Michelle Yeoh has a killer watch collection
Yeoh recently accessorised a Schiaparelli gown with a Richard Mille RM 07-01 ‘Intergalactic’ watch to collect the best female actor award for her role in Everything Everywhere All At Once at the Screen Actors Guild, becoming the first woman of Asian descent to do so in the award’s history. Now very much seen as the frontrunner for the Best Female Actor Oscar, we're intrigued to see what watch Yeoh will rock to the ceremony – because her unique combination of haute horology and haute couture has totally upended our idea of what a woman's watch can and should be – and how they can look.
The ‘Intergalactic' RM-07-01 combines the curvaceous forms of the brand’s signature tonneau case with the mind-bendingly advanced technical and material savoir-faire for which it is famous. The brand’s proprietary Carbon TPT is both super light and super strong – not unlike Yeoh herself (it's called ‘synergy’) – and has a lovely variegated pattern upon which diamonds have been sprinkled for that ‘intergalactic’ dazzle. Under the bonnet, the watch packs as much haute horological firepower as any man’s watch and features the CRMA-2 movement with 50 hours of power reserve and an hours, minutes and variable-geometry rotor – all of which has been skeletonised.
All in all it’s out of this world. Next stop: the Oscars.
