A new partner for Richard Mille: Nafi Thiam

To be honest, it is not a surprise for me that the newest Richard Mille partner is a woman. One of the strategic trends for the brand is to be more focussed on ladies' watches and once again, the partner was chosen with care.

Because, in my point of view, Nafi Thiam is a perfect partner for the brand. She's the heptathlon champion who won the gold medals at the 2017 World Championships and at the 2016 Olympic Games. And as a heptathlon champion, she is very gifted in different disciplines.

These beautiful pictures are a good summary of this statement: she's able to wear with the same style and elegance several models from the collection including one of my fav pieces... the RM016!

We don't say it very often but due to its rectangular shape, the RM016 looks very large on the wrist... and it is the reason why it is so gorgeous on a lady's wrist!

So welcome Nafi Thiam in the Richard Mille family: she will bring her dynamic image, her talent, her beauty... she is the 4th track & field athlete to be involved with Richard Mille after Mutaz Essa Barshim, Yohan Blake and Wayde Van Niekerk.

Enjoy the lovely pics by Robert Jaso.

Richard always gets the most interesting brand ambassadors! I'm surprised that brands don't choose more heptathletes. They do several different sports, it increases the chance that the common man will find some connection with one of those sports! Besides... 

Exactly. Think strange choice. [nt]

Never heard of this person.

To be honest, Mutaz Essa Barshim, for example, was not a very famous athlete either

And it is not the point: for me, Richard Mille looks for high-performers and not the most famous ambassadors. These partners, due to their talents and skills, will give the opportunity to develop specific watches based on performance. Richard Mille doesn'... 

No matter what she did or does
