The present RM22 “Red” is impressive on absolutely every level, from its total all or nothing philosophy, to its highly complex movement and cutting edge technology used for both movement and case material. In order to create this bright red case, thin fibers of quartz with a thickness of no more than 45 microns were first aligned and saturated in colored resins, and then heated and subjected to a pressure of 6 bar before being machined. The case of this incredible timepiece is made from ultra strong and light quartz TPT while the middle is made from carbon TPT. Initially Richard Mille was started in a collaborative effort with Audemars Piguet. Additionally, the honeycomb pattern gives the dial a light and airy feel. Richard Mille was founded in 1999 by the French executive Richard Mille. As you might have guessed, it is very strong and light, so Richard Mille decided to use it for the baseplate to improve strength and torsional resistance of the tourbillon. The watch’s baseplate, when viewed carefully, has a honeycomb pattern that is made out of a special material called orthorhombic titanium aluminide.

By pressing on the crown, the watch can be set to winding, neutral or time setting mode. Finally the crown functions are indicated via a small hand at 4 o’clock. The second time display is placed at 3 o’clock and read via a sapphire disc that is adjusted in one-hour increments using a pusher at 9 o’clock. The latter indicates the tension in the mainspring and the optimal wind position.
