Richard Mille introduces RM 07-01 Coloured Ceramics

Get ready for summer to become an all-year state of mind with Richard Mille’s latest collection: the RM 07-01 Coloured Ceramics. At its core, the collection borrows inspiration from the 1980s Italian art and architecture movement Memphis Design, while underpinned by the fundamental Richard Mille trademarks of performance, technicity and innovation. This collection is available in three summer-derived colours, blush pink, lavender and powder blue TZP ceramics. The Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal (TZP) ceramic used for the bezel and caseback is renowned for its lightness, strength and colour-retention properties. Even over long periods of time, the hue of this sophisticated material remains perfectly balanced and unfaded, looking fresh as the day it was produced.

 

Introducing BR 05 Chrono Green Steel by Bell & Ross

The green dial on the new BR 05 Chrono Green Steel brings a breath of fresh air to the urban landscape. The dial’s satin green upgrades the aesthetics of sports and city watches. The colour of luck, green is above all the symbol of nature and hope. Wide-reaching inspiration, for a watch that meets the expectations of a generation aspiring to renewal and change. To manifest the urban, modern spirit of the new BR 05 Chrono Green Steel, it seemed only natural to carve the parts making up the complex assembly of the 42mm diameter case out of stainless steel, with its “rounded square” design at the core of Bell & Ross style. Accentuating thickness, emphasising elegant sophistication, and expressing the importance of the lights game as in a contemporary city, the satin-brushed surfaces are perfectly flat, while the bevels are polished.
