Some wonderful work by watch designer Richard Mille.
Friends of futuristic haute horlogerie will be familiar with Richard Mille. The watch-industry-consultant-turned-designer is the real king of high tech grand complication limited edition pieces (so how nicely that just rolls of the tongue?) and has quickly grown popular among your assorted sheiks, sultans and even the king of Spain. James himself was able to have a quick look on a fine example the other week, and it was truly a sight to behold. Through the creative use of materials not commonly associated with watchmaking (nano and carbon fibers to name a few) and drool-inducing tourbillions, split second chronographs etcetera, Richard Mille occupies an almost ridiculous wrist presence. – From James List
