Extreme is an expensive romance, because extreme itself is an ideal that people are always looking for.
On this path, Richard Mille, known as the "Formula 1 on the wrist", has never followed the rules, constantly pushing the boundaries between innovative craftsmanship and modern aesthetics, and the high-end and excellence are magnificent scenery along the way.
Few masterpieces are as contradictory as high-end watches: art, creativity and passion are expressed at the extremes of precision, rigor and reliability. The hands rotate around the dial, but behind the seemingly unremarkable is the continuous breakthrough of the technical limits of precision and thickness, and the ultimate exploration and imagination of modern aesthetics beyond the dial
Just like Richard Mille, a Swiss high-end independent watchmaking brand founded in the new century, it pays homage to the past and has the courage to step into the era of its own: to uphold tradition with creations that break the tradition, and to inherit the rules in a way that defies them.
Whether it is extremely slim and has a thickness of only 1The 75mm RM UP-01 Ferrari, the RM 07-04 and the Memphis RM 07-01 for women's sportswear, or the unveiling of Richard Mille's world's first new concept*** are all examples of Richard Mille's heritage of extreme craftsmanship, the search for the wearer's experience and the continuous breakthrough of innovative craftsmanship.

Pushing the envelope with Ferrari
Building on the acclaimed acclaim of the RM 88's automatic tourbillon and the RM 38-02's famous tonneau-shaped dial, Richard Mille continues to push the boundaries of ultra-thin watches with the RM UP-01 Ferrari.
RM UP-01 Ferrari watch.
The RM UP-01 Ferrari is an ultra-thin timepiece created by Richard Mille and Ferrari since their collaboration in 2021, embodying the same dedication to excellence, precision, reliability and innovation.
The RM UP-01 is one of Richard Mille's well-deserved representative creations, a mechanical masterpiece on the wrist. The overall thickness of the watch is only 175 mm, slightly thicker than a credit card;Comfortable and lightweight to wear, the watch weighs less than 30 grams including the strap;With a power reserve of approximately 45 hours and a water resistance of 10 meters, it can be worn in a variety of environments. The watch was officially released last year and is limited to 150 pieces worldwide.

The overall thickness is only 175 mm.
The RM UP-01 combines innovation with performance, power and aesthetics: the suspension movement and skeletonized baseplate, bridges, balance wheel and case made of grade 5 titanium enhance the rigidity of the watch, allowing it to withstand accelerations of up to 5,000g, even in the rigors of extreme sports.
The groundbreaking design of the one-piece movement and case, the new patented ultra-thin escapement, and the titanium variable inertia balance are a series of cutting-edge designs that are perfectly presented with tight machine-made tolerances down to 1 micron, ensuring perfect thinness while maximizing accuracy and stability. In addition, the fast-rotating, ultra-thin winding barrel with an ultra-fine hairspring is also patented by the brand.
The function selector on the bezel is located between 10 and 11 o'clock. The design is similar to the gears of a racing car, with a rotation to H for manual timing and a rotation to W for winding. When a different adjustment function is selected, the other crown between 7 and 8 o'clock can be turned to set the time or wind the barrel. In addition, the user has the option to adjust the operation on the back of the case.
The hour and balance dials on the case are made of 1800 Vickers sapphire crystal, anti-reflective on both sides, with a minimum thickness of 02 mm. In the lower right corner of the dial is the iconic Prancing Horse motif that thrilled all Ferrari supporters, which was laser-engraved along with all the indicative characters.

The redefinition of women's watches
For a long time, many people have a stereotypical perception of high-end women's watches, and they think that the latter is just an ornament on a woman's wrist with *** and jewelry. Today, as the power of women continues to increase, women's identities and roles are no longer constrained: they can be mothers, entrepreneurs, artists and athletes, and they return to the essence of women through their vitality and spirit of exploration. Richard Mille's women's watches also break through the limits of tradition and return to the essence of the watch – exceptional quality, outstanding performance and ultimate aesthetic expression.
The RM 07-04 is Richard Mille's collection of women's watches for women's sports. The RM 07-04 Automatic Sports Watch took three years to develop, and features the brand's in-house developed CRMA8 automatic movement, as well as a base plate and bridges made of grade 5 titanium treated with black PVD.

The collection is full of the desire for sporting achievement and the excitement of participating in competitions, which is on full display through clever color design. From the black color of the Carbon TPT version to the cream, fuchsia, salmon pink (orange-red) color, green or blue of the Quartz TPT quartz carbon fiber version, these brilliant colors do not alter the intrinsic properties of these materials, which are lightweight, allergenic, impact-resistant, UV-resistant and abrasion-resistant.
As Cécile Guenat, Director of Creative and Development at Richard Mille, explains, "This time we didn't go for a minimalist design, but opted for a lightweight movement that allows you to see the complex mechanism inside the case at a glance. The launch of the women's skeleton sports watch is a challenge that few people dare to try. This collection combines aesthetics with craftsmanship. ”
Six of Richard Mille's best friends of the Maison – racing driver Aurora Straus, French racer and navigator Margot Laffite, golfer Nelly Korda, heptathlon Nafi Thiam, high jumper Yuliya Levchenko and skier Ester Ledecká are the epitome of excellence. The watches are perfectly adapted to the constraints of their different sports, while emphasizing pure performance and technical precision.

In addition, Richard Mille has launched the RM 07-01 collection of coloured ceramic watches, which celebrate the passion of colour in the midst of endless summers.
The RM 07-01 is based on the performance, cutting-edge technology and bold innovation of the Richard Mille brand, while the core design draws inspiration from the Memphis Design style, a revolutionary art and architectural design movement that emerged in Italy in the 80s of the 20th century.
The collection achieves a deep integration of cutting-edge craftsmanship, innovative technology and modern aesthetics, and presents the modern woman's multi-value aesthetic and positive identification with self-identity through the rich and uninhibited Memphis design style. Whether it's hand-guilloché decorations, Memphis motifs engraved on a grey PVD-treated red gold dial, or decorative details such as coloured ceramics, laser-cut rubber intarsia and diamond settings, RM 07-01 is committed to bringing quality, sparkle and passion to the wrist.
RM 07-01 series.
The bezel of the RM 07-01 is fixed to the middle case in microblasted white gold by means of polished pillars, protecting the self-winding CRMA2 movement in-house. The baseplate and bridges are made of grade 5 titanium, as always, maintaining the quality and style of Richard Mille watches. All parts are hollowed out to allow the light to penetrate and move in the space to the greatest extent.
It is worth mentioning that the coloured TZP ceramic used in RM 07-01 is available in three summery colours: light pink, light purple and light blue. Even after a long period of use, this complex process creates a material that retains a uniform balance of colour and shines as bright as new.
