Mmmm… tasty. Look at them building this thing. It’s like the Grand Coulee Dam in miniature.

Working in near silence, rarely looking up from their work, they allowed an itinerant watch enthusiast a few moments of their time to photograph what they were working on. Below are some never seen before pictures of the inner workings of the RM003 under construction. The pictures illustrate how the iconic and stylized back of the Richard Mille watch (first seen in the RM001) is built up.
