Introducing: The Richard Mille RM 011 Midnight Fire, Sold Exclusively In The Americas

The material is incredibly strong and light and is made from multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by dividing carbon fibers. The thin layers are then laced with resin and then woven on a special machine
