Overtaking manoeuvres: Richard Mille’s Peter Harrison on scaling the watch podium

The Luxury Society Podcast · 2025-06-24

In this episode, hosts Robin Swithinbank and David Sadigh sit down with Peter Harrison, CEO of Richard Mille EMEA, to explore how the ultra-luxury watchmaker rocketed from start-up to Swiss powerhouse in just two decades. Peter, who has been with the brand since the early 2000s, offers rare behind-the-scenes insight into the philosophy, partnerships, and precision-engineering that have made Richard Mille one of the world’s most successful watch brands.

From selling his first watch to building a network of high-performance ambassadors such as Felipe Massa and Rafael Nadal, to expanding into key growth markets, Peter explains what makes Richard Mille tick—literally and strategically.

Also in this episode: DLG’s Benedicte Soteras returns for On the Download, revealing data that shows Richard Mille's online and social momentum is accelerating—especially in fast-growing emerging markets.
