BLACK AND GOLDEN: A TIMELESS CLASSIC
The brand, forever questing aesthetically-pleasing perfection to dazzle the most elegant wrists around, gifts its model for the ladies with new adornments espousing grace and charm.
Two new variations enhance Richard Mille’s most feminine collection. The elongated cushion-shaped case of the RM 07-01 Automatic Starry Night model is crafted out of a solid block of black Carbon TPT®. Although red gold elements, the fine edging along the flange, the crown and the hands add warm touches to the piece, it’s its sumptuous starry-patterned stone setting which endows it with a resolutely-precious silhouette. No less than 181 diamonds are poised ever-so delicately on the watch bezel and its openworked dial. Thanks to the absolute precision offered by the embedding technique used, all the gems appear to be at-one with these components. The strap, fashioned in the same material as the case, stands out with its ultra-light weight, less than 29 grams!
The RM 07-01Automatic version is set apart thanks to the elegant combination of two materials, though red gold reigns supreme in particular on the case-middle. None of the gems sparkle in the pared-down, contrasted scenography boasting the time data, yet this timepiece is totally infused with jewelry sumptuousness. The novel interpretation of the chain bracelet is the main reason with an intertwined play on matt and glossy links imagined using the same precious, high-tech materials.
These two creations are driven by the in-house CRMA2 caliber which accurately animates the rotations of the hour and minute hands.
