Richard Mille Congratulates Manchester City Football Club Champions of Barclays Premier League 2013/14 RICHARD MILLE CONGRATULATES MANCHESTER CITY FOOTBALL CLUB CHAMPIONS OF BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE 2013/14 Richard Mille congratulates Manchester City Football Club for their victory of the Barclays Premier League 2013/14. The Club secured UK’s most prestigious football title for the second time in three years; an achievement that reconfirms City as being one of the top teams in the world. Heading in to the last round of games City knew that securing a win against West Ham would guarantee the title. Manager Manuel Pellegrini encouraged his players to finish the season with the same style and attacking flair that had seen them scoring over 100 goals in 37 games. Eventually goals from Samir Nasri and Vincent Kompany proved vital as City got the win that allowed them to regain the Barclay’s Premier League Trophy. Richard Mille has been MCFC’s Official Timing Partner since 2012, another key year for the Club’s history as City won the 2011–12 Barclay’s Premier League bringing home their first league title for 44 years. The partnership benefits from a strong affinity of values both the Club and the Swiss watch brand share: Richard Mille’s drive for passion, belief in excellence, leadership, and generation of talent is reflected in the partnerships the brand established with the world’s leading sports elite, which include Tennis Champion Rafael Nadal, Olympic Medallist Yohan Blake and World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb. Manchester City and Richard Mille also succeed in working together on charity programmes to the benefit of local communities: Manchester City’s own charity ‘City in the Community’ has recently received a generous donation following the sale of a bespoke timepiece designed by Richard Mille. Bought by anonymous benefactor, the watch was handed over by H.E. Khaldoon Al Mubarak, Chairman of Manchester City Football Club, during the opening ceremony of the Richard Mille Boutique in Abu Dhabi last December. Proceeds of the sale went towards an enterprise and skills programme ‘Enterprise City’ aimed at children in primary school. As a direct result of this donation 1,000 young people in the Manchester area will gain a qualification in Business & Enterprise in the next 18 months. “Today has capped off a superb season on and off the pitch, culminating in us being crowned Barclays Premier League Champions 2013/14. Throughout this season and before we have been extremely fortunate to have been supported by Richard Mille and our other Club Partners and look forward to what next season has in store.” Tom Glick, Chief Business Officer, Manchester City Football Club. ‘We are proud Partners of Manchester City Football Club whilst the Barclays Premier League Champions are celebrating such a significant moment in the history of the Club’ comments Peter Harrison, CEO of Richard Mille EMEA. ‘Manchester City’s commitment to excellence and innovation perfectly matches our desire to create unique timepieces with a strong and inspiring identity. We look forward to continue supporting what has proved to be a successful partnership with City and wish this will inspire the many customers in Europe and the Middle East who already support us with passion’..

  • Material Progressions: Richard Mille
    Spotlight | 53 Material Progressions 5 Last year, QP writer Nick Foulkes used the term ‘garage brand’ to describe Richard Mille’s watches, and he wasn’t far off. He was using the term to describe the ‘upstart’ whose hi-tech creations have been on the market for just five years, yet have managed to attract attention and admiration from the public and industry insiders – admittedly with the help of Audemars Piguet’s justly famous Renaud & Papi studio. But this was just the start, as Theodore Diehl, Richard Mille’s Head of Communications and chief enthusiast tells QP. The transition to real brand status will be truly crystallised by 2006’s panoramic collection. Theodore Diehl One of the most noticeable features of Richard Mille’s RM005 FM’s colours are meant as a celebration of Felipe 2006 collection is the use of colour. This is surprising for Massa’s racing period at BMW Sauber and his new start anyone familiar with the Frenchman’s oeuvre, which with the Ferrari racing team in 2006. has – with the possible exception of last year’s RM007 haute joaillerie ladies’ model – thus far banked on the However, unlike the ultra-light RM009 FM, which was unmistakeable aesthetic of hi-tech, brushed-metal utility. brought out in 25 pieces, the RM005 FM will be created For the first time, colour makes an appearance in two in 300 pieces with micro-blasted titanium cases and 40 special editions of the automatic RM005.

  • Italian Chef Carlo Cracco New Partner of Richard Mille
    ITALIAN CHEF CARLO CRACCO NEW PARTNER OF RICHARD MILLE Richard Mille is delighted to welcome Italian Michelin-Starred Chef Carlo Cracco to its elite stable of Brand Partners. Carlo Cracco is regarded by many as one of the masters of contemporary Italian Cuisine with two Michelin Stars, three Gambero Rosso ‘forks’ as well as being given an exceptional 18,5/20 from the Italian magazine L’Espresso. He started his professional career in 1986 with Gualtiero Marchesi, who is considered to be the founder of Italian Modern Cuisine. He then moved to France to join Alain Ducasse (Hotel de Paris, Monaco) and Lucas Cartons (Senderens, Paris) refining his culinary skills and learning the secrets of French Haute Cuisine. In 1991 he moved back to Italy to be the Head Chef at Enoteca Pinchiorri, Florence, which was awarded three Michelin Stars. Gualtiero Marchesi then offered him the honour of opening his new restaurant, L’Albereta in Erbusco where Cracco was chef for the following three years. In 1996 Cracco decided to open his own restaurant, Le Clivie, in Piobesi D’Alba. The restaurant was awarded its first Michelin star a year later. The year 2000 represented a turning point in Cracco’s career; he accepted the invite of the Stoppani family (owners of the famous Peck delicatessen in Milan since 1883) to become Chef Excutive of a new joint venture; the restaurant Cracco-Peck. In 2001 he saw his dream come true when the restaurant got awarded two Michelin Stars, three ‘forks’ from the Gambero Rosso guide and 18,5/20 from the Italian magazine L’Espresso.

  • The Rafael Benitez Column: Gerrard Can Recall How We Blocked out Ibrahimovic
    The Rafael Benitez Column: Gerrard can recall how we blocked out Ibrahimovic England must create a screen in front of the Sweden danger man and starve him Rafael Benitez Friday, 15 June 2012 England have a very clear obstacle tonight when they play Sweden in Kiev. Everyone will be talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the impact he has already had in these championships for his country and before I go any further on the subject of England I must say that I think that there is a way of dealing with him. It's seven years since our Liverpool team encountered Ibrahimovic in the quarter-final of the Champions League, on our way to the Istanbul final of 2005. He was the big threat in Fabio Capello's Juventus side who we met at that stage but our three-man defence in the Stadio delle Alpi shut him out for the goalless draw that sent us through, after a 2-1 win at Anfield. Yes, Ibrahimovic is very dangerous in the air and he has a very fine touch, but he doesn't like physical contact too much. He's not the quickest player but when he receives the ball to his feet, he likes to keep it, controlling with his chest, perhaps, and bringing other players in. He likes to turn, pass, maybe win some fouls. You might say he's a little like Peter Crouch in some of these positive respects – a player who makes up in other ways what he might lack in pace. The key is to create a screen in front of Ibrahimovic, to prevent him receiving the ball in those areas.
