Richard Mille is equally capable of creating technical, high-performance pieces for men and crafting exquisitely feminine wristwatches defined by a distinctive, bold elegance.
For twenty years, Richard Mille has been expressing its vision of fine watchmaking dedicated to women, exploring new realms of imagination and technical mastery.
The pursuit of expressiveness is reaffirmed year after year through a wide range of innovative interpretations.
Contemporary, technical, and timeless, the RM 037 and RM 07-01 embody the essence of the Richard Mille aesthetic. Four new gem-set timepieces in these lines offer a mix of bold styles and precious materials.
Their tonneau-shaped cases with curved lines and the skeletonised architecture of their titanium movements provide an ideal foundation for sophisticated variations.
RM 037 in red gold with snow setting
This version contrasts the poetic effect of a snow-set diamond pavé with the contemporary mechanics of the CRMA1 automatic calibre.
RM 07-01 Starry Night – Intergalactic collection
Set into gold prongs embedded within a black Carbon TPT background, 181 diamonds of varying shapes and sizes form a constellation-inspired composition.
RM 07-01 in white gold with snow setting on a diamond-set gourmette bracelet
Presented on a gourmette bracelet extending the lines of the white gold case, this jewellery watch features a snow-set diamond decoration accented with touches of red gold.
RM 07-01 in white gold with baguette setting
This version combines white gold with a baguette-set diamond pavé, creating a refined tone-on-tone effect enhanced by the anthracite finishes of the CRMA2 automatic movement.
The in-house automatic movements underscore the brand’s technical expertise, complemented by carefully executed hand-finishing.
Each model features a diamond-paved dial incorporating ornamental materials such as onyx, jasper, mother-of-pearl, fully-set surfaces, or Carbon TPT.
Here, gem-setting is not used as decoration alone, but as a means of enhancing balance and visual coherence. Combined with gold, ceramic, or Carbon TPT, these techniques allow for a wide range of expressive possibilities.
Working with advanced technical materials presents specific challenges for gem-setting. In the Intergalactic collection, diamonds set into Carbon TPT bezels and dials demonstrate a high level of specialised expertise and adapted craftsmanship.
In the RM 07-01 Starry Night, each of the 181 diamonds is individually selected, mounted in hand-polished gold prongs, and then embedded into the Carbon TPT surface.
These models exemplify the bold elegance of the Richard Mille Ladies Collection, combining precious metals, coloured ceramics, and Carbon TPT with avant-garde gem-setting.
While they represent important milestones, the women’s collections extend well beyond these references.
From the playful Bonbon collection to the technical orientation of the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport, and the symbolic dimension of the Talisman line—introducing the brand’s first in-house automatic tourbillon calibre—the Richard Mille feminine universe continues to evolve along multiple creative paths. richardmille.com
