The Only Watch Bold Enough for Your McLaren W1
Richard Mille RM 65-01, a Precision Timepiece Designed to Match the Power and Speed of McLaren's Finest Supercar.
Few partnerships in the luxury world exude the level of synergy and shared ambition found in Richard Mille and McLaren. Their newest creation, the RM 65-01 McLaren W1, is not just a watch—it’s a high-performance machine designed to complement one of the most innovative and thrilling supercars ever made, the McLaren W1. Combining cutting-edge horology with automotive perfection, this limited-edition masterpiece pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in both timekeeping and speed.
Full Throttle to Precision
The RM 65-01 doesn’t merely sit on the wrist—it commands attention. Inspired by the release of McLaren’s W1 supercar, a successor to the legendary F1 and P1 models, this watch mirrors the car's ethos of relentless innovation and dynamic performance. Much like the W1, which boasts 1,258 horsepower and a jaw-dropping 0-124 mph in just 5.8 seconds, the RM 65-01 is designed for speed, precision, and durability. It’s a watch that performs as boldly as the supercar it's modeled after.
Inside the RM 65-01 McLaren W1
Since their collaboration began in 2016, Richard Mille and McLaren have consistently pushed the envelope in design and performance. Previous creations like the RM 50-03 and RM 11-03 have made headlines for their groundbreaking engineering, and the RM 65-01 continues this tradition.
The RM 65-01 is equipped with a split-seconds chronograph movement—one of the most complex and precise mechanisms in the world of haute horlogerie. But the watch's innovation doesn't stop there. Designed with a Carbon TPT case, the RM 65-01 echoes the lightweight yet robust materials used in McLaren’s supercars. This carbon composite, combined with grade 5 titanium, offers 25% more resistance to breaking stress and 200% greater resistance to micro-cracks than traditional materials, making the RM 65-01 both tough and beautiful.
Supercar Performance on Your Wrist
Much like the McLaren W1’s race-bred engineering, the RM 65-01 features a meticulously designed, skeletonized automatic movement. It’s not just about telling time—it’s about doing so with precision and style, with each piece of the watch engineered to perfection. The 6-column wheel system ensures optimal performance, while the rapid-winding mechanism offers a quick reset, ensuring your timepiece is ready to go as fast as you are.
From the pusher protectors made of micro-blasted grade 5 titanium to the papaya orange accents reminiscent of McLaren’s iconic branding, every detail of the RM 65-01 is crafted to reflect the supercar it was inspired by. The crown even features McLaren’s Speedmark, a subtle nod to the heritage of both brands.
