Richard Mille skillfully reimagines the classic pocket watch using engineering and design from the twenty-first century with the RM020 Tourbillon. Its foundation is a carbon nanofiber baseplate, a new material that was first created for fighter jet structures because of its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, stability, and resistance to temperature changes. This cutting-edge base creates the perfect setting for the RM020's tourbillon-regulated movement's accuracy, and its twin-barrel design guarantees an exceptional ten-day power reserve.
Offered 'full set' and in excellent 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 USD at Christie’s in 2017. The RM008 contains the same complicated movement.
