Blithesomely colourful, intensely complex -  the Tourbillon Richard Mille RM 59-01 Yohan Blake presented to the press at  SIHH 2013.   There is a a certain playfulness in the architecture of this piece.  Face-on it is, perhaps suggestive of a particularly vibrant printed circuit board – but those “claws” are not simply striking cosmetic paraphernalia, [...]

The Richard Mille Tourbillon G-Sensor RM 036 … with an on-board micro-mechanical G-Shock Sensor? ….. you have my attention Mr. Mille.   That Richard Mille watches are technically advanced is in no doubt.  This is the brand who, at SIHH 2012 unveiled a wristwatch with a case which was entirely constructed from sapphire – a [...]

  Is there a better showcase for a watch company than the Olympic Games?  Of course not.  Omega have almost made timing the event their own – the London 2012 Games has been their 25th time as official timekeeper.  In the build-up to this year’s event the brand have provided some rather spiffing ads and [...]

[...]

    Hands up who likes Martin Brundle? It would be easier to count those who don’t.  The man has had a distinguished racing career thus far – in Formula 3 he clashed with Ayrton Senna, finishing only a whisker width behind him in the 1983 championship.  In F1 he was a true racer, earning [...]

  Recently I read on another watch blog that the “DLC Thing” was over, out of date, and sooooo last year.  That maybe so, but watches with pitch black cases, shadowy dials and inky inner workings just keep on coming.   As far as blacked-out watches go, the Richard Mille RM 016 Black Night is [...]

  In honour of their continued partnership with the Biennial Le Mans Classic Race, Richard Mille announce two special editions – the Richard Mille RM 008 LMC Tourbillon Chronograph and the RM 011 LMC Automatic Chronograph.     Of course, given a choice you’d choose the tourbillon model and it is superb – microblasted titanium [...]

  Among the eclectic mix of timepieces on show at SIHH 2012, one model stood apart among the polished glass cases, for it was itself encased in a transparent and polished watchcase – the Richard Mille RM 056 Felipe Massa Sapphire – backlit, sidelit and extremely tricky to photograph it caused quite a commotion, not [...]

In the build up to SIHH 2012 comes pre-show details of the Richard Mille RM037, a piece with a new in-house Calibre, the CRMA1.   Technical advancements and innovations are the norm at Richard Mille.  There is a methodological process involved in achieving the end product of all Richard Mille watches, one which is often [...]

  It’s a summertime tradition in the watch world – less diamonds, more diver’s watches.  Richard Mille watches are anything but traditional, none-the-less the brand have just released an exclusive new addition to their diver’s collection, the RM028 Saint-Tropez.   There is a certain size/weight ratio with Richard Mille watches, the bigger it looks, the [...]

Richard Mille release an exclusive new timepiece the RM027 Tourbillon, a watch designed for and in partnership with tennis ace Rafael Nadal.

With the release in 2009 of the RM 021 Tourbillon “Aerodyne”  Richard Mille impressed the industry with the continued use of ever-more technically advanced modern construction materials.  The materials in question – orthorhombic titanium aluminides – a group of alloys originally the subject of research by NASA for use in construction of the wings of [...]
