Richard Mille

Paris in the spring is such a beautiful city. There is a bounce in the step of one and all – tennis players and spectators alike. I was lucky enough to be invited to Richard’s Lounge at Roland Garros where we were all assembled to delight at the tennis on...  

He's currently serving for the second set. I'm impressed that the watch is holding up at such racquet speeds! Hope you had fun at Roland Garros. Cheers, Daos

I will be just off a transatlantic trip but I will manage. R Mille is a fantastic comunicator too.This is the first time, as a watch fanatic, where I felt "represented" in a public event. I played tennis for 25 years of my life (decent level as a teenager...

captures the image, but now the imagination does.... I can remember both players, the clouds moving across the sky, the stands on either side. It captures all there is and condenses into the image. Particularly good for photos of sailing where the field o...
