Richard Mille has opened the door for our team to view the new Bonbon’s collection presented in 2019 at Watches & Wonders
Since the beginning, this collection, has been discussed for the theme and its colours, which remind of the “sweet” childhood’s world made of lollipops, fruit and candies.
This collection has won the hearts of the people who have grasped the brand’s message, as well as disappointed the more conservative people, used to classic watchmaking.
We find it difficult to determine which piece of the collection has been our favourite as they are all astonishing and brilliant, however we definitely have one which draw our attention.
The Richard Mille Marshmallow RM 07-03
In the stand, full of colours, lights and candies, the undisputed key player was this white watch with a colourful dial: the new RM07-03, with the manufacture calibre CRMA2.
At sight, the dazzling white catched our attention due to the ceramic used to make the bezel, with a big pink crown on the side. On the other hand, the sides of the case are made of shiny pink gold generating, therefore, a beautiful contrast with white and the other colours.
The dial is handmade glazed by expert artisans, representing the famous American candy, which creates a visual perception of its softness and sweetness.
The surprising size and its balance, make it perfect even for smaller wrists (16cm). This could have represented a new chapter for Richard Mille, who has previously “reserved” its watches mainly to people with big wrists (especially on its best sellers’ pieces). However, this has not been the case.
This timepiece is truly harmonious on the wrist, not too thick and truly enjoyable to wear (even if it is not perfect for shirts’ cuffs). Notwithstanding the bright colour, the watch is not too obvious when worn and it is also suitable to many different situations, even formal ones. Obviously, it must be counterbalanced by a strong character and by the flair of the person who wears it, in order not to be outclassed by the eccentricity of having a real candy on the wrist.
The key lies in the spirit you wear it.
Certainly, in this magic environment it is easy to go back to childhood, exploring the energy of a genius like Richard Mille. It is now down to future buyers and to enthusiasts to interpret the massage given by the French mind. In reality, it is not frequent to feel carried away in another universe only by looking at your own wrist, yet Mr. Mille has done it.
We are looking forward to meeting some lucky owner of one of these 30 pieces, which price tag is around EUR 156,000, to share with us the feeling of wearing the mythical “Marshmallow”.
