The RM 029 is a pure lifestyle watch, combining elegance, exceptional lines, useful functionalities, and unmistakable personality. The objective was to improve the ergonomics of the watch by making the date easily legible under all conditions with an oversize date mechanism. We positioned a large, more conspicuous horizontal display at 4 o’clock with graphic design accents. The skeletonized process of RM 029 took more than 10 months to finalize, as there could be no compromise in the movement’s strength or ability to withstand shocks.

This particular watch is forged in a gorgeous titanium movement encapsulated in a rose gold case and bearing a rubber strap with a matching rose gold buckle and clasp. This watch in particular is USED but has always been worn and kept with care and attention, with full boxes and authentication papers.    

The design and execution of the watch demonstrate a holistic approach to the conception of the movement, case, and dial. As a result, everything has been constructed according to extremely rigorous specifications, in the manner of the analytical engineering methods used in the design of Formula 1 racing cars, where the chassis and the engine are developed in complete harmony. And the strap is rubber, but while one may say a rubber strap isn’t the highest quality of material to put on such a watch, it works perfectly for the sporty nature of the design.

The intricate dial of the RM029 is one you have to see to believe, it is absolutely breathtaking and to know the skeletonized process of the RM 029 took more than 10 months to finalize, is one of the coolest parts. They took such time with the dial on every watch because there could be no compromise in the movement’s strength or ability to withstand shocks.
