Richard Mille RM 038


Richard Mille really swings to win - & the brand has long realized that nice strategic partnerships are great for business. Brands like Rolex & Tag Heuer have long since proved that working with golfers is a nice suggestion. Richard Mille now finds the right man for them. Speaking with Mr. Mille himself, you learn that in choosing people to work with, taking in to consideration their character & demeanor is as important as their performance. Choosing to place a watch on Bubba Watson had a lot to do with Richard's respect for the self-taught Floridian golfer. huge in stature & with a congenial Southern nickname, Mr. Watson was a sensible choice.

via Bornrich

artdutemps2


Here is a clock with a mind and heart of its own. The Art du Temps’ mechanical square plates beat with each passing second to enthrall you with its smart design. A elementary voice inquiry about the time, and the Art du Temps unfolds itself to reveal a digital display beneath. Designed by illi and Julien Ado for Designby8, the clock’s squares randomly move up and down to indicate the passing of the seconds when in passive mode.

Swiss made and 100 percent mechanical, the Art du Temps is not a mere idea but is to be manufactured and made obtainable for purchase. Innovation and cutting-edge expertise never come cheap, and thus this uber-cool piece of equipment is slated to set you back by about 90,000 Swiss Francs (approx $95,000) in case you choose to indulge yourself.
