The RM 07-01 Colored Ceramic collection is a nod to the resurgent Memphis design movement
This season, the ultra-exclusive boutique brand launched the vivacious RM 07-01 Colored Ceramic collection: US$205,000 watches that take their bold aesthetic cues from the 1980s Memphis design movement.
“I find Memphis design particularly fascinating in its diversity and freedom,” said Cécile Guenat, creative and development director at Richard Mille in a news release. “The creator’s goal at the time was to escape the strictures of Modernist aesthetics, and they were pioneers in the use of all types of materials through their designs.”
Guenat selected three summery colors—blush pink, lavender, and powder blue—for the brand’s signature tonneau cases constructed from Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal ceramic. The robust material, which is used for the bezel and case back, is not only ultralight and extremely durable with a hardness of 1,400 Vickers, it also retains its color over long periods of time without fading.
Each case protects the skeletonized, automatic-winding CRMA2 movement with bridges and base plates in micro-blasted grade-5 titanium with an electro-plasma treatment.
