The RM 020 is the first pocket watch to be equipped with platinum carbon nanofibers, an isotropic material which ensures stability of the balance wheels regardless of external conditions. This hand-wound mechanical watch has a power reserve of approximately 10 days. The unusual selector on the crown allows to wind the movement, set the time or simply rest on neutral position as indicated in a sector on the dial. With this model, Richard Mille has created a modern reinterpretation of the pocket watch which, due to its clever design also functions as a desk clock.

The present watch is the first one of reference RM020 to be produced.
