A growing number of watch brands are seeking to move away from third parties to instead sell direct to consumers. Retailers will have to reinvent themselves.

There is no other women's motorsport event like it: the Richard Mille Rallye des Princesses has completed its 20th edition after 1,700 kilometres through beautiful French countryside.

Richard Mille has unveiled a 200-component bracelet in Carbon TPT® and titanium weighing just 29 grams. Thirteen months in development, it makes its debut on the RM 07-01 Ladies.
