Richard Mille teams up with Brough Superior

The Swiss watchmaker, known for producing highly complicated timepieces, has teamed up with Brough Superior to create a limited-edition motorcycle. Developed over 18 months, the RMB01 is essentially a tourbillon in a two-wheeler form, combining the sleek and striking Richard Mille design DNA with the impeccable engineering for which Brough Superior is renowned. Custom wheels mirror the gears of watch movements, while a simple stripped-down design that comprises an elongated tank, a minimalist seat, and a sculptural engine, pay homage to the old Broadtracker bikes that raced on wooden tracks in the US in the early 1900s.

Rimowa introduces an elegant new hue

There’s a new hue in town, making a splash across Rimowa’s Distinct and Never Still collections, such as the Distinct Cabin, Never Still Flap Backpack and Never Still Flat Pouch. Taupe, a shade that embodies the natural beauty of stones refined by wind and water—and some might say, a colour of a life well-travelled—perfectly complements Rimowa’s commitment to quality and travel as a means of broadening horizons.
