The dynamic collaboration between Ferrari and Richard Mille enters a new chapter with the creation of another timepiece that perfectly combines mechanical brilliance and aesthetic excellence.
Richard Mille and Ferrari have once again pushed the boundaries of innovation with their latest collaborative timepiece: the Richard Mille RM 43-01 Ferrari Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph.
This exceptional watch was presented in an exclusive media showcase at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, where the fusion of high-performance watchmaking and automotive excellence was front and center.
To mark the significance of this launch, key figures from Richard Mille and Ferrari attended the event, sharing insights into the meticulous craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology behind the design.
Among the distinguished guests was Felipe Massa, one of the first and most prominent brand ambassadors for Richard Mille. With this ongoing collaboration, the partnership between these two powerhouses is set to continue for at least another five years, promising even more groundbreaking timepieces in the future.
Although five years may seem like a brief period in the world of haute horology, the alliance between Richard Mille and Ferrari has already made an indelible mark. Since signing their partnership in 2020, both brands have defied expectations with their bold approach to horological engineering.
In 2022, they unveiled their first collaborative masterpiece—the RM UP-01 Ferrari, an ultra-thin marvel measuring just 1.75mm in thickness. This revolutionary timepiece disrupted the traditional boundaries of ultra-slim watchmaking, making a statement as powerful as a Ferrari engine roaring down a racetrack. The RM UP-01 wasn’t just another Ferrari-branded watch—it was a testament to the synergy between Richard Mille’s Formula One heritage and Ferrari’s legendary status in the automotive world.
Now, with the RM 43-01 Ferrari Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph, this dynamic collaboration enters a new chapter, delivering another watch that seamlessly blends mechanical brilliance with aesthetic excellence.
At first glance, the RM 43-01 Ferrari Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph may seem like a classic Richard Mille creation. Given the avant-garde reputation of both brands, many expected a concept as radical as the RM UP-01. However, while the RM 43-01 may appear more traditional, a closer look reveals the sheer complexity and ingenuity beneath its surface.
This timepiece features a state-of-the-art split-seconds mechanism, developed in collaboration with Audemars Piguet Le Locle (APLL). Its precision-driven system operates through two six-column wheels, ensuring seamless movement synchronization, enhanced chronograph functionality, and long-term durability. Extensive research on the function of clamps has led to a refined design that improves both reliability and performance.
Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari’s design mastermind, has long emphasized that aesthetics and technical innovation should go hand in hand. This philosophy is at the core of Richard Mille’s watchmaking ethos—where every technical detail serves a purpose while maintaining a captivating visual identity.
With the Richard Mille RM 43-01 Ferrari Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph, adrenaline and precision converge in a timepiece that is as exhilarating as driving a Ferrari at full speed. This watch is not just an accessory; it’s a mechanical masterpiece born from two of the most innovative forces in the world of engineering and design.
