Design Without Compromise

Combining technological innovation with a strong aesthetic and expert craftsmanship, Richard Mille sets the pace for the modern art of watchmaking

- Richard Mille

With his penchant for constant development and reinvention when it comes to his watches, it is not surprising that French watchmaker Richard Mille continues to raise the bar in terms of both quality and design.

Born and raised in the Var region of Provence, Mille has spent much of his professional life in watchmaking, starting his career as export department manager for the French watch brand Finhor. He eventually became president and CEO of the watchmaking and jewellery departments at Mauboussin before establishing his own firm where he took the craft into the 21st century.
