Richard Mille Automatic Cuffs

WTFSG_richard-mille-automatic-cuffs

First there were the traditional chain cufflinks, then the pivoting T-bars. Now, Richard Mille presents to you their first “automatic” cufflinks. The Richard Mille automatic cufflinks take their inspiration from the same process of creation and development as a Richard Mille watch movement.

Two years of work went into creating and designing these exceptionally refined pieces, consisting of no fewer than 38 components each. Made from grade 5 titanium, the bars are opened using a surprising push-piece. Unlike the classic mechanism, where a pivoting bar on the cufflink holds the double cuff in place, two titanium bars are utilized to fasten the RM cuffs, which can be opened with a swift press of the push-piece. (To close, simply press the top plate.)

Finished with as much care as the technical know-how behind them, the cufflinks are beautiful to behold with their satin-brushed upper, bead-blasted and bevelled by hand for an astonishingly tactile, masculine feel.

Available at Richard Mille boutiques from October, these RM cufflinks in titanium are guaranteed for two years…and will make for a great gift for the gents in your life this coming Christmas. If you’re willing to wait, an opulent, diamond-set version is set to follow at an undetermined date.
