OUR LATEST STORIES

Here at Avi & Co., we have a well-documented love affair with Richard Mille watches. These elite pieces often take inspiration from high-performance sports, and the brand boasts numerous collaborations with well-known athletes, musicians, and even actors. With so many Richard Mille collaborations to choose from, however, it can be tough to know which is the best fit for you.

That’s why we have put together this collection of some of our favorite Richard Mille collaborations of all time. From Formula 1 drivers to Olympic skiers and from rappers to tennis greats, here are some of the best Richard Mille collab watches that every horological enthusiast should know about.

Before we dive into the earth-shaking collabs that have helped Richard Mille make a name for himself, let’s talk a little bit about this unique brand and what sets it apart from the majority of other luxury watchmakers.

Many heritage watchmakers boast a long and storied history

When it comes to luxury watches, Rolex is a name synonymous with precision, style, and durability. One of the key features that have solidified the brand’s reputation is the remarkable water resistance of Rolex watches. Technology, history, and rigorous testing are just a few of the elements that make these timepieces some of the most sought-after companions for underwater adventures. Today, we will dive into the fascinating world of water resistance in Rolex watches.

Rolex’s journey into creating waterproof watches began in the early 20th century. The brand’s founder, Hans Wilsdorf, was determined to design a timepiece that could withstand the challenges of water exposure while maintaining precision. The result was the creation of the world’s first waterproof wristwatch in 1926: The Rolex Oyster.

Since 1926, Rolex has continued this legacy, creating numerous water-resistant watches

For the runners among us, wearing an accessory like a luxury watch might seem excessive – after all, many runners and other athletes opt for sport watches like an Apple Watch, a Garmin device, or even a FitBit. But believe it or not, luxury watches can be sporty too. In fact, some of the world’s most famous (and expensive!) watch brands – like Richard Mille and Rolex – have created watches inspired by and built for high-performance sports.

Even more traditional brands like Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe have recently premiered sportier lines, such as the rugged Royal Oak Offshore collection or the Aquanaut that introduces rubber straps and large faces to support athletes in all different kinds of competitions. Today, let’s dive into the world of sporty luxury watches… because trust us, you can do better than a smartwatch.

The story of wristwatches begins with a convoluted history – many historians are unsure of the exact timeline of the wristwatch.

In an era of endless athleisure brands, pickleball clubs popping up left and right, and a common interest in eating well, living well, and looking fabulous, the best investment you can make is a trendy, sporty-chic watch. The right luxury watch will make you stand out, turn heads, and show others you know how to master the sporty-chic aesthetic while still maintaining a unique sense of style.

Anyone who knows anything about fashion knows that investing in a sporty-chic Patek Philippe watch is the perfect choice to add to your collection. Beyond its stylish appeal, Patek Philippe offers integrity fit for the modern era. Thierry Stern, the brand’s president, sees Patek Philippe as “more than just a company to him; it’s a legacy he must fiercely protect, even if that means disappointing some clients and going against market demands.”

Patek Philippe watches are gorgeous timepieces you can never go wrong with, and their sporty style will only help solidify your status as a trendsetter. Choose

When you think about celebrity fashion culture, there are probably a few key elements that come to mind: luxury, wealth, and trend-setting, for starters. In this day and age, celebrities are the kings and queens of gorgeous and glamorous fashion. When you have all the money in the world, plenty of high society events to attend, and designers desperate to dress you in their latest garbs, of course you want to wear only the best – and that includes, of course, the watches celebrities choose to wear.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus is a long-time favorite of celebrities worldwide, regardless of what industry they dominate. The Patek Philippe Nautilus goes hand-in-hand with the fashion choices celebrities tend to favor. Expensive materials like gold and platinum, prestigious names from old and established heritage brands, and glamorous design features – these are all elements that the Patek Philippe Nautilus embodies as part of its history, design functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

Since 1932, OMEGA has been the official record timekeeper for the Olympic Games – they are the first and only company to ever hold this position. OMEGA watches have been strapped to the wrists of celebrities such as Daniel Craig, Eddie Redmayne, David Beckham, and Zoë Kravitz. Not only does the suave spy James Bond himself wear OMEGA, but this phenomenal brand has even been to space!

It takes an impressive 500 hours to produce a single timepiece. The OMEGA Chrono Chime Speedmaster is the most complicated watch produced by the brand. It shows a minute repeater that chimes a chronograph’s elapsed time and costs $500,544.

We love OMEGA because it's the deepest dive watch and it’s the perfect entry choice into the luxury watch world. Not only that, but it has a rich history that began 175 years ago. OMEGA is pretty much a celebrity on its own.

Are you still unsure whether this is a good time to purchase an OMEGA watch? Let’s dive a little deeper into why we think you should...
