8 RICHARD MILLE’S SPORTSMEN & THEIR WATCHES

Famous athletes regularly act as paid spokespeople and advertising ambassadors for watch brands. Few of them, however, are to be seen wearing the watches they promote during top-level competitions. However, the sportspeople associated with Richard Mille regularly confound expectations by actually wearing the brand’s ultra-light, ultra-strong, ultracomfortable, and indeed, ultra-expensive timepieces during championship performances. Sprinters Yohan Blake and Wayde van Niekerk, tennis great Rafael Nadal, hard-hitting golfer Bubba Watson, and F1 speed freaks Felipe Massa and Romain Grosjean are just some of the names who’ve proven you can take a title while wearing a tourbillon.
