Richard Mille secured the spot as the coolest luxury watch maker at the SIHH 2012 with the RM056 featured a few days ago. Now the skull and titanium Tourbillon RM 052 Skull watch takes the brand to a whole new plane of trendiness.
The skull is used not only for decoration but also as a functioning part of the movement. The movement’s center bridge has been constructed from the back of the skull and the ruby of the tourbillon cage is held between the upper and lower jaws. Four bridges connect the movement to the case and form the crossed bones of the skull and cross bone design.
Limited edition of 21 pieces, which includes 15 pieces in titanium and 6 unique set pieces in red or white gold.
Rumored Price: $700,000
Technical specs:
Power reserve:
