Richard Mille was founded in 1999 by the French executive Richard Mille. Initially Richard Mille was started in a collaborative effort with Audemars Piguet. Richard Mille watches are known for their high prices and for the celebrities who endorse them.
Luxury watch brands have a history of technical achievement and fashion breakthroughs — and Richard Mille watches are no exception. The brand has been making waves in the luxury timepiece market since it was founded just under twenty years ago.
Most Richard Mille watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually Richard Mille's self-winding movements need to rotate 650 to 750 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Richard Mille winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (UPT). Then place your watch into the watch winding box and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of UPT by one step.
