Simply Abu Dhabi VI

RICHARDMILLE & YAS MARINA CIRCUIT Felipe Massa wearing the RM 011 Flyback Chronograph Yas Marina Limited Edition - Copyright Renaud Corlouer Y as Marina Circuit served as the perfect setting for the first anniversary celebration of the successful partnership between Abu Dhabi Motorsport Management (ADMM) and Richard Mille. In 2010 RichardMille announced its association with the Yas Marina Circuit & Racing School as official time-keeping partner. And how could we forget the limited-edition watch that was of course launched to celebrate the start of the joining of forces in motor sport and timepieces? The RM011 FelipeMassa Flyback Chronograph Yas Marina Circuit featured a distinctive Yas Marina livery with a bright blue inner bezel and a white rubber strap, paying homage to the Circuit’s colours. With the Yas Marina adorning the dial above the oversized date it was no surprise that only ten of the exquisite 18k white gold watches were produced, available exclusively through Yas Marina Circuit. RichardMille watches are renowned for their strong identity using extreme technique and sophistication to create hand- finished watches in the best tradition of Swiss watchmaking. The association with Yas Marina confirmed Richard Mille’s natural connection with the world of car racing, which we have no doubt will lead to further engagement with the local community in the Middle East in the coming years. To celebrate the anniversary of the pairing of ADMM and Richard Mille, personalities from the world of motorsports and members of Abu Dhabi’s senior business elite came together for the stunning event at Yas Marina Circuit. Guest of honour, His Excellency Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, CEO, Mubadala Development Company and member of the Executive Council for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi was also in attendance. As Chairman of the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC), Abu Dhabi Media Zone, Yas Marina Circuit and Manchester City Football Club to name but a few, with a particular interest in the development of education in the Emirate, His Excellency’s presence was welcomed by all including the manager of Manchester City Football Club, Roberto Mancini, who accompanied him. 8 3 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
