Amanda Mille, head of clientele at Richard Mille and eldest child of the eponymous brand’s founder, reveals the watchmaker’s feminine side in the delectable new Bonbon collection.
Who better to wax lyrical about Richard Mille’s latest series of ladies timepieces than the watch manufacturer’s own daughter, Amanda Mille? As head of clientele at Richard Mille, Amanda is well-versed in the tastes of the female watch market, which has been instrumental in feminising some of the house’s creations. “I’ve been very lucky to get their amazing feedback about what they want from a timepiece,” she says. “And this is that they didn’t want a watch to lose any of its technicity— but that, until now, colour had definitely been missing.”
Enter Richard Mille’s Bonbon collection, the latest line unveiled at this year’s Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in January. Playful aesthetics meet haute horology with six candy-adorned Fruit models replete with eye-popping colours on Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT cases, and four Sweets pieces in two-tone ceramic cases decorated with either grand feu enamel or black-chromed titanium confections. The model of exclusive 10-piece collection is produced in a limited edition of 30 pieces and each encases a highly complicated, no-nonsense Richard Mille movement.
