new Limited Edition Richard Mille Watch For Women.
Richard Mille first met actress Michelle Yeoh through a mutual friend, Jean Todt. However, it was because of their mutual passion for watches that they became closer and decided to collaborate professionally.
Richard Mille was impressed by her artistic talents, her knowledge and understanding of women’s tastes and her natural sense of luxury. He, therefore, suggested to her that she create and design a specific women’s watch.
Michelle Yeoh, enthusiastic about becoming involved in the project, launched herself into the adventure about a year ago, alongside Mélanie Treton-Monceyron, artistic director of Richard Mille. The watch they had in mind had to be light, elegant, romantic and charged with positive feelings. Both women found inspiration in the symbol of the phoenix, a legendary bird they found fascinating.
According to Chinese legend, the phoenix (or Feng-Huang) was the Empress’s emblem and known for being the kindest of birds. Its beauty was unsurpassed and its song one of the most beautiful. Having survived several centuries, the phoenix would eventually burn into extinction only to rise again from the ashes. Symbol of grace, feminine beauty and strength, the body of the phoenix represents the five human qualities: its head, virtue; its wings, duty; its back, justice; its chest, goodwill and its belly, reliability.
Projected into the world of haute horlogerie, the phoenix enters a timeless dimension. Positioned in the RM 051, the phoenix is adorned with diamonds and encapsulates the movement in harmony with the barrel, power reserve and tourbillon. Poetry and fascination are transcended from this highly complex and elegant work of art.
Another attribute of the RM 051 is its black onyx baseplate, a gemstone known for its properties in absorbing negative energy and producing emotional stability as well as inspiration.
The RM 051, created by Michelle Yeoh and Mélanie Treton-Monceyron, is designed for women looking for a highly technical performance timepiece within a very sophisticated package.
