The RM 037 marked Richard Mille’s declaration that a woman’s watch could carry the weight of the brand’s engineering philosophy rather than decorative compromise. Built around an automatic skeletonised movement, it brought the maison’s chassis-and-engine design language to a smaller, more wearable case. This snow-set white gold example elevates that premise into high jewelry, its diamonds laid by hand in the serti neige technique, where stones of varying sizes are arranged to leave no visible metal between them.

The tonneau case and bezel disappear beneath that dense pavé, their screws set flush amid the sparkle, while a rose gold inner ring frames the openworked dial. At the centre, a slip of mother-of-pearl sits within a diamond-paved cartouche, flanked by the exposed gears and bridges of the automatic calibre. A function selector in the crown governs the winding and setting, and a variable-geometry rotor tunes the self-winding to the wearer’s movements.
