The new 150 m2 boutique is the second store (after the Grand Hyatt Singapore boutique) to adopt the new RM showroom concept with brighter colours and subtle lighting. «Just as my watches are efficient and uncompromising, no details have been spared in the architecture and purveying of the new Richard Mille boutique experience», explains Richard Mille.
Two entrances open onto the RM world. The first offers a glimpse of a huge glass display case engraved with a three-dimensional Richard Mille watch. The second, on an exterior facade, features four integrated curved display cases and a spectacular sculpture by aeronautics experts evoking the mechanisms of the brand’s timepieces. This “new generation” boutique also include a watchmaker’s workshop made entirely of glass.
The inaugural evening began with the traditional ribbon-cutting by Richard Mille, Dave Tan, CEO of Richard Mille Asia, and the famous actress Michelle Yeoh. The 200 guests were then invited to admire a selection of watches presented to the public for the very first time, including the RM 022 All Gray Carbon (a limited edition of 5 pieces only available in Asia) and the RM 030 Black Carbon (a limited edition of 50 pieces, engraved with the words “Asia Boutique Exclusive” on the back and created only for the RM boutiques in Singapore and Malaysia), not forgetting the RM 11-01 Roberto Mancini and the RM 39-01 Aviation.
Finally, music took centre stage at the “Richard Mille Jazz Supper Club” night, featuring Yannick Bovy, a hugely talented new Belgian singer, and DJ Patricia K. The next day, on Saturday 18 May, Richard Mille’s guests met for lunch and a pétanque competition in the gardens of the Majestic Hotel, where the atmosphere was warm and relaxed.
