Richard Mille RM 022 CA FQ Tourbillon Aerodyne Dual Time Zone

With only 10 pieces in existence, the Richard Mille RM 022 CA FQ Tourbillon Aerodyne Dual Time Zone exemplifies the brand’s uncompromising fusion of avant-garde engineering and contemporary haute horlogerie. Introduced as part of Richard Mille’s relentless exploration of aerospace-inspired materials and architecture, the RM 022 features a striking “Aerodyne” baseplate crafted from orthorhombic titanium aluminide—an ultra-light alloy originally developed for supersonic aircraft turbines. Suspended within its signature tonneau-shaped case, the manual-wind tourbillon movement appears almost skeletal, emphasizing depth, transparency, and mechanical tension. Beyond its dramatic visual presence, the watch incorporates a practical dual time zone display alongside torque and function indicators, reinforcing the RM philosophy that extreme technicality should remain wearable and functional. Produced in exceptionally limited numbers, the RM 022 occupies a rare space where experimental materials science, Formula 1-inspired engineering, and traditional Swiss craftsmanship converge into one of modern horology’s most daring statements.
