Richard Mille RM 47 Time of the Samurai 43x50mm Manual Winding Ceramic Skeleton Watch
The Richard Mille RM 47 Time of the Samurai transforms traditional Japanese warrior imagery into an extraordinary piece of mechanical wrist art. Framed by a sculptural 43 x 50mm tonneau-shaped ceramic case, the watch combines a dark, understated exterior with an exceptionally detailed interior, creating a dramatic contrast between modern technical design and centuries-old samurai symbolism.
The centerpiece of the openworked dial is an elaborate three-dimensional samurai armor sculpture extending across the mechanical architecture. Gold and bronze-tone armor components, layered protective plates, helmet details, swords, and traditional cord-inspired decorations create remarkable depth, giving the dial the appearance of a miniature warrior sculpture built directly around the movement.
The imposing samurai helmet dominates the upper section of the dial, while the layered armor and intersecting mechanical structures fill the center with intricate visual detail. Beneath them, the exposed tourbillon mechanism adds dynamic movement to the composition and reinforces the watch’s highly mechanical character.
Deep red, black, and warm gold tones reference the ceremonial appearance of traditional Japanese armor while contrasting sharply with the industrial skeletonized movement underneath. Broad openworked hands and triangular hour markers provide functional time reading without taking attention away from the sculptural centerpiece.
