Why are RM watches so expensive?

RM watches are so expensive for a few reasons. First, Richard Mille invests heavily in research and development to pioneer new technologies and materials, such as Graph TPT, a proprietary graphene that is ultralight but still highly durable. This exclusive metal and the other materials that go into Richard Mille watches, such as genuine gold and titanium, also factor into their aspirational prices. What's more, artisans handcraft each watch via traditional processes that can take a few days or even several years to complete, increasing the cost of production. Plus, Richard Mille produces its watches in limited quantities, sometimes making only 10 or a dozen of certain designs. Consequently, demand for these Swiss watches tends to greatly outpace the supply. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Richard Mille watches.
