Richard Mille has unveiled its newest creation Рa timepiece for the ladies that?s been introduced in the form of a collection of ten watches. Called the RM 71-01 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman, it is the first collection overseen from top to bottom by Richard Mille?s C̩cile Guenat, the watchmaker?s director of ladies? collections. Each of the 10 watches in the collection features a variation on the mother-of-pearl, onyx, and diamond settings. However, the highlight of the watch, beyond its unique design, is the watchmaker?s first-ever, in-house automatic tourbillon movement, the Caliber CRMT1. The movement is largely made out of grade 5 titanium, making it ultra-light and compact, while still offering the typical robustness that Richard Mille?s calibers boast. It measures just 6.2 millimeters in thickness and 8 grams in weight.
Despite that the dial is largely skeletonized, it still features a miniature piece of artwork inspired by different art forms. ?My work is the fruit of very different influences. In designing this collection, I drew not only on Art Deco, but on the Tribal arts?masks, African sculptures, etc.?whose impact on all great modern and contemporary artists has been enormous,” said Guenat. Five pieces of each of the 10 variations of the RM 71-01 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman will be available with a price tag of 400,000 CHF (roughly $405,000).
