With the RM020 Tourbillon, Richard Mille reimagines the classic pocket watch, pioneering the use of a carbon nanofiber composite baseplate. Originally engineered for the extreme conditions faced by fighter jets, this advanced material now forms the ideal foundation for the RM020’s tourbillon. Its double-barrel construction delivers an impressive ten-day power reserve.
Offered in very good overall condition, the present RM020 comes with a titanium chain with a quick attach/release mechanism and a desk stand, effortlessly transforming from a pocket watch to a desk clock. Blending cutting-edge design, innovative materials, and traditional mechanical mastery, it exemplifies Richard Mille’s visionary approach to horology.

Richard Mille established his brand in 1999. The mission was to push high-end, handmade watchmaking to the very limits of technical innovation. Richard Mille watches are now regarded as the ultimate expression of luxury and are among the most valuable timepieces in the world. They are revered for their bold, futuristic design, extreme resistance, and quality.
Richard Mille launched its first watch, the manually wound Richard Mille RM001 in 2001. The entire production run of 80 units sold out almost immediately. The prototype RM056 contains one of the most complicated movements to have appeared in a Richard Mille watch to date. The second prototype of the first edition of the RM056 sold for $1.2 million at Christie’s in 2017. The RM008 contains the same complicated movement.
