Introduced in 2007, the RM015 comes as a form of homage and admiration that its founder had for the famous Italian innovator and yacht builder Fabio Perini. Of equivalent beauty as the 56m Melek, or the 88m Maltese Falcon, Richard Mille attempted with the RM015 to create a timepiece that evoked the feelings of smooth seas, salted decks and light breezes. Looking closely, its design focuses its attention to the key elements of a ship, the crown was shaped to reminisce that of a ship’s winch and its striped tonneau case that of a ship’s deck. Through the sapphire-crystal case back one can clearly notice the artistry and craftsmanship Richard Mille’s and Renaud & Papi’s team have applied in creating the movement for this timepiece. Being a skeletonised carbon fiber base plate, the watch remains light but equally robust on the wrist.
