The Swiss watchmaker is better known for its innovative aesthetics, but now, its focus is on high-precision movements made in-house
In just over two decades, Richard Mille’s eponymous brand has left an indelible mark on the world of modern luxury watchmaking with its distinct aesthetic and inventive use of sports-inspired materials. The Swiss horologist’s rise has been one of the most widely discussed topics among watch enthusiasts.
But Richard Mille deserves attention for more than the products’ appearance; there is also a case to be made for the luxury watchmaker’s technical prowess as a manufacturer of in-house, high-precision movements.
