I am walking down the quay at the megayacht marina in Genoa, Italy. I see a big, white trideck. And a big, white trideck. And a big, white trideck.

And a big… gold… performance cruiser?

Richard Mille sees to it that women have their own tourbillon to play with this year in a long-awaited expansion to the collection for the fairer sex. The baseplate of the ladies tourbillon RM019 Celtic Knot has been crafted out of black onyx while diamonds grace the Celtic Knot that crisscrosses the movement.

The RM019 is as technically impressive – with hours, minutes and power reserve, along with the tourbillon – as the diver’s watch but its design cues inform the mystique of feminine time. The watch will be available in 18 carat white gold and red gold.
