Richard Mille RM 052

Richard Mille RM 052 Skull – Horological Art with a Fearless Edge

The Richard Mille RM 052 Skull is one of the most visually daring creations in the brand’s lineup, blending high-end tourbillon mechanics with a bold, skull-themed design that redefines what fine watchmaking can look like. Introduced in 2012, the RM 052 broke all conventions with its skull-shaped baseplate and movement architecture, where the skull itself holds the tourbillon cage at the mouth, and its crossbones serve as movement bridges.

Made in ultra-light, high-performance materials such as titanium, ceramic, red gold, and Carbon TPT®, the RM 052 Skull is not just an aesthetic statement—it’s a feat of engineering and hand-finishing. Each edition is released in highly limited numbers, adding to its cult status among avant-garde collectors.
