Experience: Deconstructed Richard Mille RM 65-01 Automatic Split Seconds Chronograph
Richard Mille just released the new RM 65-01 Automatic Split Seconds Chronograph and we now bring you the stunning images by Fabien Nissels that show the deconstructed Richard Mille RM 65-01 Automatic Split Seconds Chronograph in all its glory. These images show the movement assembly, dial setup, and overall casing process. The new Richard Mille RM 65-01 Automatic Split Seconds Chronograph is the culmination of some five years of development and the most complex timepiece ever to leave Richard Mille’s workshops. Not a limited edition but a regular production watch, it demonstrates true watchmaking greatness in every aspect. This model fully embodies the brand’s technical approach thanks to the combination of several additional functions, a very specific architecture, and an extremely high-end aesthetic. This high-frequency —36,000 vph— chronograph was developed for superior timekeeping accuracy over an extended period and precise stopwatch calculations to 1/10th of a second.
Developed in partnership with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, the integrated movement boasts unfailing consistency with its 6-column wheel architecture and vertical coupling. Like a mechanical brain, this castellated piece orchestrates the controls and can be seen through the base. A mechanical cathedral —standing on a grade 5 titanium chassis supported by grade 5 titanium bridges— it receives its energy from a fast-rotating barrel that maintains ideal torque for energy transmission for the full duration of its 60-hour power reserve.
