Richard Mille – New RM 032 Dark Diver Automatic Chronograph

30-PIECE LIMITED EDITION AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AT THE RICHARD MILLE BOUTIQUE BEVERLY HILLS

Like the original RM 032 Automatic Chronograph, this limited edition is water-resistant to 300 meters (30 atmospheres) following ISO 6425 diver’s watch norms. That degree of water-resistance is particularly difficult to achieve with a chronograph, since water pressure on the pushers and crown could be powerful enough to unintentionally start the chronograph. In order to avoid any external pressure effect or accidental manipulation, Richard Mille has developed a locking crown for the RM 032 that secures the pushers and as a result ensures perfect water resistance. The crown and its pushers can be locked by simply rotating its ring.
The 50-mm tripartite titanium case is curved for ergonomic comfort, a hallmark of all Richard Mille models. Its dramatic dark look is achieved with a DLC treatment on the case and buckle, plus black bezel indicators, pushers and rubber strap. Superluminova elements on the running indicator disc, hands and hour markers allow maximum visibility during any undersea adventure.
Only 30 pieces of the new RM 032 DARK DIVER Automatic Chronograph will be made. The limited edition will be sold at the Richard Mille Boutique Beverly Hills, California.

 BREMONT WATCH COMPANY OPENS FIRST STORE IN MAYFAIR


Here's the news straight from BREMONT -


Bremont is delighted to announce the opening of its first stand-alone store which will be located on South Audley Street, Mayfair. Joining an impressive line-up of high-end brands that include Purdey and Marc Jacobs, the boutique will showcase the Bremont collections as well as encompassing the heritage of the brand.

Following the successful launch of the brand co-founded by brothers Nick and Giles English in 2007, it has gone from strength to strength winning several awards such as the Retail Watch Brand of the Year in 2011 as well as Watch Pro’s Luxury Watch and the People’s Choice Award in the watch category at the Couture Watch & Jewellery Show in Las Vegas in 2012.

Bremont has seen significant growth across the UK, US and Asian markets and is stocked in over 40 of the best retailers worldwide. It now celebrates the launch of its flagship boutique in London’s Mayfair, occupying two levels it will have a club-like atmosphere with its very own bar.

Giles English, Co-Founder of Bremont: “As a British company we felt we needed a show-case to promote ourselves to visitors from all around the world. The boutique will be more than a traditional watch store. There will be an explorers club based from there, a considerable watch library and it will also be the only place in the world to see unique items like the Bremont B-1 Marine Clock. It is never an easy decision to launch your own boutique, but when we were approached by Grosvenor regarding the location there was no hesitation. We felt it was perfect for our brand.”

The store is scheduled to open on the 25th June 2012
