  • Catalogue Essay

    Founded in 1999 upon the three crucial elements of technical innovation, artistry and culture of fine watchmaking, Richard Mille has become a dominant player of the watch industry. The first Richard Mille watch, RM001, was launched in 2001. Since then, the brand enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity thanks to their avant-garde and highly recognizable design and the inclusion into watchmaking of materials and techniques borrowed from other field such as car racing and aeronautics. It is today one of the most appreciated and sought-after independent brands.

    RM11-03 is the latest evolution to the highly successfully model when it was launch in 2007 which marked a turning point in the history for the brand.

  • Artist Biography

    Richard Mille

    Swiss • 1999

    Established in 1999, Richard Mille's ultra-modern timepieces combine cutting-edge materials from high performance worlds such as Formula 1 racecars with high-end traditional watchmaking. The brand's revolutionary designs, technical breakthroughs and exceptional hand-finishing excite even the most discriminating collectors, and have positioned Richard Mille alongside the top makers of the modern luxury watch world.

    Innovative watches, such as the RM 027 Tourbillon, which was the world’s lightest mechanical watch when introduced in 2011, have helped the brand invert the concept of the luxury watch. Key models include the RM 009 Tourbillon cased in Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC), the RM 027-02 Tourbillon made for tennis star Rafael Nadal with a case made from quartz and carbon fiber and the RM 008 split seconds chronograph.
