Rochard milli7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() In April 2022, Mille introduced the RM 47 Tourbillon Samurai, a watch that brought an all-new level of micro-engraving artistry to the brand’s vocabulary. ![]() To celebrate every moment with friends and family and to always understand that it is these bonds that are the most important.” The RM 52 used a grade 5 titanium skull and crossbones, perfectly polished and angled as the bridges of the movement, with the jewel for the tourbillon held between the jaws. This is always the way he lives his life and the way he has taught us to live ours. Says Alexandre Mille, the commercial director of the brand, “I was just a kid when the watch came out, but I could already understand how my father wanted to use the symbolism of a death head on a device that charts the passing of time to remind people that we all only have one life and that every moment had to be cherished. It is a motto that reminds us all of our mortality and that we are, therefore, morally obligated to live our lives to the very fullest. Inspired by the flag of pirate ships, the watch design was also Mille’s take on the symbolism of memento mori or tempus fugit that dated back to ancient Roman mosaics, reached a zenith of popularity in oil paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries and is the underlying motif of Mexico’s Day of the Dead. The first of these was the RM 52 Tourbillon Skull introduced in 2012.
