Richard Mille has just rolled out a new timepiece, the RM-65-01 McLaren W1, which draws inspiration from McLaren’s newest sports car.

Since the team behind this watch was briefed about the car back in 2022, it got some insight into the final design of the McLaren W1 and had enough time to create a unique timepiece.

And just like the McLaren W1, the RM-65-01 McLaren W1 is characterized by bright orange accents and a design that’s quite similar to the one featured on the new car. The bezel has angled cuts, giving the watch a sportscar look. And everything that’s featured on the timepiece is complemented by the sleek and stylish strap.

Apart from that, this new watch from Richard Mille is manufactured with materials that are used on the McLaren W1, such as carbon fiber and titanium, for durability.

While the Richard Mille RM 65-01 watch comes with a 43.8 mm casing, it is quite light since it’s made from lightweight materials. The side of the casing has push-buttons, which are inspired by McLaren’s exhaust pipes.

Thanks to the RMAC4 automatic chronograph calibre, this timepiece is quite accurate and reliable—it can easily measure 1/10th of a second. It is also fitted with a clear sapphire cover that offers beautiful sightings of the automatic chronograph calibre.

Richard Mille will manufacture only 500 pieces and sell the first 399 to those who purchased the McLaren W1. The remaining pieces will be offered by authorized dealers.

With that said, the RM-65-01 McLaren W1 timepiece retails at $405,300.

If the stylish James Bond were a watch, he'd be a Richard Mille watch—daring, sophisticated, and in a league of its own. The latest masterpiece from the brand, the RM 21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne, is a testament to the audacious spirit of luxury horology. Let's dive into the horological realm where Richard Mille reigns supreme.
Craftsmanship beyond conventions
Richard Mille is not in the business of creating watches for men; they're in the business of crafting horological marvels. The RM 21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne is a prime example. Its tonneau-shaped case, measuring a precise 42.68 x 50.12 x 14.30 mm, is a symphony of engineering artistry. The case is not just a housing for the movement; it's a work of art, an aerodynamic ode to precision.

At the heart of this mechanical masterpiece beats a manual winding tourbillon, showcasing Richard Mille's commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking. The tourbillon, replacing engaging friction with rolling friction, ensures smooth time-setting functions, making every moment count. It's not just a watch; it's a dance of gears and screws orchestrated with precision.

Any shoe with the influence and impact as the adidas Superstar sneaker will always see redesigns and remixes. Throughout the years, this sneaker has seen many differing versions, adding to its legacy as one of the hottest sneakers in recent seasons. Although it’s hard to replicate the same impact as the original design, JJJJound is taking on this iconic silhouette and creating a new sleek design. Although much of the silhouette doesn’t change, this collaboration adds new touches and materials that elevate it to another level. A more sophisticated look for the Superstar sneaker, this collaboration is perfect for those wanting to infuse their street style into any occasion.
JJJJound x adidas Superstar 90 “Made in Japan”

Donning an all-black look, the collaborative Superstar sneaker uses JJJJound’s recognized Japanese leather for a soft and elegant look. Rather than add new features to the original shoe, this collaboration sees fewer details for a scaled-back appearance. In this latest iteration, the Superstar sneaker appears without its tongue logo and sans emblems on the heel tabs. Besides removing these features, the text “JJJJound” replaces the golden “Superstar” text along the side of the iconic three white stripes. A lowkey and subtle switch-up on a classic sneaker, this collaborative shoe draws a statement from how sleek and modern its appearance is. Ideal for those looking for a more sophisticated everyday sneaker, this collaboration is set to hit the shelves on February 1, 2025. Fans looking to purchase these sleek sneakers can do so via JJJJound’s web store.
