Richard Mille's watches aren't just watches. It's right there in the brand's tagline: to wear a Richard Mille is to wear "a racing machine on the wrist." It's not only because they cost as much as actual cars, but because they are well-engineered, high-performance tickers inspired by high-octane racing events, and worn by championship-winning wheelmen on the circuits of the world's most exhilarating races. But there is actually a lot more to the brand than this shared pursuit of wheels and gears.
Richard Mille also embraces his other passions apart from racing. These range from the world of sports to lifestyle, paired with extreme watch engineering. The sport segment is self-evident and is often top of mind. In this category, watches are designed for (and sometimes by) sporting stars. Here you'll find materials like the lightweight and strong TitaCarb, and movements that can withstand over 500 g's of acceleration. The idea of wearing a mechanical watch-let alone one with a tourbillon-while playing golf or tennis was laughably inconceivable until watches like the RM 038 Bubba Watson and the RM 027 Rafael Nadal showed up on the green and the court.
The realm of extreme watch engineering is where Richard Mille goes to break some horological boundaries. It's where you'll find the RM UP-01 Ferrari, which broke the record for the world's flattest watch with a thickness of just 1.75mm, the complicated RM 62-01 with its novel vibrating alarm function, and the RM 031 High Performance Chronometer, equipped with a special escapement that gives the movement a chronometric variation of less than 30 seconds a month.
