foverstaAnd now, the curtain has fallen. Richard Mille has presented for the last time its novelties in the context of the SIHH (more will come this year obvjously). However, the collection unveiled in Geneva inspires neither sadness nor gloom. On the contrary, the ten "bonbon" (candy in French) watches bring a breath of freshness and fantasy not only in the Haute Horlogerie segment but also in Richard Mille...Story

foverstaEveryone knows the power of Rafael Nadal's shots, whether on the forehand or backhand sides. So when I learned that the Spanish champion was going to play Roland Garros 2016 to conquer his tenth title on the Paris clay with the RM35-02 on the wrist, I was starting to be worried! But yes, it was the first Richard Mille automatic watch dedicated to Rafael Nadal. So, I wondered if the winding mass would not damage the movement because of an excessive rotation speed after a big topspin shot? There wasn't any ... ...Story

foverstaThe path is traced out for Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille Let's be honest: the news of Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille departure from SIHH is surprising even if it is implacably logical. Personally, I didn't expect it in such manner and so quickly. It would be wrong, however, to consider in the same way the decision of these two brands and that of the Swatch Group (or others) with respect to Baselworld. The consequences are the same and a big watch fair is weakened again...Story

foverstaLe Mans Classic is an event of extreme importance for Richard Mille. At each edition, the watch brand unveils a commemorative piece, but its commitment goes far beyond the presentation of a novelty. First of all, Richard Mille is not a mere sponsor but the partner and the official timekeeper of Le Mans Classic. Then, the history of the brand is intimately linked to the automobile event one since Richard Mille has been committed since the very first edition...Story

foverstaDuring a recent trip, I had the chance to meet a young lady who was wearing the medium set version of the RM67-01. I found this watch perfect on her wrist because it also gave off a lot of elegance and character. We tend to forget it but Richard Mille has been involved in ladies' watches for many years. This long history began in 2005 with the RM007 and is still very dynamic...Story

foverstaI wish today to come back to a watch that is not a novelty. However, thanks to its singularity, I believe it deserves an article. The Richard Mille RM016 is a piece I've always liked since its first introduction in 2007. And by writing this sentence, I have just realized that this watch is eleven years old...Story

foverstaThere is a kind of paradoxical side, even ironic when I observe the Richard Mille RM67-02 which was presented during the last IAAF World Championships in 2017 and that I had the opportunity to discover during the last SIHH. One of the two ambassadors of this ultra-thin watch is Mutaz Essa Barshim who is nothing other than a High Jump champion! I don't know if this slender and elegant athlete, who was able to clear the horizontal bar at 2m43 is best placed to evoke the finesse of the RM67-02 High Jump. But ... ...Story

This new RM53-01 compared to the ... ...Story
