RM 018 "Hommage à Boucheron" is a luxury wristwatch with tourbillon by Richard Mille.

In 2008 Richard Mille launched this edition limited to 30 pieces as a tribute to the 150th anniversary of the Parisian jeweler Boucheron. In addition to the luxurious complication of a tourbillon it offers a power reserve indicator. The special feature of this watch is the use of semi-precious and precious stones such as jade, coral, malachite, tiger eye, jasper, black onyx and diamonds in the gear train. Instead of the main plate a construction of two completely transparent layers of the synthetic sapphire Al2O3 is used here, which carries the whole movement.
