  After years of being involved with the Le Mans Classic (and Richard still is for that matter), Richard will now sponsor a team in the Le Mans 24 Heures endurance race in June. This year, Richard has joined forces with Nissan and Greaves Racing (check the name) to sponsor Martin Brundle, Alex Brundle (Martin’s son), and Lucas Ordonez. This is a new team and a return to LeMans for Brundle senior. I was invited along to Silverstone for the day to both drive one of the new Nissan GT-R cars for ... more

The next edition of Le Mans Classic will be held from 6th to 8th July 2012. Richard Mille will naturally be there in its capacity as Principal Partner and Official Timekeeper of the competition, which has become one of the world's most renowned events for vintage cars. To mark the event, the brand is unveiling two limited editions: the RM 008 LMC and the RM 011 LMC. These two technically advanced, high-performance sports watches are a tribute to this outstanding race, which offers a retrospect... more

It was the star of the show at SIHH 2012. Richard’s RM056 was a ghost of a machine as it appeared to levitate in the display case. Almost without exception, the reaction was one of awe. How could this be! How, with a complex three part case, could the case be made from crystal, second only to diamond in hardness, and with so many intricate surfaces and shapes? Not least of which, the curvature of the case in three parts to match together perfectly. Seeing the crystal case manufacture and the case i... more

The new RM 055 Bubba Watson is inspired by the RM 038 Bubba Watson tourbillon watch presented in 2011. Its mechanical movement in grade 5 titanium displays extreme skeletonization, with a PVD- and Titalyt® treated baseplate and bridges. This combination provides the whole structure with optimum rigidity and excellent surface flatness and finish, essential aspects for the perfect functioning of the gear train. The caliber RMUL2 is thus capable of withstanding accelerations of over 500-G's.... more

Richard Mille TOURBILLON RM 039 AVIATION E6-B FLYBACK Aviation and aeronautics have always been sources of inspiration for Richard Mille. As such, materials including titanium, carbon nanofiber, honeycombed orthorhombic titanium aluminide, ARCAP or even tungsten carbide have all found applications in the collection, stepping out of the aeronautical world and into the realms of watchmaking for the first time. The mechanical and aesthetic properties of these materials are now ... more

Richard Mille RM 031 HIGH PERFORMANCE The concept of performance, whether chronometric or technical, has been an obsession at Richard Mille ever since the brand was founded in 2001. It recurs in each of its designs, developments and creations.   Innovation, original concepts and the use of new, increasingly high level performance materials have enabled the creation of some truly outstanding pieces, such as the RM 015 Perini Navi with its subtle representation of the n... more

  When the RM027 first appeared on the scene, I was fortunate enough to be provided with the one of the prototypes to try out. (http://richardmille.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-18/pi-3766246/ti-602166/s-0/) At the time I thought it was an act of brilliance and in witnessing some of the reactions of people over the years, to the RM027’s lightness and stark features, nothing has dimmed or detracted from my views on the watch. I still see it in the person’s smile; that realisation tha... more

  About a year and a half ago I was sitting with Richard in the lounge at the Le Mans Classic and noted a new watch on his wrist. Sure it was the RM011 movement, but this was a different case; something that I was later told was an experimental piece. One of the issues that Richard had been working on was the case rigidity for the RM027 that was going into production. I now know that the RM011 he had one was also a precursor to the RM050 that was released at this years’ SIHH. The new case in... more

The 2012 SIHH PuristSPro Live Report - Jon Z. (Z3) Richard Mille RM 056 Felipe Massa Tourbillon Split Second Competition Chronograph Sapphire - Case constructed entirely with sapphire crystal - first time anyone has ever done this. Super cool, however, the few lucky owners needed to be reminded that the sapphire case also tends to be super delicate to wear - unlike metal, once the sapphire crystal gets chipped, there's no way to polish it...

  While other firms consolidated, Richard Mille pushed onwards and produced the watches that were the ‘wow factor’ of the fair. I have already posted the pictures of the RM056 ‘Ghost’ and so here, to my mind, are the other highlights. I have to say that whatever preconceptions you may have on the watches, seeing them in the metal (or whatever material they are made of) can certainly change whatever conceptions you started off with. Richard is a genius at taking what you think... more

First pictures. Limited edition of 5 pieces. Tourbillon, split second chrono, reworked RM008. Crystal case. Got to give it to the man! Richard scores again! Unbelievable watch. Truly a ghost as you may not ever see it again! Andrew H ===For Andrew's original post in Richard Mille forum, richardmille.watchprosite.com ... more

[Bubba Watson at the French Open this year wearing the RM038 prototype on one of its first outings.]About a year ago, I learned that Richard was about to enter the world of golf. It seemed a strange departure after Formula 1 and tennis, but as with all of Richard's ventures into sponsoring a sport ambassador, the proof was going to be in the watch and who was wearing it. And while part of the thought was: another sports watch: so what? There is also the fact that this is the first watch specifically des... more

As an advance release to the upcoming SIHH 2012 collection to be presented in January, Richard Mille is pleased to present today a landmark new timepiece, the RM 037 and the new automatic caliber CRMA1. It represents an original in-house construction by the Richard Mille movement designers in Les Breuleux, Switzerland.   THE IN-HOUSE CALIBER CRMA1 AND THE RICHARD MILLE RM 037         This automatic winding caliber created from skeletonized grade 5 titanium sport... more

For Richard Mille, high-end luxury is not only perfection in the design and manufacturing of his watches but must also be reflected in the level of service offered to his clients. He believes that the highest standards of quality require a bespoke customer service. RICHARD MILLE EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON ALL RM WATCHES FROM 3 TO 5 YEARS   Following the unique personalized service provided on the internet site which allows each Richard Mille owner a privileged and permanen... more

You are never too sure what to expect from Richard Mille, and the last time I went to visit, that was exactly the case. There are the usual work benches of watchmakers crouched over their work and concentrating on the microscopic space in front of them. However, in another workshop, another Richard Mille is taking shape on an entirely different scale. About 3 years ago now, Richard announced plans to construct a clock for the City of Quebec as a gift in the spirit of Swiss-Canadian relations. Celebrati... more

Following the success of the RM 011 Doux Edition, Richard Mille and Doux Joailler are pleased to announce the 'Nuit Blanche' collection, an exquisitely-styled, limited edition of Richard Mille's most succesful models, the RM 007, RM 011 and RM 016. The range pays homage to the long-standing cooperation between Richard Mille and Richard Doux, owner of Doux Joaillier.   Richard Mille RM 011, RM 007 and RM 016 Nuit Blanche - Doux Joaillier Limited Edition Since the op... more
