The latest installment in Richard Milles ongoing series of luxury sports watches in honor of brand ambassador Rafael Nadal is the beautiful new Richard Mille RM 35-03 Rafael Nadal Automatic, which comes in two color variants and was originally debuted on here. Today I go hands-on with the white-cased version that comes with a fun baby-blue rubber strap. The watc [...]

In the current haute horlogerie arms race, brands have spread their ambitions beyond increasingly intricate skeleton movements and complications, and set themselves to work developing more durable, reliable iterations of these complex creations. Richard Mille is leading the charge for this new generation of more rugged ultra-luxury timepieces, pioneerin [...]

By and large, vintage racing can be less a true motorsport than a parade, with wealthy car collectors delicately marching priceless classic race cars around a circuit at low speed for fear of damaging a one-of-a-kind museum piece. The biennial Le Mans Classic at the world-famous Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France is no such event. Over 24 hours, this event [...]

Since its inception in early 2016, the partnership between Richard Mille and McLaren, British constructor of both ultra-high performance road going hypercars and Formula 1 racing machines, has produced only two watch designs. Both of these models have been among Richard Milles most complex and technically advanced, however, setting the b [...]

These designs have become icons of their own in the ultra-premium sports watch field, helping to drive a new generation of hypercomplex sports chronograph designs. When Richa [...]

While sporting partnerships of all kinds abound in the modern luxury watch industry, many of the highest-profile sponsor relationships nowadays come through the world of tennis. Brands from Rolex to Seiko have established connections with tennis stars, but one of the longest running and most prestigious partnerships in the sport is between Richard Mill [...]

Using terms like entry-level or mid-range always feels a bit disingenuous when discussing Richard Mille, as even the brands simplest creations are technically advanced and stratospherically priced. When the time comes to replace one of Richard Milles mid-range staples, then, expectations are understandably high. After the recent discontinuation of the cornerstone RM 11 flybac [...]

As hard as a diamond, Cermet reappears on the scene in the exterior of the new Richard Mille RM 11-05 Automatic Flyback Chronograph GMT, as Richard Mille continues its ventures into the fascinating world of unobtanium-grade materials. Essentially the 911-equivalent for the brand - meaning it costs as much as a P [...]

The Richard Mille RM 52-06 Tourbillon Mask was introduced a few months back as a limited edition for the Americas, and I was recently able to get my hands on the White Quartz TPT model. Not exclusively an aesthetic stamp, the Rorschach test of a mask is fully integrated with the movement and tourbillon. This starkly whit [...]

Richard Milles latest release, the RM 52-05 Tourbillon Pharrell Williams, is one of the most dramatic examples of the brands artistry in recent years. Produced in partnership with award-winning singer, songwriter, and music producer Pharrell Williams, the new piece takes inspiration from Williams lifelong fascination with space travel through an [...]

It might sound creepy and all, but I sometimes wish I were a fly on the wall. Like when the idea for the Richard Mille Bonbon Collection was first raised and presented at the brands HQ, or when fellow exhibiting brands at SIHH saw Richard Milles swan song at its last SIHH this year. In other words, the Richard Mille RM 07-03 Cupcake, Richard Mille RM 07-03 Marshm [...]

One of the most popular Richard Mille watch product collections is the gracefully aging RM 11 (it has had some updates over the years), seen above in its RM 11-03 FQ TPT version (theres also the RM11-03, RM011, and RM 011). The RM 11 family goes back more than a decade and is based on the RMAC3 movement, which is simple by Richard Mille standards but scores h [...]

With Baselworld 2019 just behind us, news of new releases from the worlds biggest brands is still flowing thick and fast. Although we generally focus more on the watches themselves, the release of the?Richard Mille RM 07-01 Ladies watch brings with it a very exciting development from the Richard Mille in-house research and development team. Thi [...]

Colored sapphire cases really make the most of of sapphires versatility, and the colors chosen for this project are pink, blue, and [...]

Now toward the end of 2018, I get to think back on the many new timepieces I played with over the course of the year and try to decide which left a lasting impression. The almost million-dollar Richard Mille RM 25-01 Tourbillon Adventure produced for and in collaboration with actor, director, and action movie star Sylvester Stallone is cer [...]

Strangely enough, I had little trouble wrapping my head around cable-suspended movements, sophisticated tourbillons inexplicably worn during top-tier tennis matches, or wristwatches with mechanical G-force sensors, even. The?Richard Mille RM 028 Diver in red gold has, rather unexpectedly, become the first Richard Mille that I feel sticks out from the complex, b [...]

For the second year now, Swiss ultra-high-end watchmaker Richard Mille was the presenting sponsor of The Bridge, which is an exclusive classic car appreciation event held at a private golf course built on a historic race track. Bridgehampton, New York was the home of the Bridgehampton Race Circuit, one of Americas first permanent race tracks that opened in 195 [...]

RM25-01 FULLFRONT RGBAs obnoxious at is, I love this Richard Mille Tourbillon Adventure uber-luxury wristwatch toy. Sure, only the likes of Sylvester Stallone and anyone else able to afford its $983,000 USD price tag will be able to own one but its fun to imagine. Though, I wont stay up a [...]

The mad people at Richard Mille are back at it again with another outrageous watch, or in this case, watches. Available in bright red, white, and blue, these are the new Richard Mille RM 022 Tourbillon Aerodyne Dual Time Red-White-Blue Limited Edition watches that will only be available in Richard Mille boutiqu [...]

Taking things to the extreme seems to be a mantra at Richard Mille. The brand is perhaps most famous for?outrageous price tags, but the engineering behind their pieces is equally impressive. Take the RM 67-02 for example. Made with high-tech ultra-light materials, this is an automatic watch that, including the strap, weighs a scant 32g! As a re [...]
