Miles Chamleywatson
British-born New Yorker Miles Chamley-watson’s audacious attitude and unique style have garnered attention from Richard Mille, which has entered a partnership with the world fencing champion. One of the most recognisable fencers worldwide, Chamley-watson explains how important time is to his profession. “You can train your whole life, but the merest millisecond means the difference between gold and nothing. I train myself mentally in slow motion. I need to get in touch with my neural system, unblock my mind and establish a ‘flow state’.” He also discusses the similarities between the way he and Richard Mille approach their industries. “We’re both unconventional. It’s a brand that’s all about taking risks. I have ‘risk’ tattooed on my hand and I look at it for inspiration each time I compete.”
