RM 11-03 F1

Something of the pit lane survives in the RM 11-03 F1, though the watch keeps a remarkable composure about its origins. Skeletonising the build has left an automatic movement derived from a flywheel entirely exposed: engineering in miniature, and proud enough to be looked at.

Against the skin it is barely detectable, and it holds motorsport's drama beside a refinement that would never look out of place in distinguished company.

• Openworked flyback chronograph
• Built on motorsport principles
• Astonishingly little weight

A present-day classic — for whoever gives speed and polish the same standing.
