When you think of speed, several images come to mind. The 1994 movie starring Keanu Reeves, the energetic YouTuber who recently visited our shores, or even how fast your broadband works. But in the context of Singapore, burning rubber on an F1 track is perhaps one of the most immediate and visceral connotations for lovers of the legendary race.

Richard Mille’s latest collaboration watch with the racing giant McLaren timepiece taps on the power and precision associated with attaining remarkable feats of speed. Together, the two created the RM 65-01 Automatic Split-Seconds Chronograph McLaren W1, a tribute to McLaren’s W1 supercar. This masterpiece is not just the marriage of two icons, it pushes the boundaries of innovation and performance, combining McLaren’s automotive legacy with Richard Mille’s passion for technicity.
