The new RM020 Tourbillon pocket watch looks amazing, like all Richard Mille timepieces. It will be produced in titanium, with a choice of both front and back bezels in 18ct red gold, white gold or titanium. The RM 020 is the first pocket watch ever created that uses a non-metallic baseplate made of carbon nanofiber, originally used in U.S. Airforce jets. The RM Tourbillon pocket watch works best in the vertical postion and costs $440,000. Read a really good interview with Richard Mille at the International Herald Tribune.

Richard Mille makes some really nice timepieces and the RM 012 pictured here is another fine example. This version was limited to only 30 editions. The watch is made of a special alloy that includes aluminum, magnesium, titanium and silicone. This alloy is highly resistant to corrosion and wear and is very good at absorbing vibrations. Too bad this watch probably costs more than most cars.

Check out this video of the Only Watch 2007 Auction that was run by Antiquorum. The video has some nice shots of the limited edition watches, but the sound is terrible.

Watchmaker Philippe Starck has designed a new watch with Richard Mille for the "Only Watch" auction that is organized by Antiquorum. The Only Watch auction will be held on Thursday September 20, 2007 in Monaco. All proceeds will go to a Duchenne muscular dystrophy charity. On a side note I just noticed that Philippe Starck also designed the new Fossil watch I featured earlier this month.

I absolutely love Richard Mille watches. Who could not like these ultra exclusive, ultra expensive, ultra complicated masterpieces? The Ultra-Thin line may not wow me as much as his other models, but at a mere 8.25mm thin this Skeletonized Automatic is just further proof that Richard Mille is a highly skilled watchmaker.

Here is a picture of Richard Mille's first ladies' watch. The RM007 is automatic and the case looks like one of his mens' watches, but this watch is much more fashion oriented than his traditional timpieces. He obviously sees the demand for high end womens' watches.

This Richard Mille tourbillon wristwatch has been created in a limited edition of 30 numbered examples in platinum. With dramatic lines inspired by architecturally engineered structural forms,the tubular, angled configuration of the 012 offers optimal stiffness and torsial rigidity with exceptional resistance to thermal change and corrosive elements. It is unique in the manner in which it unites the functions of the watch’s baseplate with those of the movement and bridges into a technically coherent and visually inseparable totality. CALIBER RM 012: Manual winding tourbillon with hours and minutes. Dimensions: 48 mm x 39.30 mm (widest point) x 13.84 mm (thickest area).
