Due to their disruptive designs and bold lines, Richard Mille wristwatches give rise to mixed views with enthusiasts from one side — the majority — and some critics from the other.

Here at Time and Watches, we are great fans of Richard Mille timepieces. We believe that even those who profess not to like them for their unconventional style would quickly change their minds if only they had the opportunity to handle, or the privilege to wear, a Richard Mille wristwatch.

Richard Mille apply the techniques and the materials to their watches that are employed in only the most innovative industrial design sectors (think F1 racing cars or airplanes). At the same time they demonstrate complete respect for the Swiss tradition of fine watchmaking, creating extremely complex mechanical movements, assembled and finished by hand.

One thing that greatly impresses us is Richard Mille's capability of creating super-masculine and hyper-sporty watches for men and, at the same time, crafting exquisitely feminine timepieces for Ladies — with both maintaining a clearly recognisable Richard Mille design code.

The Richard Mille RM 71-01 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman is a clear example of what we mean by "exquisite femininity".info: xtime-store

We recently had the pleasure to handle one of the ten variations in this line characterised by a great variety of finishes, precious stones and setting. A true piece of watchmaking and jewellery art, this is also the first Richard Mille watch that features an in-house automatic tourbillon movement.
Last June, we presented the Taslisman line in detail in this article. We have now additional pictures that we are delighted to share with our readers.info: xtime-store
