Richard Mille – RM 35-03
Icon-Icon Opinion :
It’s almost a tradition – the meeting of watchmaker Richard Mille and the player Rafael Nadal around a collaboration that results in a watch, each time more exceptional. For me, collaboration does not mean giving someone a watch and organizing a photo shoot as a public relations exercise,” says Richard Mille. The collaboration has to be real, tangible and feed the vision for the future of watchmaking. That’s why working so closely with Rafael on the creation of new timepieces is so fulfilling,” said Richard Mille
