RICHARD MILLE - To Sponsor Les Voiles de St-Barth

Richard Mille reinforces his presence on the seas by signing title sponsorship to the St. Barth’s new international sailing regatta, Les Voiles de Saint Barth.

The world’s most beautiful sailing yachts, ranging from classic sail boats to super yachts and multi-hull racers, will convene in St. Barthelemy for a week of competition and conviviality.

Each day, participants will compete on courses that surround this Caribbean island. This new regatta is totally in line with the long maritime tradition of St Barthelemy, where nautical events have always been popular.





Richard Mille’s sponsorship of Les Voiles de Saint Barth strengthens the brand presence in the nautical world that is already strong within the watch range. In 2009, Richard Mille introduced his first diver’s watch, the RM 025, an extremely technical tourbillon, water resistant to 300 meters with a carbon nanofiber base plate. One year on, he reveals his second diver’s watch, the RM 028 automatic, whose dimensions are slightly smaller than the RM 025 and which contains the rotor with adjustable geometry, a Richard Mille exclusivity. In 2006 and 2007, Richard Mille already introduced the RM 014 and RM 015 Tourbillon.

Entirely hand built and finished, in Swiss watch making tradition, Richard Mille watches claim an extremely technical and high performance conception, inspired by the main innovative sectors such as Aerospace, Formula One or competition yachts. These inspirations take concrete shape in the use – totally original in watch making - of high tech materials.

Richard Mille became title sponsor of several international events. After racetracks, the brand now conquers the seas with Les Voiles de Saint Barth, the new meeting for nautical competition enthusiasts.
