Description:

CALIBER RM010 : Skeletonized automatic movement with hours, minutes, seconds, date and adjustable rotor geometry.
Dimensions: Length 48 mm x 39.30 mm (widest point) x 13.84 mm (thickest area).
MAIN FEATURES (MANY OF WHICH ARE MAJOR TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS): ROTOR WITH VARIABLE GEOMETRY Arm in grade 2 titanium.
Flange in grade 2 titanium 6-positional adjustment via grade 5 titanium screws.
Ribs in 18-carat, high palladium content white gold. Weight segment in tungsten/cobalt alloy.
Ceramic ball bearings. Unidirectional; anti-clockwise winding direction.
This exclusive RICHARD MILLE design allows the rewinding of the mainspring to be adapted most effectively to the user’s activity level within sports or leisure environments.
By adjusting the six positional setting of the rib’s placement, the rotor’s inertia is modified, either speeding up the winding process in the case of minimal arm and hand movements, or slowing it down when high activity sports are pursued.
As a result, this invention allows the movement’s winding mechanism to be optimized and personalized to the owner’s lifestyle.
POWER RESERVE: 55 hours.
WATCH CASE: This was the subject of an entire year of research and development. With regard to the production of each case, 68 different stamping operations are required for the three main components (bezel, middle section and case back).
The machine tooling process requires 8 days of adjusting the machines for the bezel, 5 days for the middle section and 5 days for the case back.
Prior to this process, developing a methodology for carrying out this series of operations took 120 hours, the drawings for the tools 130 hours, and implementation 180 hours.
Each rough case involves 202 separate machining operations. The design and execution of the watch demonstrates a complete conceptual approach to the movement, case and dial. As a result, everything has been constructed according to an extremely rigorous specification.
