Richard Mille: The Impossible Collection

Assouline's coffee table book "Richard Mille: The Impossible Collection" is an ode to the "bad boy" of contemporary watchmaking. Discover the rich history of the Swiss extravagant watch brand that has only been around for such a short time.

In barely twenty-five years, watchmaker Richard Mille has managed to build one of the world's most prized watch brands. Rare and precious, these mechanical gems possess an uncanny ability to elicit an almost visceral attachment from their owners. Today, Richard Mille's watches have become the absolute symbol of success for global entrepreneurs and mega-stars.

Endowed with a love of technology, Richard Mille has changed the face of Swiss watchmaking by adding new materials, techniques and concepts. Uniting the three areas Mille loves most - aviation, automobiles and horology - the brand's timepieces are not only visually stunning, but are each true works of art. By forging creative partnerships with top athletes (Rafael Nadal, Bubba Watson) and names in the automotive industry (McLaren, Ferrari), Richard Mille's watches push the boundaries of lightness, thinness and shock resistance with technologically advanced materials not found in any other watch.

From a prototype of the original RM 001 from 2001 to the recently unveiled RM 16-02 with its mesmerizing labyrinthine skeletal movement, the 79 models in this handcrafted Ultimate Collection, selected by luxury watch and jewelry expert Fabienne Reybaud, showcase all the technical ingenuity and meticulous craftsmanship the brand exemplifies.
