Luxury watch brand Richard Mille has launched its first collection of luxury cufflinks after 11 years of making only timepieces.

The cufflinks have been designed in reference to the brand’s timepieces and have take inspiration from the ways in which its watches are made. The collection has been two years in progress and each cufflink contains no less than 38 components.

Made from grade 5 titanium, they inaugurate a groundbreaking and patented mechanism that opens the bars using push-pieces.

Unlike the classic mechanism, where a pivoting bar on the cufflink holds the double cuff in place, Richard Mille’s design fastens the cuff using two titanium bars. These open with a simple press of the push-pieces and close by pressing on the top plate.
