept that defines the components and not the components that define the watch,” says Richard Mille. It’s no longer a secret, the creator likes to take risks by playing with materials. By choosing TPTN carbon, Richard Mille is betting on reliability, security, and resistance to shocks, just like a competition car would require. Powerful and effective in equal measure, TPTN was originally developed for the manufacturing of racing sailboats. Appreciated for its resistance and lightness, it also made an appearance during the Formula 1 and in the aeronautics sector. This watch with one-of-a-kind character brings together all of Richard Mille’s passion for the realm of technological innovation.
