Richard Mille Tourbillon RM002-V2 RG
Launched in 2002, the RM002 was Richard Mille’s second ever watch. Taking great inspiration from the original RM, the RM001, it featured small changes such as a titanium baseplate and a titanium case amongst other small changes. However, in 2005 a second version of the RM002 was released after Richard Mille had made further improvements to their materials technology and decided to introduce it to older models rather than only using it in new models, a common practice for the legendary watchmaker. And so, the RM002-V2 was launched with a carbon nanofiber baseplate, an 18kt rose gold case, as we have here, and the same slew of functions as the original, such as its manual winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes, function selector, power-reserve and torque indicators. Selected as a material for its thermometric stability and chemical neutrality, carbon nanofiber makes for the perfect baseplate as it remains unchanged across a wide variety of temperatures, allowing for more accurate timekeeping. Boasting a function selector at 4 o’clock, the RM002-V2’s crown can be used for all of the watch’s functions. With it set to “W,” one can wind the manually wound Calibre RM-002-V2 movement’s 78 hour power reserve. With “H” selected, the hands can be set and “N” is for “neutral,” which means the crown spins freely. A modernized classic from Richard Mille’s legendary catalog, the RM002-V2 marries contemporary material science with Richard Mille’s iconic aesthetic to create something truly special.
THE DIAL Featuring a carbon nanofiber baseplate that was chosen for its chemical neutrality and thermometric stability, the RM002-V2's openworked dial retains a perfectly legible layout with its hours, minutes, function selector, power-reserve, and torque indicators all remaining clearly on display.
THE CONSTRUCTION Featuring Richard Mille's signature tonneau-shaped design and a vertically-brushed finish, the 18kt rose gold RM002-V2 boasts the brand's emblematic wrist presence that has allowed the watchmaker to become instantly recognizable on the wrist of its collectors.
