Richard Mille watches employ very unique materials chosen for specific purposes to improve efficiency, comfort and reliability such as Alusic or carbon nanofiber. In ten years, the company has achieved a large following among watch collectors because of this new approach to watchmaking.
The reference RM005, introduced in 2005 is the first watch with 3 hands and a date. It was also the first watch which did not have a chronograph function and/or a Tourbillon.
