Richard Mille’s RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire Collection is a bold fusion of avant-garde design and vibrant color, proving that luxury watches can be as playful as they are technical. Richard Mille, known for pushing the boundaries of watchmaking, has upped the ante with four strikingly vivid models crafted from colored sapphire crystal. Available in lime green, lilac, and fuchsia, these eye-catching timepieces embody the brand’s flair for creativity.
What sets these models apart is their brilliant hues and the intricate manufacturing process behind the sapphire cases, which are notoriously difficult to machine. Each case takes over 1,000 hours to create, requiring precision machining with diamond-tipped tools to achieve consistency in color—a feat that only a few elite watchmakers can master.
But the Richard Mille RM 07-02 is more than a pretty face. Beneath its stunning sapphire exterior lies the skeletonized CRMA5 automatic movement, featuring a variable-geometry rotor that adjusts to the wearer’s activity and provides an impressive 50-hour power reserve.
The intricate details continue with baseplates and bridges crafted from micro-blasted 18-karat gold; even the oscillating weight is adorned with diamonds. While bold and colorful, these timepieces maintain a unisex appeal, striking the perfect balance between luxury and fun. With only seven pieces of each color available globally, the RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire Collection is a limited-edition masterpiece that will undoubtedly turn heads.
