With Richard Mille Warranty dated 30 September 2010, instruction manual, product literature, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
Richard Mille began his career as a marketing expert, however his long association with the French firm Matra and later with the jewelery firm Mauboussin gave him a clear perception of the style of wristwatch he envisioned for the 21st Century. At the start of the new millennium Mille introduced, under his own name, a line of watches having their own unique look and technical complexity. The first, the Tourbillon RM001 was released in 2001.
Seeking to emulate the skilled craftsmanship of high performance Formula One racers or fighter jets, Mille uses futuristic materials like nano-fibers and ultra-light aluminum movement plates. By incorporating futuristic materials and specially developed escapements he has created fine timepieces that have their own unique character.
