Catalogue Note

Richard Mille There is a certain style that is undeniably and unmistakably defined by Richard Mille. Founded in 1999 and launched in 2001 the brand has become synonymous with using the highest quality materials, directly inspired by cutting edge technology used in the aerospace and automotive industries. Often favoring a tonneau case Mille specializes in making complicated and durable watches, at all times accommodating the lives of those who are at the very top of their game.

As such it is no surprised that it has remained closely linked to Formula One, a relationship to which some of the following lots are a testament. Interestingly the brand has also taken a foray into the world of tennis, and to this day their watches adorn the wrist of Rapha Nadal, the model he sports bearing his name in fact. The following lots encompass all of the characteristics that lovers of Mille have come to know and love.

Richard Mille腕錶風格強烈,自成一家。品牌成立於1999年,並於2001年推出第一枚腕錶。他們堅持使用最高規格的物料,並從航空航天和汽車業等尖端科技汲取靈感。Richard Mille偏愛酒桶形錶殼,專門製造耐用且功能複雜的腕錶,為各行各業的精英全天候護航。

從以下拍品可見,品牌與一級方程式賽車關係密切,並非意料之外。品牌甚至涉足網壇,成為球手拿度(Rapha Nadal)的腕上之物,以自己的名字起名曾佩戴的錶款。以下的腕錶囊括Richard Mille愛好者熟悉並鍾愛的所有元素。

Richard Mille has made composites one of the new standards in watchmaking. In collaboration with North Thin Ply Technology, Richard Mille manufactured the present RM011 with Carbon TPT that is commonly used in aerospace technology. This particular form of carbon fibre reinforced polymer is extremely lightweight and offers superior durability due to its construction. The carbon also gives the watch a fine grain texture due to the multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by dividing the carbon fibres.

Launched to commemorate the opening of the new Richard Mille boutique in Singapore, the present RM011 flyback chronograph wristwatch was available in Asian boutiques only. The watch features a bright shade of blue and red that is particularly striking against the white carbon case. Limited to 50 pieces only, the present watch is complete with warranty and presentation box.
