Revisiting Ester Ledecká and How She’s Conquering Peaks with Richard Mille

In the light of the recent Richard Mille’s new ladies' watches, we only thought it would be appropriate to revisit the first ever ladies' watch RM has ever made. And with whom better to do so than with the Czech sports icon, Ester Ledecká.

Ester, the Snow Queen, is no stranger to breaking records and expectations. From winning her first Milca Cup Series at just five to securing gold at the World Junior Championships, she's been turning heads in the world of snow sports for many years. But it was the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang that truly catapulted her to legendary status.

In a jaw-dropping feat, Ester managed to win double gold in both skiing and snowboarding, including a surprise Super-G win. Yet, what set her apart even more was her prior decision to qualify for the Olympics in not one, but two distinct sports – a brand new achievement no female athlete had ever pulled off in a single Winter Games.

 

But Ester’s road to glory wasn't a walk in the park. Critics, friends, family and coaches insisted she had to choose and specialize. Yet, from the age of 14, she stood her ground, declaring, "I want to do both. If that's a problem, I'll find another coach." It's that undying spirit that makes Ester not just a champion, but a trailblazer.

That’s why Richard Mille has chosen her to test the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport, Richard Mille's first women's sports watch. Weighing just 36 grams, this timepiece is designed with women seeking both performance and style in mind. It took three years of extensive development to create this lightweight watch, pushing the boundaries of compact skeletonized automatic movements and shock resistance.

Assembled with grade 5 titanium components, treated with black PVD and electroplasma, the RM 07-04 is all about mixing form and function. Richard Mille's dedication to precision and innovation mirrors Ester's own pursuit of excellence.

Ester Ledecká’s journey, from a young prodigy to a Winter Olympics legend, shows how far can determination and self-belief lead you. As she continues to conquer new heights, she does so with a Richard Mille on her wrist, being reminded of the audacity and strength that defines them both.

 

Together, Ester Ledecká and Richard Mille show the world the much-needed inspiration for those who dare to chase their dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. Their partnership is a celebration of breaking boundaries, both on the slopes and in the world of horology. With the iconic beauty of RM and a touch of Czech spirit, they’re redefining what it means to be a champion.
