By welcoming the skier Malorie Blanc into its family, Richard Mille is both reaffirming its commitment to winter sports and backing a rising talent from the very start of her career. Swiss alpine skier Malorie Blanc is a rising star of the Downhill and Super-G speed disciplines. In 2024, aged just twenty, she was already a double junior world champion, taking gold in the Super-G and the Team Alpine Combined competitions at Châtel, along with a silver in the Downhill event.
After injury marred the end of her 2024–2025 season, she bounced back to claim her first World Cup victory in the Super-G at Crans-Montana in January 2026 and rounded off her second World Cup season with an impressive seventh place in the overall Super-G standings.
Such rapid progress did not go unnoticed at Richard Mille, which invited the young athlete to join its family of partners. During her meeting with Brand and Partnerships Director Amanda Mille, Malorie was struck by the boldness of the founder’s story and by Richard Mille’s determination to forge its own path in watchmaking. “It’s a brand that does things differently and constantly pushes beyond established standards,” she explains. “As someone who always gives my very best and loves to win, I feel very much aligned with those traits.”
Malorie also shares Richard Mille’s family values. Born in the canton of Valais, she has been skiing the slopes of Anzère from a very young age. Equally gifted at other sports, she chose to focus on alpine skiing: “It gives me a special sense of freedom, and the speed adds a rush of adrenaline.” It is also a sport that demands uncompromising discipline and a varied physical training regime.
Those demands suit a personality that is never content with just one speciality. Malorie’s versatility as an athlete is matched by her unshakeable determination. Her mental strength, coupled with humility and a positive outlook, is one of the 22-year-old’s greatest assets.
This blend of high standards and precision is perfectly reflected in the watch she now wears at competitions: the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport, the first Richard Mille timepiece designed specifically for female athletes. Technical and high-performing, it weighs just 36 grammes, Velcro® strap included.
In supporting Malorie Blanc, Richard Mille maintains its commitment to the talented athletes who are shaping the future of their sport. For the young champion, the goal remains clear: “to keep improving, push my limits and, one day, to lift the Crystal Globe – a symbol of consistency and excellence throughout an entire season.”
