Richard Mille RM 72-01 Lifestyle In-House Chronograph Black Ceramic

The Richard Mille RM 72-01 Lifestyle In-House Chronograph in black ceramic represents a pivotal moment in the brand's evolution, marking the debut of its first fully in-house chronograph movement. Crafted from TZP black ceramic, the tonneau-shaped case measures 38.4 x 47.34 mm and is complemented by a skeletonized dial that reveals the intricate mechanics within. The watch's architecture is both bold and refined, embodying Richard Mille's commitment to avant-garde design and technical mastery.

At the heart of the RM 72-01 is the CRMC1 caliber, a flyback chronograph movement developed entirely in-house. This movement features a unique double-tilting pinion clutch system, allowing for seamless operation of the chronograph functions without compromising the timekeeping accuracy. The dial layout includes a 60-minute counter at 2 o'clock, a 24-hour counter at 5 o'clock, and a small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock, all accented with color-coded hands for enhanced legibility. With a 50-hour power reserve and a design that harmonizes form and function, the RM 72-01 stands as a testament to Richard Mille's innovative spirit and dedication to horological excellence.
