RM 67-01 Automatic Winding Extra Flat.

Like a car manufacturer, we consider the brand as being a general umbrella, which also targets certain ‘niches’. With this in mind, we particularly wanted to introduce a ‘lifestyle’ model with this extremely flat automatic watch based on the emblematic tonneau-shape casing.
The mechanical aspects of creating a thin automatic present their own set of difficulties, but one of the challenges is to pair this type of movement design with a sense of visual depth within the movement—a central tenet of the Richard Mille approach. The extreme skeletonisation seen in the RM 67-01 is one significant avenue to achieving this.
