Richard Mille, sport and golf:

Passionate about precision mechanics, Richard Mille founded his watch brand in 2001.

“I am looking for difficulty and I want to go beyond the stage of the traditional marketing approach. All our partners wear their watches during competitions because they are extreme products for extreme conditions. It is also a means of testing, thanks to this life-size laboratory, the resistance capacity of watches, their performance and of course their comfort in the face of the constraints of each discipline. "

In recent years Felipe Massa, Rafael Nadal, Pablo Mac Donough, Yohan Blake, Sébastien Loeb, Romain Grosjean, Alexis Pinturault have joined the RM Family. Golf is no exception to the rule since in 2011 Bubba Watson becomes a partner and will be followed by the Italian Diana Luna and the American Cristie Kerr in the team of professional golfers.
