Lot Essay

With the goal of improving case ergonomics along with legibility, Richard Mille launched the RM 029 TI in 2011. The timepiece is an incredibly lightweight and streamlined, contemporary wristwatch made for all occasions. The complete construction of the watch is crafted from titanium, which includes the case, hands, and movement, allowing the timepiece to have a supernatural feeling on the wrist. Further, Richard Mille treats its grade 5 titanium with Titalyt®, which allows for ultimate rigidity and durability in the hyperlight material.

The skeletonization of inhouse caliber RMAS7 additionally pushes for minimal weight and gives the timepiece a contemporary, sporty edge. The watch has a big date at 4 o’clock which aids in readability, one of the original pillars in conceiving this timepiece.

On paper, the proportions of this tonneau-shaped timepiece may sound large, but the watch has an incredibly balanced, streamline fit on the wrist. The pleasant fit can be attributed to the curved caseback of the watch which conforms to the wrist. Additionally, the rigid strap feels like part of the case, giving the timepiece a contemporary presence. Reference RM 029 TI is a marvelous, ultramodern timepiece suitable for a large array of wrists, and would make an excellent addition to any serious watch collection.
