A tribute to the celebrated Italian footballer and manager, the Richard Mille RM 11-01 “Roberto Mancini” is a remarkable fusion of haute horlogerie and the beautiful game. Designed in collaboration with Mancini himself, this tonneau-shaped timepiece was conceived as an ultra-technical instrument to assist a manager during a match.
Housed in a robust and lightweight titanium case, the watch is powered by the automatic movement which offers a 50-hour power reserve and features a flyback chronograph, an annual calendar, and a large date display. However, the dial is where its unique purpose is revealed. It is specifically laid out to time for a football match, displaying time across two 45-minute halves with provisions for stoppage and extra time. A pusher at 4 o'clock resets the chronograph to start the next period, making it a truly functional tool for the sidelines. Whether produced as a regular model or in limited quantities, this "perfect chronograph for soccer lovers" has become highly sought after and is a standout piece for any collector of avant-garde watchmaking.
