Richard Mille Talks Planes, Watches and Automobiles

It’s plain to see Richard Mille’s passion for performance in the men that inspire his timepieces, including tennis champ Rafael Nadal and Ferrari F1 racer Felipe Massa.

So it’s not surprise that his garage—filled with autos ranging from Ferraris to Porsches and beyond—is parallel to his watch collection. The further similarities are apparent: both his cars and his watches are innovative, light and exceed expectations of the most discerning wrists and drivers.

“I love cars, aircraft, and watches,” said Mille. “There are so many similarities.”

With that, Mille appropriately announces that his next piece is a vision from above. The RM 039 Aviation E6-B Flyback features a multi-tasking bezel that can calculate flight times, wind correction and even fuel burn.
