Lewis Hamilton is not only the best F1 driver in history, he is also a fashion icon. His outfits made by great designers during certain race weekends proved it. This weekend, the Briton once again distinguished himself off the circuit, at the inauguration of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.
And Switzerland has something to do with it! Indeed, in addition to his YSL outfit, it was the diamond-set watch worn by Lewis Hamilton that caused a sensation during the parade and the traditional photo shoot. It was a Richard Mille RM 17-01 Tourbillon “snow-set”, reference RM17-01 RG.
This piece, signed by the jeweler des Breuleux, was made in 18-carat pink gold and is adorned with a set of diamonds of different sizes set on the case using small claws. Their arrangement is designed to create a snowy field effect on which the light is reflected.
More than half a million Swiss francs
“This is one of the most exceptional Richard Milles we have ever seen,” praised the specialist media “GQ”. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion was able to see in this room all its potential for an event of such importance.” The choice was the right one. Lewis Hamilton stood out among a host of stars such as his partner Kim Kardashian, the singer Katy Perry and George Lucas, the founder of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.
Obviously, this watch is not for everyone. You have to pay between 545,000 and 665,000 Swiss francs to acquire one.
