The History Of Richard Mille Watches

Since 1999, the Richard Mille collection has been a champion of high quality designer watches. After working with a handful of different watch manufacturers within the sector, Richard Mille decided to venture out by starting his own watch business. With the help and investment of his long-time friend Dominique Guenat, Mille continues to craft the impressive timepieces that are known and loved today.

Richard Mille Watch Models

Despite being a fairly new brand in the horology world, Richard Mille watches have become firm favourites with watch fans. Already there are a number of models that have become highly sought after including the Skull Watch and the See Through Watch.

Richard Mille Skull Watch

Also known as the RM052, the Skull Watch has become incredibly popular with Richard Mille fans, due to its innovative design of a skull shape within the mechanical elements of the timepiece. The bridges and baseplate of the design are produced to create a grade 5 titanium skull within the watch, with the upper and lower jaws being used to hold the ruby stone of the tourbillon cage. These elements in conjunction with a quirky design, helped the Skull Watch gain many fans within the horology world.

Richard Mille RM11 Watch

Referred to as the Automatic Flyback Chronograph, the RM11 watch became immensely popular with fans largely due to the elements within the watch being clearly visible. Its skeletonised movement, along with striking exterior casing, an impressive 55 hour power reserve, and high performance gear trains, is what sets this Richard Mille watch model apart for collectors and enthusiasts .

Richard Mille RM56-02 Saphire Tourbillon

The Saphire Tourbillon, known as the see-through watch by Richard Mille is both transparent and tough. Also known as the RM56-02, the watch became a firm fan-favourite due to the impressive materials used within the piece, like solid sapphire, along with the uniqueness of being one of the only transparent watches in the market.

Should You Buy a New or Pre-Owned Richard Mille Watch?

To some collectors, brand new watches in the Richard Mille collection may be unattainable due to their price. However, seeking out a favourite model which has had previous owners can be an ideal way of owning a luxury watch for a fraction of the cost.
A pre-owned Richard Mille piece can be a great investment for a collector. Especially since Richard Mille watches are relatively modern and will become much more valuable as they age and become vintage within the market. So investing in a modern Mille timepiece which is pre-owned and highly sought after, can be a great way of investing for the future while being able to enjoy your purchase in the present.

Richard Mille Watches For Him and Her

While many Richard Mille watches can have a more masculine appearance and design, there are stunning pieces that have been specifically designed with female wearers in mind in his collection. Models such as the RM-037 with a white gold skeleton dial and baby blue exterior, for example, offer a more feminine aesthetic. Or the RM 07-01 with a pink ceramic exterior is the perfect example of how a Richard Mille Women’s watch can be stunningly feminine, as well as sturdy.

However, there are some pieces that look more like a Richard Mille men’s watch and are more popular among male collectors. This includes the McLaren Speedtail, with its in-house power reserve system, sapphire glass and titanium casing. Another popular piece among men is the RM023 Cuban Link Bracelet, which pairs sapphire, titanium and rose gold, to create a striking statement piece.
