The timepieces measure in at 33mm in width and 47mm in height to give them a more modest profile from afar yet are crafted with [sapphire cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-defy-zero-g) that are quite dazzling to admire from afar or close up. The watches are each powered by the CRMA5 in-house skeletonized automatic movement and require more than 1,000-hours of machining to be produced. The Richard Mille RM 07-02 timepieces come in the [gem-set pink sapphire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fp-journe), green sapphire, lilac sapphire and gem-set green sapphire color options that are each limited to seven examples each. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 33% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Feminine Timepieces:** The shift towards creating softer, more feminine luxury watches opens new avenues in high-end accessory markets for diverse customer segments. - **Sapphire Innovation:** The use of colored sapphire cases highlights an opportunity for innovation in materials, potentially transforming aesthetic and durability standards in luxury watchmaking. - **Limited Edition Exclusivity:** The appeal of extremely limited edition products offers luxury brands a path to enhance product allure by emphasizing scarcity and uniqueness. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Watches:** The introduction of sapphire-crafted feminine timepieces redefines luxury watch offerings and sets a new benchmark for elegance and craftsmanship. - **High-end Accessories:** Innovations in gemstone utilization in luxury watches could influence trends in the broader high-end accessories market, sparking creativity in design and material use. - **Gemstone Processing:** As demand grows for custom and colorful sapphires, the gemstone processing industry could experience a surge in interest for advanced machining and cutting techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Women's Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richard-mille1.md) - [Premium Sapphire Watch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rm-7501.md) - [Summer Tone-Inspired Artful Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rm-0701-coloured-ceramics.md) - [Mechanical Motorsports Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richard-mille-rm-3001-le-mans-classic.md) - [Vibrant Sapphire-Encrusted Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourbillon-skeleton-rainbow.md) - [Melting Crystalline Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp17-meca10.md) - [Demure Dual-Timezone Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-type-7.md) - [Transparent Luxury Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pegasus-sapphire.md) - [Open-Concept Retro-Style Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amida-digitrend-open-sapphire.md)
