McLaren, Richard Mille unveil new Speedtail timepiece
DUBAI, 10 days ago Luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive and Richard Mille, entering the fifth year of their ongoing partnership, have revealed their latest collaboration to date - the RM 40-01 Automatic Tourbillon McLaren Speedtail. As the name suggests, this remarkable and unique watch honours the fastest, most advanced and most exotic road car McLaren has yet produced - the futuristic looking Speedtail. Based on the form of a teardrop, the most aerodynamically efficient shape found in nature, the Speedtail is the apotheosis of the streamlined hypercar, a three-seat hyper grand tourer that became the third car in McLaren s Ultimate line-up.
A complex sports timepiece and a masterpiece of technical prowess, Richard Mille’s new RM 65-01 is powered by the maison’s most complicated automatic calibre yet
The audacious and flamboyant manner in which Richard Mille approaches watchmaking is driven by a tireless quest for innovation. From the maison’s first-ever release in 2001, the RM 001 Tourbillon, to the RM 027 Tourbillon Chronograph that Rafael Nadal wore on the courts at Roland Garros and the playful Bonbon collection unveiled in 2019, fans of the brand have learnt to expect the unexpected.
The brand’s most recent release, the RM 65-01 automatic split seconds chronograph, continues with this tradition. The culmination of some five years of development, it is the most complex timepiece ever to leave the Richard Mille workshops, embodying the brand’s technical approach. It is a feat of mechanical watchmaking that called for patience, technicity and perseverance.
