Yohan Blake Could be Fined for Richard Mille Watch Publicity Stunt at the Olympic Games
Richard Mille found a loophole in the strict regulations, placing a prototype tourbillon on Blake’s wrist. He was the only one to wear a watch during the 100m finals, where he came in second to countryman Usain Bolt to win the Silver medal. While Blake positioned himself in the starting blocks, the half million-dollar watch was strategically on his right wrist, in prime position for a beautiful Hollywood close-up.
Apparently, the Olympic committee is furious for being duped by team Richard Mille. The fact that OMEGA sponsors the games as the official timer and pays a small fortune for the privilege adds an extra sting to the situation. We’ll keep you updated on how it all turns out.

For other Richard Mille Sports related watches why not look at the RM038 and RM055 Bubba Watson Watch or the Richard Mille RM056 the watch that shouldn’t be worn???
