Whether you’re at work, an evening soirée, or a glamorous fashion show, there is never a bad time to throw on a statement timepiece to complete your look. Especially when you’re dressed in headto-toe black, it’s all about having the right accessory to pull your outfit together. That’s how you curate looks that are perpetually chic and forever in style. Although truth be told, accessorising is an art desired by many yet mastered by few. And one style staple you can’t go wrong with—that marries red-carpet glamour with technical finesse—is a snow-set Richard Mille timepiece.
Snow-setting is one of many gem-setting techniques and the go-to style for Richard Mille simply because it lends an unrivalled, opulent quality to its timepieces, making them reminiscent of a wintry wonderland. With a soft spot for and a mastery of this technique, Richard Mille is one of the few brands pushing the boundaries and stretching the possibilities of snow-setting in luxury haute horlogerie. Snow-setting gets its unique shimmer, which evokes the nuances of freshly fallen snow, when gemstones of different sizes are combined. Blanketing the entire timepiece, these randomly sized stones catch the light in their own directions, sparking off a reflective dance like flashes of snowflakes in the sun.
The manufacture’s feminine timepieces, such as the now-iconic RM 07-01 and the RM 037, are a perfect fit to this beautiful setting thanks to their instantly recognisable cases which come with luxurious surfaces for the precious gem-setting.
