Shopping in St Barts Richard Mille watchmakers

The first watch to carry Richard Mille’s name, the RM 001 Tourbillon, launched the millennium, literally as well as figuratively: the year was 2001, and the model marked the beginning of a new era in watchmaking.

Today, the collection’s more than 60 models point resolutely towards the future, while holding steadfast to the time-honored traditions of fine watchmaking. Like that landmark watch, the RM 001, Richard Mille’s success is founded upon three crucial elements: the best in technical innovation, the best of artistry and architecture, the best of the heritage and culture of fine watchmaking with hand finishing. From the very inception of the brand, Richard Mille endeavored to apply the techniques and material found in the most innovative sectors such as in the domains of F1 racing car development and the aerospace industry to watchmaking, with the goal of creating an extreme timepiece, without compromise, without gimmicks.
