  • Catalogue Essay

    With tremendous innovation in micro engineering and developments of new materials, Richard Mille has clearly positioned themselves in the highest grid of horology. Since the foundation in 1999, the brand has enjoyed rather successful partnerships with Formula 1 drivers and teams as well as acclaimed athletes such as Rafael Nadal and trophy loaded manager, Roberto Mancini.

    The RM011 was first introduced in 2008, as the firm’s iconic chronograph model featuring an oversized digital date display on a skeletonized dial. Since its initial launch, the reference has developed a cult following and an iconic status as one of the brands most important and sought after models. Traditionally encased in titanium, the model has seen a drastic change in aesthetics and case material for enhanced durability and performance. The latest variant of the model was the RM11-03 featuring NTPT forged carbon cases, launched in 2018 collaborated with Mclaren F1 team.

    The present example is a RM011 Felipe Masa in pink gold and was only available from the Richard Mille boutique. With a beautiful combination between the case material along with its harmoniously matching dial aesthetics, the watch is beautiful and elegant with a sporty twist. Presented in practically unworn condition, it is a fantastic opportunity for lovers of F1 Grand Prix and Richard Mille to acquire a watch to wear on track day.

  • 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.
