A Racing Machine On the Wrist – Richard Mille

Founded in 1999 by Richard Mille and Dominique Guenat, Richard Mille is renowned for its innovative approach to watchmaking. The brand debuted its first timepiece, the RM 001 Tourbillon, in 2001, setting a new standard in luxury watches with its use of cutting-edge materials like carbon nanofiber and a strikingly modern design. Known for its “racing machine on the wrist” concept, Richard Mille watches are celebrated for their durability, precision, and avant-garde aesthetics.

Richard Mille’s collaborations with sports figures like Rafael Nadal and Felipe Massa highlight the brand’s commitment to creating lightweight, shock-resistant watches designed to withstand extreme conditions. The RM 27-02, for instance, features a skeletonized unibody baseplate inspired by racing car chassis, enhancing rigidity and impact resistance
