How Richard Mille Watches Are Made | The $5 Million Engineering Process

In 2023, fewer than 5,000 Richard Mille watches were produced worldwide. That same year, one sold for over $5 million. So what makes a Richard Mille worth more than gold? In this episode of INDUSTRIA, we go inside the engineering, materials, testing, and assembly process behind one of the most controversial and expensive watch brands in the world. From Carbon TPT and sapphire cases to movements designed to survive 5,000 Gs of shock, this is not traditional watchmaking. This is mechanical experimentation at its limit. We break down: • How Richard Mille watches are designed • Why they are so lightweight • The materials used in aerospace and Formula 1 • Why they cost millions • The truth behind the hype This is not about telling time. It’s about pushing engineering beyond limits. Watch until the end to understand why comparisons with Rolex fall apart. Subscribe to INDUSTRIA for more deep dives into how iconic products are made.
