The Porte\-Bonheur Clock was presented to [Quebec City](/wiki/Quebec_City "Quebec City") by the Republic and Canton of Jura and the Richard Mille brand in 2014 to celebrate its 400th anniversary. From 2008 to 2014, the Richard Mille company, the technical college of Porrentruy (École des métiers techniques in Porrentruy), and the Neuchâtel Haute Ecole Arc developed and built the clock, which is 3\.5 metres tall, 2\.5 metres wide and 1\.3 metres deep, and weighs 1,913 kg. It required:
* 6,571 hours of development,
* 5,451 components,
* 3,952 hours of assembly and adjusting.

### Starck and Only Watch

In 2005, Richard Mille and the French designer [Philippe Starck](/wiki/Philippe_Starck "Philippe Starck") made their first collaboration, producing a single "RM 005\-1 Richard Mille by Philippe Stark", which was sold at auction in [Monaco](/wiki/Monaco "Monaco") for €285,000, the highest price for an automatic watch at that time, for the benefit of the charity association Only Watch.

Mille and Starck made the extremely complex RM 011 Starck for Only Watch 2007, with a titanium "bangle" bracelet integrated into the case. The watch sold at auction for a new record €320,000 for the same charity.

### Planetarium Tellurium

In 1998 Richard Mille met Stephen Forsey and Robert Greubel during an assignment for Mauboussin. Forsey and Greubel founded the company [Greubel Forsey](/wiki/Greubel_Forsey "Greubel Forsey") in 2004\. They asked Christian Étienne, owner of the Swiss watch clinic in [Porrentruy](/wiki/Porrentruy "Porrentruy"), to assemble the prototype of a [planetarium](/wiki/Planetarium "Planetarium")/[tellurium](/wiki/Tellurion "Tellurion"), designated the Richard Mille Planetarium\-Tellurium, with design and casing by Richard Mille.

The Planetarium\-Tellurium combines a precise gear train and barrel for the planetarium with a detent escapement, making it the most accurate clockwork planetarium\-tellurium of its kind at the time.

Planet Earth, weighing 91 grams, is made of silver, as is the Moon. The Sun is made from yellow gold, Mercury from pink gold, and Venus from natural stone. The planets are [enamelled](/wiki/Vitreous_enamel "Vitreous enamel") in different colours. The Planetarium\-Tellurium weighs 44 kg, including its titanium case and protective glass.
