Richard Mille "This prototype, which was worn by Yohan Blake during the London Olympic Games, created an enormous amount of media attention. It is a unique piece based upon the RM 038 but adapted to Yohan Blake?s specifications. This watch has experienced the joy of the podium and shared the spotlight with the gold and silver medals won by Yohan. It is truly a piece of historic importance." said Richard Mille By placing a tourbillon watch on Yohan Blake's wrist during the Olympic Games- a first in the history of sprinting- the brand was able to test the resilience of this exceptional and unique piece in extreme conditions, assessing its performance and comfort when faced with typical racing constraints. The Richard Mille brand has been a dedicated and unwavering supporter of Only Watch since its creation and chose to donate on this occasion a unique piece full of history which accompanied the great champion in 2012. MANU FACTURIN G Achieving excellence implied setting up a structure capable of fulfilling Richard Mille's needs in term of development. Horometrie Sa was created by Richard Mille and Dominique Guenat, in Les Breuleux, a village close to the watchmaking towns La Chaux-de- Fonds et Le Locle. Founded by the two friends this company forces with Montres Valgine, a company created by Guenat Family more than a century before. Horometrie and Valgine have since combined their efforts and skill base to perfect the production, coordination, maintenance and distribution of Richard Mille all over the world. The new Richard Mille watch cases factory, Proart, opened in April 2013. RM watch cases as well as certain movement components, including baseplates and bridges, will be fashioned on this site which will be a truly exceptional factory for exceptional products.
