How Often Should You Service Your Richard Mille Watch?

In the exclusive realm of luxury watches, few names resonate as boldly as Richard Mille. Renowned for boundary-pushing designs, advanced materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, a Richard Mille timepiece is both an engineering marvel and a status symbol.

The Role of Genuine Parts in Luxury Watch Repairs

When discussing the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship, the concept of “genuine parts” is one of the most underappreciated yet critical elements. Luxury watches—whether from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, or other esteemed maisons—are more than just exquisite timepieces; they are finely tuned mechanisms that marry mechanical precision with artistic flair. When one part within these intricate movements fails or wears out, the entire watch can suffer, potentially losing accuracy and, in the worst scenarios, functionality. For seasoned collectors and first-time owners alike, understanding the importance of genuine parts in watch repairs is crucial for protecting both the financial and sentimental value of these luxury watches.
