Richard Mille and McLaren Automotive partnered last year, and this is the first watch they have produced as a team which was introduced at at the 88th Geneva International Motor Show. RM 11-03 McLaren Automatic Flyback Chronograph timepiece incorporates design features from McLaren cars, as well as lightweight technologies and high-function aspects typical of Richard Mille timepieces.

Jointly designed by McLaren designer Rob Melville and Richard Mille designer Fabrice Namura, the new watch’s design stem from the McLaren 720S. In fact, the titanium pushers are inspired by the McLaren 720S headlights. The bezel features titanium inserts that are shaped like McLaren F1’s air intake snorkels, and the titanium crown is shaped like a McLaren wheel. Additionally, the McLaren Speedmark logo is incorporated on the rubber strap specifically developed for this edition.
