The Richard Mille SA brand takes its name from one of its founders, Frenchman Richard Mille, who worked in the world of horology for Matra since the 1970s, which was later absorbed by Finhor. Mille came to have a managerial role, however, his taste for watchmaking led him to create his own brand alongside Dominique Guenat.
And he did it. Richard Mille was disruptive since his first model came out in 2001: the RM 001 Tourbillon, a watch with which he showed the complications of his movement, with a futuristic, ostentatious appearance. A piece that immediately catches the eye. And that was also his personal brand.
