Dripping in diamonds and equipped with a dedicated in-house movement, Richard Mille's RM 07-01 Automatic watches are the paragon of innovation and stylish sophistication

Renowned for its innovation, high-performance materials and unyielding dedication to pushing boundaries, Richard Mille is recognised as one of the pinnacles in modern luxury watchmaking. Among the Swiss manufacture's illustrious offerings, the RM 07-01 holds a special place as a core collection dedicated to women. Also one of the brand's most popular models, the RM 07-01 defies the traditional assumption that women's watches are fashionable but not functional. The timepiece seamlessly merges aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering, proving that femininity and technical prowess are not mutually exclusive.

Central to the allure of the RM 07-01 is its meticulously crafted movement, the CRMA2. Developed in 2014 as Richard Mille's second in-house calibre, the skeletonised automatic winding CRMA is tailored specifically for this collection with features such as a variable-geometry rotor that optimises energy production based on the wearer's activity level, underscoring the brand's dedication to bespoke craftsmanship.
