When watches transcend mere timekeeping, that is where Richard Mille begins. The independent watchmaker demonstrates this ambitious and audacious stance once more with the RM 74-01 and RM 74-02 automatic tourbillons. The bold lines of the tonneau cases and the preening mechanical movements within leave no doubt as to their pedigree. They say everything about the character of Richard Mille; a racing car needs no explanations, and neither does a Richard Mille. Well, stories are our business so we will wax lyrical, because there is a lot to take note of here.
To start with the RM 74-01, this whopper of watch clocks in at 52.63 x 34.40 x 13.05mm, and that is only the beginning of what makes it unmistakable. The case and dial are in grey cermet, which is the trade name for a combination of metal and ceramic. Cermet is loads of fun for writers like us because autocorrect finds all sorts of permutations for it, but we digress. For the RM 74-01, grey cermet in particular refers to a unique material experiment in titanium and ceramic, which is unique in all the wide and crazy world of watchmaking to Richard Mille. That is the sort of watchmaker Richard Mille is ? and we have not even explored...
