For 2009, a long awaited addition to the ladies’ collection at Richard Mile watches has become a reality with the presentation of the RM019 “Celtic Knot” Ladies’ Tourbillon wrist watch. The first and most striking feature of this new creation is the diamond studded Celtic Knot that traverses and weaves itself over and through various parts of the movement, connecting and joining winding barrel, power reserve indicator and tourbillon in an endless cycle. The hour and minute hands are striking in their asymmetrical placement within the flowing lines of this Celtic Knot pattern.

Dating back to about the 5th century, the Celtic Knot, also referred to as the mystic or endless knot, suggests that in life there are neither beginnings nor endings, consequently reminding us of the timeless nature of the spirit. With its unlimited and returning pathway, the Celtic knot symbolizes an uninterrupted life; it is both an emblem of longevity and the never-ending cycle of our existence.

Keeping with the technical nature of all watches created by the brand, the RM019 utilizes a newly developed power reserve indicator that makes use of a differential gearing system, directly connected to the winding barrel. Via a red line etched on its surface, the direct turning of the power reserve barrel allows the wearer to easily note if the watch requires winding. The RM 019 “Celtic Knot” Ladies’ Tourbillon will be available in 18 carat red or white gold cases, finished with a specially sculpted, Alcryn collared crown.
