Engineering Split-Second Precision: Inside the Richard Mille RM 004
When it launched in 2003, the RM 004 didn’t just enter the world of haute horlogerie — it disrupted it. This was Richard Mille’s first split-seconds chronograph, a notoriously difficult complication that traditionally lived inside heavy, delicate dress watches. Mille, however, reengineered the complication from the ground up — with a titanium baseplate, shock resistance, and skeletonisation that made it suitable for the racetrack, not just the showroom.
At its core is the RM004-V1 movement: a hand-wound manual split-seconds chronograph with hours, minutes, small seconds, power reserve, and torque indicators. Unlike many brands that hide the rattrapante under a dial, Mille brings everything to the surface — letting you watch the mechanism reset and recapture with surgical speed.
The case, available in titanium, white gold, or rose gold, carries the brand’s signature tonneau shape. Its ergonomics are tailored to wrist comfort, despite the mechanical density packed inside. And thanks to its limited production, the RM 004 has become a rare sight even among elite collectors.
This is not just a technical timepiece — it’s a kinetic sculpture built to endure. A collector’s grail for those who want the rarest Richard Mille innovations without compromise.
