Richard, Rafael, and the RM027 makes’ its debut at Roland Garros

Paris in the spring is such a beautiful city. There is a bounce in the step of one and all – tennis players and spectators alike. I was lucky enough to be invited to Richard Mille’s Lounge at Roland Garros where we were all assembled to delight at the tennis on the Centre Court (known as Philippe Chatrier).   It seems strange that a tennis stadium would be named after a World War 1 fighter pilot and innovator: Roland Garros. There must be something in the gladiatorial nature of the air t...

Racing with the Trade Winds: Richard Mille at the Voiles de Saint Barths.

Richard Mille RM028.   Racing with the Trade Winds:  Richard Mille at the Voiles de Saint Barths by AndrewH.  The trade winds that blew the ships across the Atlantic and led to the discovery of these islands on the edge of the Americas still lead modern sailors to the same place. Leeward of the main air stream, Saint Barthelemy is a small island in the chain, but has become a magnet for yachting across the globe. Sailing in the trade winds around Saint Barthelemy is different because of ...

Review-RichardMille: ‘The Incredible Lightness of Being … Richard Mille’: the RM027

The essence of the ‘Lightness of Being’ is that events are not repeatable. The mundane, the expected, the repetitive nature of life weighs you down; you become heavy. Just when you thought you had seen it all, just when you wondered where Richard Mille could go next, he comes right back at you with the lightest watch (including the strap) that you could hope to see, or feel. Lighter than the weight of the soul of the wearer, the RM027 watch is the definition of lightness in every sense. In the...

Review-RichardMille: Live Photos of Richard Mille's Pieces at SIHH 2010

PuristSPro's 2010 SIHH Live Reporting by Z3   Richard Mille at SIHH   The new entrant to SIHH has a sexily designed booth, with strong popularity and plenty of traffic... As I was checking in at the front desk, I was greeted by the Man himself, and the visiting buddy FP Journe.       Here are some of the pieces that were present at the show:   RM020 - heavy, chunky (especially the chain), and total deviation from the traditional elegance of the pocket watch - a cla...

Review-RichardMille: Richard Mille makes his debut at SIHH 2010

Richard Mille’s first attendance at SIHH was more a case of being seen, that anything new that he had to show. To pre-empt myself a little, the best from Richard Mille this year will come later in the summer months, rather than now.That said, what he did have in the booth was stunning and I picked on four pieces that perhaps previously I had doubts on. I have stated before that the Richard Mille diver watches were not for me. I think I was wrong on that one. I also brushed over the RM021 ‘Aerod...

Richard Mille Dinner - Hong Kong - iW Magazine - May 5, 2009

On Cinco de Mayo this year I was not at my local Mexican restaurant drinking a Corona. Instead I was invited to join a Richard Mille dinner sponsored by our friends at iW Magazine Hong Kong. The evening was an exciting event. Not just to spend time with Richard himself but also to see the new 2009 collection. With production now about 2000 pieces for the year it’s amazing to see so many new models. Richard Mille watches combine what he describes as "3 pillars". The first is the best possible technique...

Review-RichardMille: Beauty, Art, Sculpture? It can only be RM at the Plaza Athenee in Paris

Rather than join the madding crowd at either Geneva or Basel, Richard Mille stayed close to home (literally) and held the showing of new models this year at the Plaza Athenee on Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Paris in the spring has its own charm – the blossom on the trees, the hint of warmth in the sun, the lengthening days and a general ‘joie de vie’ returns to the daily ethos. It was with such optimism that we boarded the Eurostar and sojourned a Paris to see what new wonders were in sto...

For 2009, a long awaited addition to the ladies’ collection at Richard Mile watches has become a reality with the presentation of the RM 019 “Celtic Knot” Ladies’ Tourbillon wristwatch. The first and most striking feature of this new creation is the diamond studded Celtic Knot that traverses and weaves itself over and through various parts of the movement, connecting and joining winding barrel, power reserve indicator and tourbillon in an endless cycle.

Richard Mille releases the RM025: TOURBILLON CHRONOGRAPH DIVER’S WATCH

I know that Richard has been working on this for some time. Originally, the shape of the watch was to be in the hallmark tonneau shape. However, as the press release details below, Richard in the end had to go with a circular case because of the uneven pressures on the tonneau due to its shape. Hence, the design you see below that has been released today. Enjoy!Andrew H RM 025 Tourbillon Chronograph Diver’s Watch It has finally arrived. The one everyone has been waiting for.

Vanishing Point: Day and Night at the Richard Mille Le Mans Classic

About a month after the famous Le Mans 24 hour endurance race, every two years, the Le Mans Classic takes place on the same circuit. With cars from every decade over which the race has been run, the Le Mans Classic is a celebration of racing machines from yesteryear; from the start of the famous race, to more recent times. Any one with an interest in motor racing, and the cars that made such races great, should really look to attend the event. It really is a 'petrol-head's' dream race. ...

Review-RichardMille: Some Thoughts on the RM011.

Released this year, although it was planned for 2006, with the absence of a new cutting edge tourbillon piece, the RM011 has become the focus of most Richard Mille enthusiasts this year. In terms of price, the RM011 fills the gap between the RM010 and the RM004. In terms of function, the watch completes a number of tasks: a flyback chronograph, a 60 minute countdown, a large date indicator, and a month indicator. If I saw computer generated pictures of the watch last year, and changes have been made si...

Review-RichardMille: Strap changing on RM005

Dear Purists:I wanted to share with the community a little photoessay on changing the strap on a RM005. As a Panerai collector, I have been clearly spoiled by the simplicity and ease of the strap changing system on modern Panerai (although the more vintage pieces have more permanent straps), allowing users to change the look of their watch without the aid of an experienced service technician. Of course, this contributes to a form of obsessive strap changing disorder, where I'm continuously in search for the...
