Richard Mille RM70-01 Alain Prost

The collaboration between the brand and the four-time Formula 1 World Champion is based on unshakable loyalty. This time, a shared interest in cycling provided inspiration. Following extensive discussions with Alain Prost, as well as other cyclists, Richard Mille realised that many of them would be hard pressed to say how many kilometres they’d ridden since the beginning of the season. The RM 70-01’s never-before-seen totaliser remedies this by simply displaying the overall distance travelled with their different cycles.

The creation of a timepiece demands a balancing act between total volume, the physical requirements of the movement and its specific features, however, the user’s comfort is equally essential. This was at the heart of the original tonneau shape developed by Richard Mille at the brand’s beginning. Regardless of whether a particular RM model is slim or massive, its shape ensures optimal comfort, never interfering with the owner’s physical movements. Form and function are approached in yet another manner with the RM 70-01.
