The RM UP-01 is the thinnest mechanical watch ever put into production, 1.75mm from back to crystal, which is thinner than a stack of two credit cards. It was made with Ferrari and has no crown: winding and setting run off two flat keys on the case.

This Richard Mille RM UP-01 wears a 51 x 39mm grade 5 titanium case with a skeletonised face. Manual winding RMUP-01 inside.

Fun fact: The movement had to be redesigned so the barrel and the balance sit side by side rather than stacked, and the balance runs without an upper bridge. It still survived 5,000 g in testing, which no other ultra thin watch will do.

The collection

Automatic

The automatic side of Richard Mille, where the rotor is set to suit the wearer

Automatic Winding is the label Richard Mille puts on the models wound by a rotor rather than by hand, and it appears on tourbillon and non tourbillon references alike. Richard Mille and Dominique Guenat founded the house in 2001 and showed the hand wound RM 001 Tourbillon that year, with automatic calibres following. Most of these share a build: a barrel case held together by grade 5 titanium spline screws, a skeletonised grade 5 titanium baseplate, and a sapphire caseback over the movement. The rotor is where they separate, matched to how active the owner is, by weights that adjust the rotor geometry on some references and by a pusher on the case that switches the winding on others.

Sizes in the family

Barrel cases, roughly 31 to 45 mm wide and 45 to 50 mm long

Who it suits

Suits a buyer who wants the movement in view from both sides and a winding system that can be set for an active wearer.
