Richard Mille has recently announced a new watch to celebrate the Winter Olympics in North America. The RM011 DLC Titanium "Amercias WHITE" Limited Edition. There will be 30 pieces available exclusively at authorized dealers in North and South America.
In honor of Richard Mille's favorite F1 racer and friend, Felipe Massa, who survived a terrible F1 accident this year, a 10 piece limited edition RM011 has been created. The Felipe Massa Titanium Black DLC Grand Prix Brazil.
Richard Mille has opened its doors to their flagship store in Beijing. Its new home is located at The Legendale Hotel on Jin Bao Street, where the flagship occupies 260 square meters of space at this platinum 5-star hotel that represents European elegance and luxury in the heart of this capital of the People's Republic of China.
Richard Mille is known for creating exclusive high-tech F1 inspired luxury-sports watches. The new RM10 Titanium Black Skeleton is a perfect example, as it is a blend of sporty design and haute horology. Inside, the RM10 is equipped with an automatic manufacture movement, produced and assembled at the renowned AP Renaud and Papi factory, in Le Locle. Parts of the skeleton movement have been treated with PVD for increased visual appeal and for added performance. Outside, the case is coated with a sporty high-tech black Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating. This coating not only looks great, it makes scratches virtually non-existent.

Richard Mille won control of its reputation as a pioneer, eight years ago, with its two watches RM 001 and RM 002. Unanimously acclaimed by the press and the public, those achievements have pushed the limits of the watch industry, both in design and mechanical inventiveness that the materials used. However, it was only the beginnings of a revolution coming. Indeed, beyond their surprising originality, these two watches opened the way for a new approach to watchmaking that would energize and change the essence of this ancient art. Indeed, models RM 001 and RM 002 have undoubtedly demonstrated that innovative and sophisticated technology can integrate perfectly with the values of rarity, exceptional characteristics and tradition of high watchmaking.

RM 025 Tourbillon Chronograph Diver's Watch
It has finally arrived. The one everyone has been waiting for. After creating watches for the rigors of land, the G-forces of the racetrack as well as the open seas, now the depths of the ocean have been scrutinized by Richard Mille, with his introduction of the RM 025.
This new creation is a watch suitable for the world of diving and the demands of the deep sea. It is unlike any other Richard Mille creation in terms not only of its exterior appearance but also its ability to deal with one of the harshest environments on the Earth without difficulty. Visually the watch breaks with the iconic Richard Mille case, yet this is a change born directly from technical necessity. Water resistance of this kind, 30 atmospheres (300 meters) following ISO 6425 diver's watch norms, is only possible at these depths with a round case shape. However, look closely and what at first glance seems deceptively simple is much more complex...

On 28 September 2008 in Singapore, the world's greatest drivers and cars will challenge in not only Asia's first street race but the first ever night race in FORMULA 1™ history!
Richard Mille is an amateur racer with an unquenchable thirst for speed and power! 'His racing machines for the wrist" are designed with the same aspects for precision, performance, aesthetics and endurance as F1 cars and drivers, Mille's calibres were put to another dimension of rigorous tests when his close friend, Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa began 'test-driving' his watches in 2006.
To celebrate Felipe Massa's inaugural Grand Prix in Singapore, Richard Mille has developed a special edition of RM 011, Its carbon fibre flange around the dial is colored in red and hour indexes in alternate red & white to replicate the colors of the Singapore's national flag. DLC coating on the titanium case further lends a 'night' effect to the watch. To mark his friendship with the F1 driver, "Felipe Massa's 1st Singapore GP' is subtly engraved on the back case.

The new RM020 Tourbillon pocket watch looks amazing, like all Richard Mille timepieces. It will be produced in titanium, with a choice of both front and back bezels in 18ct red gold, white gold or titanium. The RM 020 is the first pocket watch ever created that uses a non-metallic baseplate made of carbon nanofiber, originally used in U.S. Airforce jets. The RM Tourbillon pocket watch works best in the vertical postion and costs $440,000. Read a really good interview with Richard Mille at the International Herald Tribune.
