At the turn of the millennium, RICHARD MILLE was born, breaking the dullness of the traditional watch field and bringing too many surprises and surprises. But at the beginning, we thought that RICHARD MILLE was specially designed for men. It has a unique and tough appearance, a complex and precise mechanical structure, and breakthrough and experimental use of materials, aiming to create a Formula One watch on the wrist.

But we understood it wrong. RICHARD MILLE’s world has not ignored women’s desire, it just needs time to brew. Five years after the brand was founded, the brand's first women's watch made its debut, making female consumers exclaim that all the waiting was worth it. After that, exquisite and elegant women’s watches appeared one after another, praising women’s beauty, elegance and strength. This has also attracted many outstanding women to join the RICHARD MILLE family and become close friends of the brand. They are professional drivers on the high-speed track, top "masters" of green swings, track and field warriors who constantly surpass themselves, international superstars with strong skills, and leaping knights on the equestrian field...

. Why is it favored by so many women? Because RICHARD MILLE's women's watches have never been an appendage of men's watches - they should be reduced in size, inlaid with some diamonds and colored gems, and added with a brightly colored strap , and they should become women's watches. From the first day of its launch, RICHARD MILLE's women's watches have been so distinctive and distinctive that they will never succumb to the role of a supporting role or a vase. They not only have to compete with the brand's men's watches, but also stand out from the many vague women's watches on the market.

Is this flattery? Obviously not, let’s give some clear examples.

RM 07-01 women's watch is equipped with the brand's second independent movement

. In 2012, the brand launched its first independent movement CRMA1. This is an self-winding movement with central hour and minute hands, oversized date display and function selector. It is configured in the RM 037 women's watch. If the first movement was made for a women’s watch, then the second independent movement should be a men’s watch! The result is not the same. The brand’s second independent movement CRMA2, launched in 2014, is still configured in the RM 07-01 women’s watch. Forget it, after all, RICHARD MILLE, which has always focused on tourbillons, it’s finally the turn of men’s watches to launch the first brand-independent tourbillon movement! The results were unexpected. In 2018, when the brand launched its first independent skeleton tourbillon movement CRMT1, it was still installed on the women’s watch RM 71-01.

At this point, no one should doubt RICHARD MILLE’s sincerity and courage in the field of women’s watches. In particular, these women's watches and movements all inherit the orthodox genes of RICHARD MILLE and will never lower the standards just because the women's watches are smaller in size - they have an ergonomic barrel-shaped case, assembled with grade 5 titanium alloy spline screws; there is no dial, and the movement full of geometric beauty is directly exposed to the viewer; in addition to being made of precious metal , RICHARD MILLE is proud of titanium alloy, colored ceramics, sapphire crystal, Carbon TPT® carbon fiber and Quartz TPT® quartz carbon fiber also show their style on women's wrists.

Why does RICHARD MILLE attach so much importance to women’s watches? Cécile Guenat, the brand’s creative and development director, has to be mentioned.

Cécile Guenat graduated from the Geneva School of Art and Design. He was originally well-known in the jewelry design industry, and RICHARD MILLE's boldness and innovation in watches attracted her to join.The Bonbon Collection, the first collaborative work, was unveiled at the Geneva Haute Horlogerie Salon in 2018. It shocked everyone and brought a sweet and soft side to the brand full of powerful black technology. The RM 71-01 Talisman self-winding women's tourbillon watch, which they collaborated with again, was inspired by the carved masks of African tribes decorative art. It has a magical aura that makes people unable to look away. The latest result of the cooperation is the RM 07-01 Intergalactic galaxy watch, which was launched not long ago.

RM 07-01 Intergalactic Galaxy Watch

These four watches made of Carbon TPT® carbon fiber material are inlaid with diamonds and red gold studs to interpret the magnificent scene of the Big Bang. Cécile Guenat said: "It all started with the scene of stars exploding in the dark. We wanted to rethink our gem setting process and combine various elements in a strong way."

is a very whimsical idea, and the results are quite successful. Each of the four watches presents different visual effects: the extraordinarily shining gold prongs of the Dark Night watch seem to herald the birth of countless stars; the Starry with Carbon TPT® carbon fiber strap The Night starry night watch and the Bright Night watch with a middle case made of micro-blasted 5N red gold. The diamonds on both watches are dazzling and eye-catching; finally, the Misty is decorated with 5N red gold columns. The Night watch outlines the warm light shining on the sky.

I often say that creativity can be as wild as you like, but to implement it, you need solid technology. You must know that carbon fiber has extremely high hardness. To inlay diamonds and metals on such a tough material, a CNC machine tool with diamond drill bit must be used to process the holes for installing the prongs, which is quite difficult. In the past, I heard many brands brag about how difficult and powerful it is to set diamonds on rubber, ceramics, carbon fiber, and sapphire crystals. I always thought, why bother? Why do we have to combine these different materials? But after seeing the RM 07-01 Intergalactic galaxy watch, I still feel that the combination is very successful. The irregular corrugated luster of Carbon TPT® carbon fiber black matte sets off the warm red gold and crystal diamonds. The light and dark shine, hard and soft, very special and beautiful.

