  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Press Release
    Press release Zurich/Geneva, 3 December 2020 Global Powers of Luxury Goods: Swiss luxury goods companies started the year of crisis on a high With the highest net profit margin, Swiss luxury goods companies outperformed their international competitors in 2019, which gave them a head start into a difficult 2020. Especially in the subcategory for jewellery and watches, Swiss companies continue to shine, accounting for 32% of all companies in this sector in this year's Deloitte Global Powers of Luxury Goods Top 100 ranking. With two companies in the top 10 and a total of 10 companies, one up from the previous year, Switzerland generated 13.2% of luxury goods sales of the top 100 companies. While almost all the Swiss companies continued to grow, Swatch Group saw negative growth of 3% and dropped from 8th to 10th place in this year's ranking. At the same time, Swiss luxury watchmaker Richard Mille raced to the top of the 20 fastest-growing companies, recording impressive growth of 200%. The COVID-19 pandemic has walloped luxury goods manufacturers. Travel restrictions and shops closures across the globe during the lockdown caused massive falls in traditional retail sales. Despite the promising news of several effective vaccines on the horizon, a rapid end to the crisis seems unlikely. The good news, however, is that 2019 was a good year for luxury goods companies in Switzerland, giving them a good starting position for a difficult 2020. At 16.2%, Switzerland had the highest net profit margin out of all the countries in the top 100 and recorded a year-on-year luxury goods sales growth rate of 6.9%, an increase of 1.8 percentage points on the previous year.

No one knew or cared whether a Speedmaster had straight lugs or bombay lugs. The backlight was an instrument only used in the nightclub. Now-a-days things have changed. The vintage watch market is stronger than ever. The allure of brands like Rolex and Patek is undeniable and there seems to be no end in sight to the rise in vintage watch prices. The B-track/side brands are also burning gaping holes in the pockets of watch collectors all over the world. Within this heightened market exists an elite group of people that scour the globe in search of rare and important horological beauties. The vintage watch dealer is a Captain Ahab of sorts.

  • Mclaren Automotive and Richard Mille Unveil Exclusive RM 40-01 Speedtail Timepiece
    MEDIA Media release 08.30 EST May 12, 2021 — McLaren Automotive and Richard Mille unveil exclusive RM 40-01 Speedtail timepiece . Limited edition of 106 timepieces to match the exclusivity of the 106 Speedtail hypercars built by McLaren Automotive . The most extreme watch ever made at Richard Mille matched to a specific hypercar design of the fastest road-going car McLaren has ever built . First use of in-house developed power reserve indicator, large oversize date and function selectors on the Richard Mille automatic in-house tourbillon As luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive and Richard Mille enter the fifth year of their ongoing partnership, they reveal their latest and most ambitious collaboration to date - the RM 40-01 Automatic Tourbillon McLaren Speedtail. As the name suggests, this remarkable and unique watch honors the fastest, most advanced and most exotic road car McLaren has yet produced - the futuristic looking Speedtail. Based on the form of a teardrop, the most aerodynamically efficient shape found in nature, the Speedtail is the apotheosis of the streamlined hypercar, a three-seat hyper grand tourer that became the third car in McLaren's Ultimate line-up. With its 1,070-horsepower hybrid powertrain, the Speedtail covers 112 meters per second when travelling at its top speed of 250mph, making it the fastest McLaren road car to date. McLaren's relentless pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency provided the starting point for the design of the RM 40- 01 Automatic Tourbillon McLaren Speedtail. "There are many similarities between the way that Richard Mille and McLaren approach common design and engineering challenges, such as saving weight, reducing vibrational impact and minimizing resistance.’’ said Rob Melville, McLaren Automotive’s design director, with the new RM 40-01 perfectly demonstrating why the two brands make ideal partners.

  • Sebastien Loeb, a New Richard Mille Partner
    SEBASTIEN LOEB, A NEW RICHARD MILLE PARTNER Richard Mille is delighted to announce that rally driver Sébastien Loeb has joined the team of prestigious sports stars involved with the brand. In addition to this Frenchman’s huge talent – with 9 world championships under his belt! – Richard Mille was won over by his warm personality and down-to-earth approach. At just 38 years old, Sébastien Loeb has already developed an exceptional career, with a record-breaking 9 world championship titles, 76 victories and 112 podium finishes in the World Rally Championships. Loyal to Citroën since his competitive debut, he is supported by a dedicated team who have shared his success for many years and his co-driver and friend Daniel Elena has played a role in all his victories from the outset. The pair’s brilliance and mutual understanding have enabled them to take podium after podium and go down in motor sport history. Sébastien Loeb is also renowned for his great versatility in motorsports, moving from dirt to road with extraordinary ease, as demonstrated by his magnificent second place in the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Team Pescarolo prototype. Given these achievements, it would be easy for Sébastien Loeb to relax now but always looking for new challenges, he created Sébastien Loeb Racing in 2011, a motor racing team. The 2013 racing season will be intense for the team which steps into the FIA GT Series with two McLaren, MP4-12C GT3. Sébastien Loeb will also participate in the GT Sprint Series season on top of his partial rallying programme in WRC (4 rounds).
