Richard Mille RM 016

The RM 016 is a wristwatch by Richard Mille.

This model deviates from the direction which Richard Mille had founded with the 2001 presented premiere model RM 001, as this time it is a very flat, rectangular watch. It is also, in contrast to the majority of the other models, driven by a self-winding movement. Otherwise, the usual avant-garde style of the French watch creator is encountered.

But also in this case an unusual innovation can be admired: a rotor with adjustable geometry. In this way, depending on whether the wearer of the watch is more of an activity-friendly or quiet type, the torque can be individually adapted to the lifestyle.

To support a uniform effect on the oscillating system the watch is equipped, despite the automatic winding, with a double barrel.
