Richard Mille zooms in on the street art

This contemporary artist, who has made a name for himself in the world of graffiti, brings his graphic style to the very heart of the watch. More than a simple timepiece, the model has become a vehicle for creativity and inspiration.

Following a year of research, the technique used by Kongo was adapted to the world of watchmaking. The bright colour palette adheres perfectly to titanium components and withstands assembly and disassembly. The production of stencils for letters cut from fine plaques of microscopic metal has allowed designs to be created that are barely visible to the naked eye and practically impossible to craft by hand.

Whatever the chosen process, each component has been dressed in the colours of the man they call Mr Colorful.
