A rising force on the moguls circuit

Arthur de Villaucourt is one of the most closely watched names in freestyle skiing, attacking mogul fields at speed while keeping striking control and style. Still in his early twenties, he is known for refining technique and creativity with the same intensity he brings to competition.

This season, he is targeting a Top 30 world ranking and a place at the 2026 Winter Olympics. His calm temperament, humility, and perseverance stand out in a discipline defined by risk, echoing the human values at the core of the Richard Mille philosophy.

The partnership strengthens the brand’s presence in skiing alongside Alexis Pinturault, Ester Ledecká, Johannes Bø, and Tomoka Takeuchi. Amanda Mille, Brand and Partnerships Director, highlights Arthur’s serenity, humility, and maturity—qualities that go beyond results and show an ability to inspire through attitude. By aligning with an athlete moving his discipline forward, Richard Mille reaffirms its commitment to the future of elite sport.

Arthur’s admiration for the maison dates back to his youth. His entry into the Richard Mille family began at an automotive event, where he caught the eye of Maxime Guenat, Managing Director at Guenat SA. Montres Valgine. Impressed by his motivation, the encounter led to his official welcome into the circle of Richard Mille athletes—an evolution he simply describes as “the dream came true”.

The RM 67-02: engineered for impact

Arthur specialises in moguls, where side-slipping, pivoting, cushioning, and pole-planting must absorb continuous shocks at high speed. The forces involved are severe, and his watch has to withstand repeated impacts without compromising comfort.

On his wrist is the RM 67-02 Automatic Extra Flat, with a case crafted from white Quartz TPT® and Carbon TPT®. Its compact, athletic profile suits the dynamic movements of elite skiing, while its 32-gram weight makes it the lightest automatic watch in the Richard Mille collection. Created for performance-minded athletes within the brand’s family, the RM 67-02 is both a technical instrument and a clear statement of intent. As Arthur sums it up: “It’s beautiful, I really love it.”

For Arthur, the RM 67-02 is also a mental edge. He associates Richard Mille with those “at the top”, and speaks of the psychological lift that comes from clipping on the watch before a run. Being part of the Richard Mille family pushes him to work harder and aim for the summit of the World Cup standings and the Winter Olympics in 2026.

Why it matters

The partnership between Richard Mille and Arthur de Villaucourt highlights the brand’s selective approach to athletes whose mindset mirrors its own pursuit of excellence. By equipping a young mogul skier with the RM 67-02 Automatic Extra Flat, the maison shows how advanced materials and ultra-light engineering perform in demanding real-world conditions on snow.
