That Monsieur Richard Mille loves cars is no secret. His garage houses some of the world’s most covetable racing machines, such as the 1966 M2B, Bruce McLaren’s first Formula One car; the Ferrari 312B that won the 1970 Italian Grand Prix; and a 1970s Porsche 917. His eponymous watch brand has also been an avid supporter of motorsports, with partners including Le Mans Classic, McLaren and numerous Formula One drivers.
Reinforcing its commitment to auto racing and performance, the independent watchmaker established its own racing team last year. For its latest line-up, the brand has recruited endurance driver Charles Milesi, rally legend Sébastian Ogier, and Lilou Wadoux, who is the first woman to win in the Alpine Elf Europa Cup series.
It seems inevitable, then, that Richard Mille would join hands with Ferrari. Both brands stand at the pinnacle of their fields and share an obsession with precision, reliability and innovation. Their multi-year partnership, which began in August 2021, spans Formula One, World Endurance Championship programmes, Competizioni GT, Ferrari Driver Academy, the renowned Ferrari Challenge, as well as a series of Richard Mille timepieces sporting the famous Prancing Horse logo.
