Richard Mille RM 07-01 Automatic Coloured Ceramics

Get ready for summer to become an all-year state of mind with Richard Mille’s latest collection: the RM 07-01 Coloured Ceramics. At its core, the collection borrows inspiration from the 1980s Italian art and architecture movement Memphis Design, while underpinned by the fundamental Richard Mille trademarks of performance, technicity and innovation.

‘I find Memphis Design particularly fascinating in its diversity and freedom,’ says Cécile Guenat, Creative and Development Director at Richard Mille. ‘The creator’s goal at the time was to escape the strictures of Modernist aesthetics and they were pioneers in the use of all types of materials through their designs. At the heart of the design process for this collection was the idea of juxtaposing colours in materials. Then we enriched this work by weaving inside the ancient craft of guillochage. This creates a symbiosis of the ultra-modern and the traditional in watchmaking.’