As the brand's classic women's watch, RM 07-01 has the simplest time and minute indication function, and its case is also the most elegant among the brand’s barrel-shaped watches. But precisely because of its simplicity, it has become a best-selling and long-selling style, and the brand has also created various variations for it - materials include precious metals, ceramics, carbon fiber, and sapphire crystal; straps have rubber, carbon fiber, and gold chains; coupled with various diamond inlays and various colors, it has become a family with extremely rich choices. Although the function of

is simple, the technology is unambiguous. Many brand-exclusive patents can be seen on RM 07-01. It is equipped with a hollow self-winding CRMA2 independent movement specially designed for RM 07-01, with a power reserve of 50 hours. In order to increase the strength, the base plate and bridge plate of the movement are made of fifth-grade titanium alloy that has been frosted and plasma treated. The two-way automatic winding system is equipped with ceramic ball bearings. The variable geometry automatic rotor can adjust the winding strength of the mainspring according to the wearer's habits.

The automatic oscillating weight can adjust the winding strength of the mainspring according to the wearer’s habits.

Advanced from RM 07-01, let’s take a look at RM 037, which is the aforementioned watch equipped with the brand’s first independent movement CRMA1. In addition to the central hour and minute hands, there is an oversized date display at 12 o'clock on the dial, and a function indicator at 3 o'clock, which are adjusted by buttons at 11 o'clock and 4 o'clock on the case respectively.

Explain the function indicator. The crown of a watch sometimes has several gears. It is quite troublesome to remember which gear is for winding, which gear is for adjusting the time or date, which gear is for adjusting the first time zone or the second time zone...The solution that RICHARD MILLE came up with is like a car's gear lever. As long as the crown is pulled out, the function indicator can display the current mode. W represents winding, D represents date setting, and H represents time setting. It is a very considerate design.

The RM 037 watch is made of Gold Carbon TPT® gold carbon fiber composite material

Similarly, the brand has been RM for many years The 037 watch comes with different materials, colors, straps, inlaid decorations and other choices. Let’s pay special attention to the style with a gold chain, because this gold chain was specially developed by the brand for women’s watches and was released in 2014. In addition, in 2015, the Open Link chain strap was launched.

The time and energy invested in designing this chain strap far exceeded that of conceiving the entire movement and case. Mr. Richard Mille even said that the development process almost drove him crazy! In order to be comfortable to wear and make the bracelet feel like a second layer of skin, all functional design details are devoted to it and will never be sloppy. He said: "The human body is full of delicate curves everywhere. I hope that the shape of women's watch cases can also perfectly adhere to those lines through all-round small details."

The extremely elegant chain strap is specially designed for women's watches

Comfortable, naturally including many considerations for lightness, flexibility, and hypoallergy. In addition, in order to visually highlight the perfect integration of the case and bracelet, the integration between the bracelet and the case is very important. The chain belt is composed of dozens of links, and the production process requires up to 65 hours of programming and planning, followed by several hours of processing. Then, each link will be micro-sandblasted, brushed and mirror-polished. After forming the chain belt, it will be finished by hand. Such extremely elegant and exquisite chain straps are only available for two women's watches, RM 07-01 and RM 037, which shows that RICHARD MILLE pays attention to female wearers.

Over the years, RICHARD MILLE has provided ladies with not only RM 07-01 and RM 037 watches, but also many beautiful women’s watch styles. But think about it, women who are obsessed with RICHARD MILLE do not only like those elegant, gorgeous and sparkling styles. What they are obsessed with is the bold, avant-garde and unique style emphasized by the brand. They wear all RICHARD MILLE watches regardless of gender. Because this is a group of people who know how to "drive" their own lives, do what they want to be, and not be influenced by the world.

models of

RM 72-01 Lifestyle independent movement chronographs of different materials and colors,

are titanium alloy, red gold, white ceramic, black ceramic.

For example, this RM 72-01 Lifestyle independent movement chronograph is very popular among women. The watch is equipped with the brand's first self-developed chronograph movement, which has a flyback chronograph function. The movement also has an exclusive patent, called the "oscillating pinion double meshing mechanism", which separates the connection operation of the minute wheel and the hour wheel from the second wheel. It sounds complicated, so I won't mention it. All you need to know is that this design can make the thickness of the watch thinner. Second, it can minimize the power loss when starting the chronograph. No matter how long the chronograph function is enabled, it can provide a 50-hour power reserve.

RM 72-01 The Lifestyle independent movement chronograph diamond-set

watch was launched in red gold and grade 5 titanium alloy versions in 2020. Later, white and black ceramic versions were launched, and recently a white gold case was launched. The diamond-encrusted model also provides three different versions of the diamond inlay process - the step-cut diamond watch, the closely arranged diamonds are luxurious and full of visual tension; the round diamond-encrusted watch is low-key and elegant without losing its noble temperament; the snowflake-inlaid watch shows a crystal clear and gentle beauty.

Although it is set with brilliant and dazzling diamonds, this watch is actually suitable for both men and women. In the past, when the trend of big watches just started, it was popular among female friends to "wear their boyfriend's watch".But now, the female watch owners of RICHARD MILLE, what you should worry about is that your boyfriend is trying to steal your watch!
