MARINE CALIBER RM 015
For the first time in watchmaking history and after years of research and development, a movement baseplate in carbon nanofiber has been created. This innovation was first tested with great success on the RM 006, an experimental model. The technical results were remarkable and Richard Mille therefore decided to expand the use of carbon nanofiber further in his tourbillon range. Progress in this important area of development has now opened up a new era in watchmaking.


TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

 
FUNCTIONS
  • Hours, minutes, seconds, date.
MARINE CALIBER RM 015
  • Manual winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes, second time zone, power reserve indicator, torque indicator and function selector.
DIMENSION
  • Length 48 mm x 39.30 mm (widest point) x 13.84 mm (thickest area)
CARBON NANOFIBER MOVEMENT PLATE
  • A composite material of carbon nanofibers, that becomes an isotrope possessing mechanical, physical and chemical stability when molded under high pressure. The movement plate has a ribbed perimeter that assures better rigidity between the plate and bridges. This carbon composite structure is also amorphous, chemically neutral and dimensionally stable within a wide range of temperatures.
BALANCE SPRING
  • Developed in the 18th century, perfected and codified in the 19th, the specially calculated curvature of the balance spring provides excellent chronometric results in tourbillon escapements.
SECOND TIME ZONE INDICATOR
  • Indicates a second time zone with numbers on a transparent sapphire crystal disc. These come into view when suspended above the light colored field near 10:30. The second time zone is simple to adjust via a pusher located at 9 o’clock.
WINDING BARREL TEETH AND THIRD-WHEEL PINION WITH CENTRAL INVOLUTE PROFILE
  • The central involute profile of the winding barrel teeth and pinion provides an optimal pressure angle of 20°. This promotes effective rotary motion and allows for compensation of possible variations in the engagement of the going train, thus insuring excellent torque transmission with a distinct improvement in performance.
