McLaren Automotive and Richard Mille launch their first timepiece at the 88th Geneva International Motor Show

McLaren #automotive and #richardmille have revealed their first jointly-commissioned timepiece. The RM 11-03 #Mclaren Automatic Flyback Chronograph was unveiled at the 88th Geneva International Motor Show, during a reception hosted by #Mclaren #automotive CEO, Mike Flewitt and #richardmille CEO, #richardmille. Limited to just 500 pieces globally and priced at 180,000CHF plus tax, the watch will be made available mainly to #Mclaren Ultimate Series clients. The RM 11-03 #Mclaren, created in close collaboration between #Mclaren #design Director Rob Melville and #richardmille Engineer Fabrice Namura, has been in development since #Mclaren #automotive and #richardmille partnered last year, uniting a mutual interest in unique #design, the use of new materials and modern craftsmanship.  These influences, as well as #design cues taken from McLaren’s range of luxury sportscars and super cars, are reflected in this special timepiece. The case of the RM 11-03 #Mclaren is made of Carbon TPT® interlaced with Orange Quartz TPT®, resulting in an extremely resistant and lightweight case while paying tribute to a colour that is synonymous with #Mclaren. The Carbon TPT® enhances the mechanical performance of the RM 11-03 and offers resistance to harsh environments. The titanium pushers fitted to the Carbon TPT® case echo the #design of the distinctive headlights of the #Mclaren 720S. Titanium inserts, similar in shape to the iconic #Mclaren F1’s air-intake snorkel and bearing the #Mclaren logo, adorn the bezel. The complex grade 5 titanium crown is shaped like a #Mclaren lightweight wheel and the #Mclaren Speedmark logo is incorporated into the rubber strap specifically developed for this watch. The RM 11-03 #Mclaren features the automatic RMAC3 calibre mechanism, first launched in 2016, with a flyback chronograph and 55-hour power reserve.  The instant return of the counter to zero makes it possible to quickly restart the stopwatch function.
