Omega Constellation Replica's RM 001 was a major innovation in the world of watchmaking in 2001. The RM 001 was a new design in terms of both form and function. It had curved case, a three-dimensional movement and emphasized technique. Richard wanted to make a watch that was "total". No gimmicks.

He wasn't about to ignore the traditional finishing processes and techniques that are well-known and (rightfully) praised in the Swiss valleys. He wanted to combine these techniques with those learned in the automotive industry, particularly Formula 1, to create a watch that was unlike any other.

Richard, who had seen the RM 001 and what it could do: the transition from a brass baseplate to a titanium one and incorporating a titanium case in the design; decided to discontinue this watch at 17 and release the RM 002 base model as of 2002.

Richard had only been in business for a little over a year when he began to outline his production philosophy.
