Catalogue Essay Richard Mille is becoming the master of cutting edge watch manufacturing and selecting the most talented sports personalities in the world to collaborate with. First, the watch community was mesmerised by the Nadal, Baba Watson and now the present lot, the Yohan Blake. Limited to 50 pieces only, the Yohan Blake is one of the most iconic watch designs in recent memory. The watch is unbelievably lightweight and was designed for Yohan Blake, the second fastest man in history and one of the leading athletes of our time. The bridges spanning the movement are designed to evoke the claws of 'The Beast', Yohan Blake's nickname and embodies the colours of his Jamaican homeland. The case is perhaps the most striking elements of this watch. The shape has a thickness and tapering extension between 2 and 5 o'clock, preventing any rubbing of the torque-limiting crown against the wearer's wrist, making it extremely comfortable to wear. The case itself is made from a translucent composite injected with carbon nanotubes, which makes it extremely resistant and is 200 times more resistant than steel, thus making the case incredibly light. The movement itself is very complex and features a manual-winding tourbillon and a 48 hour power reserve. A skeletonized titanium baseplate is used which is a very light, rigid and highly corrosion resistant material. The baseplate and bridges are subject to intensive validation tests to optimize their resistance capacities. Overall, an exceptionally unique, good-looking and complicated lightweight sports watch, which is one of the greatest on the market today.

The brand's revolutionary designs, technical breakthroughs and exceptional hand-finishing excite even the most discriminating collectors, and have positioned Richard Mille alongside the top makers of the modern luxury watch world. Innovative watches, such as the RM 027 Tourbillon, which was the world’s lightest mechanical watch when introduced in 2011, have helped the brand invert the concept of the luxury watch. Key models include the RM 009 Tourbillon cased in Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC), the RM 027-02 Tourbillon made for tennis star Rafael Nadal with a case made from quartz and carbon fiber and the RM 008 split seconds chronograph.
