For two decades Richard Mille has championed a vision of fine watchmaking dedicated entirely to women. As the year draws to a close the Swiss brand highlights a universe defined by strength and character with a celebration of those who share its bold spirit. These timepieces transcend mere trends to express unique identities through diamond-paved dials and ornamental stones ranging from onyx to jasper and mother-of-pearl. The collection explores new realms of imagination where creative freedom reigns supreme and nothing stands in the way of technical mastery.

At the heart of this feminine universe sit the RM 037 and RM 07-01 which embody the very essence of the Richard Mille ethos. They are contemporary yet timeless companions that transition effortlessly from everyday life to the most elegant moments to enhance every silhouette. The sophistication of their in-house automatic movements reflects an exceptional technical mastery that is further enhanced by delicate hand-finished details. While some models feature diamond settings designed to enhance their refinement the eye is drawn to the brilliance of subtle combinations involving gold or ceramic.

Innovation takes center stage in the Intergalactic collection where the use of technical materials presents new challenges for gem-setting. The RM 07-01 Starry Night offers a mesmerizing galaxy of stars where 181 diamonds of varying shapes and sizes are individually embedded into Carbon TPT using hand-polished gold prongs. It is a technical feat achieved through specialized expertise that results in a captivating constellation set against a black sky.

The holiday showcase includes four gem-set timepieces that display a diversity as radical as it is precious. The RM 037 in red gold contrasts the poetry of a snow-set diamond pavé with the mechanical might of the CRMA1 automatic calibre.

Meanwhile the RM 07-01 in white gold features a diamond-set gourmette bracelet that elegantly extends the lines of the case while being accented with touches of red gold.

For those seeking a tone-on-tone effect the version in white gold with a baguette setting is enhanced by the anthracite finishes of the CRMA2 automatic movement. From the boldness of the Bonbon collection to the power of the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport the Richard Mille feminine universe remains one that is constantly evolving.
