Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille introduced its first partnership timepiece with McLaren Automotive at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. Co-designed by Rob Melville of McLaren and Fabrice Namura of Richard Mille, the RM 11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph features a case measuring 49.94 x 44.50 x 16.15 mm. It is crafted from Carbon TPT interlaced with orange Quartz TPT, ensuring extreme durability.
Paying tribute to McLaren’s signature orange, the timepiece features titanium chronograph pushers and a rubber strap incorporating the McLaren Speedmark logo. The titanium crown is a faithful reproduction of a McLaren wheel trim.
Inside the RM 11-03 McLaren features the automatic RMAC3 calibre mechanism, with a flyback chronograph and circa 50-hour power reserve (+/- 10%) depending on the period of time the chronograph is utilised.
“We make watches you can wear for any occasion, just as McLaren creates cars that can be driven on a daily basis. We don’t do watches to put in a safe waiting for the next generation.” — Richard Mille
This timepiece is limited to just 500 pieces and retailing for 180,000 Swiss francs (approx. $190,890 USD). For more info be sure to pay a visit to Richard Mille’s website.
