About Peptone, Bacteriologica
The RM 001 was designed not just as a delicate accessory, but as a robust, high-performance machine. To prove its extreme shock resistance, the creator famously hurled the prototype onto the ground during its initial debut. [

- The Case: Features the brand's signature curved tonneau (barrel) shape measuring roughly 38mm x 45mm, crafted mostly from 18k white gold or red gold. The front and caseback are sandwiched together using 8 grade-5 titanium screws, completely removing the need for a traditional casing ring. [1, 2]
- The Dial: A semi-skeletonized 3-D sapphire crystal dial that makes the complex internal mechanisms completely transparent and visible. [1, 2, 3]
- The Caliber / Movement: A manual-winding mechanical movement containing a one-minute tourbillon at the 6 o'clock position. [1, 2]
- Key Indicators: It features two fan-shaped sectors at the top: a 70-hour power reserve indicator on the left and a torque indicator on the right, which measures the mainspring's internal tension. [1]
- Extreme Rarity: Only 17 units were ever manufactured. The first 11 units utilized PVD-coated German silver (brass) baseplates, while the final 6 featured the world's first-ever grade 5 titanium baseplates
