The company was bought by Matra in 1981 and Richard Mille rose to manage Matra\u2019s watchmaking business, which then included the brands Yema and Cupillard Ri\u00e8me. Matra\u2019s watchmaking activities were sold to Seiko, who Mille left in 1992 to start a watchmaking business for jewellery firm Mauboussin. In 1999 he founded the company Richard Mille SA in collaboration with Audemars Piguet. Its first product, the RM001 went on sale in 2001<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
