The **RM 008-V2** is a [[double chronograph]] with [[tourbillon]] by [[Richard Mille]].

In [[2004]] [[Richard Mille]] launched this chronograph, which supplemented the complex luxury model [[Richard Mille RM 004-V2|RM 004-V2]] by a [[tourbillon]]. In addition, the model offers the [[complication]] "Split Seconds" (ie [[rattrapante]] or [[double chronograph]] or [[rattrapante]]) as well as a [[power reserve indicator]], a [[torque]] indicator of the movement and a display of the selected operating mode.

For the rattrapante function an improvement was developed, by which the friction could be reduced by half and the usual jerking the hand at the start could be virtually completely eliminated by reducing weight and other measures.

Like first in the experimental model [[Richard Mille RM 006|RM 006]] also here the [[plate]] of the watch [[movement]] is made from the innovative material Nano [[carbon]] fiber. The [[Nanofiber]]s are pressed under a high pressure of 7,500 N/cm<sup>2</sup> and a temperature of 2,000˚C.
