It was, for the most part, a quiet year for Richard Mille at the Salon de Haute Horologerie (SIHH). It was also a year for complicated ladies watches. For once, there were no new cutting edge materials on offer, no new sports ambassadors, or no new case designs. For the main watches on show, and for the theme surrounding the booth, there was a floral and sensory motive. For a brand that is set definitely in the twenty first century, where the sense of the modern is foremost in the design and the execution, Richard (as is his tendency) was contrarian. He ran counter to the growing use (and proliferation even) of new materials, or materials from space, and produced watches in a very traditional mode. In a sense, Richard turned back the clock to somewhere around the eighteenth century to produce a watch that the likes of Breguet would have been proud. There was something very Marie Antoinette about both the floral theme for the booth (decoration and the model’s dresses) as well as the complication for the main watch on show. Even so, the goodies on offer were as innovative as ever and as with past SIHH with Richard, there was cake for all!



Cake for all came in the form of a new limited edition RM61-01 Yohan Blake, a new limited edition Bubba Watson RM038-01, and metal bracelets for men and women’s watches.
