RICHARD MILLE JOINED FORCES ONCE AGAIN WITH GALERIE PERROTIN FOR THE SECOND ART BASEL HONG KONG

Richard Mille and the Galerie Perrotin marked the occasion of the second edition of Art Basel Hong Kong – a week devoted to art and contemplation.

Galerie Perrotin is one of the world’s finest art galleries and on 15th May, around 500 guests were invited to the celebrations. Guests included collectors and artists of international stature, Pansy Catalina Ho Chiu-king, listed as one of the Forbes Asia’s 50 Power Businesswomen, Hong Kong entertainment entrepreneur Gilbert Yeung Kei-lung, Michelle Cheng-Chan and Alan Chan, also came to celebrate with Emmanuel Perrotin. What could be, more natural and obvious than this collaboration between the two brands, each as passionate as the other about contemporary art and architecture, and both driven by the same constant need to cross the boundaries of creation and fashion.

The Dragon-i Club, a favourite lounge bar among Hong Kong‘s in-crowd, hosted both the evening event and the temporary gallery dedicated to the guest of honour. Japanese artist Azuma Makoto transformed the Club into a mysterious, wonderful jungle with his famous botanical installations, named as The Lost Eden, with chandeliers made of plants illuminated floral and plants sculptures far removed from the world of conventional flower arrangements, giving clients and collectors alike a chance to discover the extraordinary world of this floral designer.

During the event, Richard Mille presented his new collection for women. This original reinterpretation of nature coincided perfectly with the watchmaking vision of Richard Mille, who has set his sights on even greater creativity in his innovations, while maintaining the Brand’s sophisticated, elegant and perfectly crafted approach. 

The guests were able to discover the new RM 07-01, the RM 19-01 Tourbillon designed by the famous American actress Natalie Portman, and the RM 51-01 Phoenix Michelle Yeoh – the second piece created in collaboration with the Malaysian actress in homage to her film Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2.
