SECOND CHAPTER
SECOND CHAPTER
The RM HJ-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon marks the second chapter in the Brand’s high jewellery saga. Conceived as an immersive world of colour, light and form, the collection celebrates 20 years of design for women through a dreamlike dazzling language. Comprising 12 unique timepieces organised into four chromatic universes: pink, violet, blue and green – the collection approaches jewellery as an integral part of the watch’s construction, with stones shaping the unique character of each timepiece. Gem-setting informs every surface of the RM HJ-02, from the case and buckle to the movement itself.
a declaration of artistic freedom
The 12 unique RM HJ-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon timepieces are a declaration of artistic freedom: a collection where colour and technical gem-setting prowess converge to create one-of-a-kind objects designed to stand apart.
The Dazzling Division
The Dazzling Division
These women embody the new Richard Mille High Jewellery collection, united within a club, a syndicate of brilliance: the Dazzling Division.
Each expresses a bold vision of feminine independence, radiating intensity, passion and individuality. Together, their personalities intertwine through a dynamic interplay of contrasts and harmonies, forming a magnetic collective that reflects the many facets of the Richard Mille universe.
Skeletonised automatic winding tourbillon movement with hours and minutes.

The baseplate and bridges are machined from 18K white gold, both microblasted and bevelled by hand. The skeletonised baseplate and bridges were subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimise their resistance capacities.
The RM HJ-02 stands out for this close interplay between mechanics and high jewellery. Exceptional precious and ornamental stones structure the lines of the movement, ensuring visual continuity with its silhouette
This type of balance wheel represents the ultimate in innovation. It guarantees greater reliability when subjected to shocks and during movement assembly or disassembly, hence better chronometric results over time.
The regulator index is eliminated, and a more accurate and repeatable calibration is possible thanks to 4 small, adjustable weights located directly on the balance.
Made of gem-set gold, it features a One-Way® reverser system mounted on ceramic ball bearings to optimally wind the barrel.

MINERAL HARMONY
Snow, grain and bezel-setting techniques organise colour and define structure across 1,399 precious and ornamental stones set in each timepiece. Rubies, sapphires, diamonds, emeralds and Paraíba tourmalines interact with malachite, chrysoprase, turquoise and mother-of-pearl in dazzling compositions of colour, alongside a constellation of other vibrant precious and ornamental stones that give the collection its kaleidoscopic intensity. Volumes are carved and layered. The complex geometries of stones in various sizes and shades create a striking visual rhythm. When every stage related to the gem-setting process is taken into consideration, from preparation to finishing and multiple control procedures, nearly 700 hours are devoted to each watch, the equivalent of approximately 88 full working days.
The collection draws from Art Deco’s geometric vocabulary, reinterpreted through Richard Mille’s technical and material language. The tonneau case no longer follows a single uninterrupted curve, but is broken into sharp transitions, layered planes and asymmetrical interruptions that radically alter its silhouette. The RM HJ-02 applies this refined identity directly to the case, which took more than a year to develop, contributing to a total development time of over three years for the entire watch.
