RICHARD MILLE SUPPORTS FELIPE MASSA FOR THE 2014 FORMULA 1 SEASON On September 11, Felipe Massa, 32, announced his departure from Scuderia Ferrari after seven years as an official team driver. Richard Mille will continue to support Felipe in this new chapter of his career. Felipe is a good listener with shrewd judgment, who is valued by his technicians. His record in the Italian team is exemplary: 132 starts, 11 victories, 15 pole positions, and second place in the 2008 World Championships, just one point behind Lewis Hamilton. Richard Mille has evolved alongside Felipe. As the brand’s first partner in 2004, Felipe driving for Sauber and Richard Mille co-developed a range of exceptional products bearing the initials F.M. As the brand’s official test driver, Felipe has contributed to the development of some of the most unprecedented technical watchmaking solutions, and still tests them today on the world’s biggest race tracks. The finest example of this collaboration is, without doubt, the RM 006 FM featuring carbon nanofibers. It was the first time a tourbillon watch was worn at the start of an F1 race, and it remained on his wrist throughout the entire 2004 season, witnessing the Brazilian driver’s victories and vicissitudes without requiring any maintenance. Nine years later and Felipe Massa has become much more than just a partner. A genuine friendship between the two men has blossomed. “Felipe is a remarkably intelligent, insightful man, whose impressive career is far from over. We have remained at his side through thick and thin, as with our friend Rafael Nadal, offering our unwavering support and friendship”, explains Richard Mille. Regardless of what the 2014 season holds, Richard Mille and all its partners support and will continue to support Felipe in his sporting decisions, which will undoubtedly lead him to great success..

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.

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.
