Richard Mille

Logical

 



Hello all, 
Just for clarity's sake regarding the article shown here and subsequent responses:
We have always had lots of questions about the numbers produced and our turnover from journalists and we thought it was finally time to tell more about those issues publicly. The information here is actually nothing new for industry insiders in Switzerland; it was just never widely publicised.

Regarding selling the company: of course, the company will be sold someday in the future. It is totally logical and typical for Richard's long-term thinking.
Richard plans to reach a 100 years and still be racing cars at 90..... However,  he also wants to secure the brand's future and identity before he would retire, and this requires years of pre-planning and adjustment. By having the foresight to take time for that, he is assured of finding optimal solutions.

This is only a good thing for all Richard Mille clients today and tomorrow regarding the continuity of servicing, parts and support, in addition to insuring a legacy of future designs for production. So I applaud his openness about it and his desire to secure a strong brand foundation for all of us.

Ciao tutti,

Some 2013 figures

From an interview of the marketing director, Tim Malachard with WorldTempus : [...] This year, we will produce about 3,400 watches, compared with less than 3,000 in 2013. Our turnover for 2013 was 123 million Swiss francs and we are aiming for 150 million... 

Interesting.....

Some interesting stats there - had no idea they were at that production level, thought far less.
